If you watched "The Kingdom" then you will like "Body of Lies". If you haven't seen "The Kingdom" then watch it, its a must.
Body of Lies - tis not a bad movie at all, a biit mental in places but thats just the nature of the middle east.
Starts off in Manchester with a big boom and ends in Jordan.

According to Peter Andre many people start with a boom in Manchester and end up in Jordan.

I love films but I own no porn! Porn is evil!

"ATTACK Of The Evil, Nasty, Demonic Killing Thing!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8ZVQkzGywY#lq-hq)
how this film never won an oscar is beyond me! probably the best movie ever made.
-
Ghostbusters is coming back with original cast for Ghostbuster 3!!
-
i heard that too - is it DEFINITELY going to happen though? (i heard the same thing abour Polie Academy last year but they pulled the plug on it.)
-
You can't take it for granted until the films at the cinema these days. Not sure what I think about the proposed remake of Nightmare On Elm Street.
-
the elm street remake sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. i grew up with these films - and i am a massive fan. to re-hash it would be an insult my mr. krueger. and they just don't learn, either - all the other recent horror remakes haven't been much cop.
-
Ooh, do I spy another horror fan?
-
oh yeah - big time. (was it the avatar that gave it away?)
-
What, Texas Chainsaw Massacre? No... My Freddy appears to have vanished, so I'll have to get a new avatar! I'm also into horror in a big way. I was brought up on a diet of Hammer, Amicus and Tyburn!
-
i was a BIG hammer fan as a kid. then i moved onto the likes of Freddy, Jason and co. i'm even into the really cheesey sicko italian horrors (Cannibal Ferrox etc.) i don't really like the direction horror has taken in recent years with all the michael bay re-hashes and teen vampire movies. i long for the days of Bruce Campbell decapitating zombies and Jack Nicholson trudging around hedge-mazes.
-
Yep, I know how you feel. I am a big Lucio Fulci fan and love stuff like Zombie Flesh Eaters and The Beyond. All that Italian splatter is great stuff! Nowadays we get the Saw franchise which ain't a patch on the Friday 13th series. It takes itself too seriously.
-
the original texas chainsaw, friday the 13th, elm st., hellraiser, evil dead - they just don't make 'em like they used to! i like the old-old stuff as well, like Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors and House Of Wax and all that (i love vincent price, peter cushing and christopher lee.) Lucio Fulci is great - i like Umberto Lenzi too.
i do like some modern horror. the first Saw was good, and the original and remake of The Ring was good... and The Grudge (both versions) sent the fear of god up me!
(diggin' the new avatar, BTW.)

Which one would you watch?

jeepers creepers started quite good - then the monster sprouted wings and it all went downhill.
jeepers creepers 2 was just relatively weak all the way through.
pitch black was highly original and fun.
riddick was a damn good sequel.
-
freddy got fingered and sex lives of the potato men were both appalling movies. if i HAD to watch one again - i'd probably opt for the brit one, as i hate tom green with a passion.
-
Ghostbusters is coming back with original cast for Ghostbuster 3!!
i've just read that it's going to be a cgi animated movie, rather than live action, with the original cast members lending their likenesses as voices. this is a bit of a disappointment if it is true.
-
Someone told me Little Miss Sunshine won 3 oscars so i watched it last night and it was sh*t.
-
what?! i LOOOOOOOVED Little Miss Sunshine! i thought it was great. how come you didn't get on with it?
-
This post reminds me of the episode of Family Guy when Chris gets a job at the local corner store and just talks movies with the guy who runs it.
-
State of Play, anyone seen it?
-
@ netbuddy - Jeepers Creepers is awful, with one of the worst punchlines in horror! It starts off well and then just declines rapidly! I still haven't watched Pitch Black.
@wjp666 - I'm a massive fan of the first four (yes, four) Hellraiser films. I just wish they'd release the proper cut of Hellraiser IV! I too love anything with Price, Cushing or Lee in it, especially at the same time!
-
i think Hellraiser 2 was my fave (uncut version.)
Price, Lee and Cushing are gods to me! i share my birthday with Vincent, too.
i think my fave hammer horror was Dracula: Prince Of Darkness. that film was the ultimate vampire flick, in my opinion.
i used to have a very good collection of bootlegs horrors throughout the late 80's and 90's. but now they've un-banned alot of the titles i had, it sort of took the fun out of it all.
dr.terror - have you seen the other Hellraiser sequels? (the 4 that never got a proper release over here.) i've thought about importing them, but i've heard they're pretty awful.
-
I steered clear of anything after Hellraiser IV as I too have heard bad stuff about them. I wonder what this reboot is going to be like. Clive Barker reckons it's truer to the original novella, but we shall see. In my eyes, Doug Bradley IS Pinhead!
I don't think I could ever say what my fave Hammer film is because there are so many good ones. The climax to Dracula: Prince Of Darkness is brilliant, though.
-
isn't it just? not the traditional way to kill a vampire.
-
For some reason, people seem to think porn is directly related to crime and drugs cartells???... dunno how...I watched a good film the other night....the film 'Yes Man' starring Jim Carrey....had a few good gags in there!
I have to admit that I am trying to say "Yes" to life more often these days.
-
I don't know how the Trekkies will take it, but when I saw the trailer for this today I thought it a must see.

I am a huge film snob much to my husband's frustration. I'll only relax and take risks (like Mama Mia) in the summer when I'm on holiday. Otherwise, if I have to spend a couple of hours on my bum watching something, it has to engage me on several levels.
I hate horror films, but I used to watch them when I was younger (and it was mainly illegal!!). Among the best I saw were The Omen (only film 1), Halloween (again, only film 1) and Rosemary's Baby.
I dislike most American films these days. I find the dialogue is often difficult to hear and understand as the actors mumble. The films seem to be plot driven rather than character driven and there is too much emphasis on special effects. Having said that, about a year ago I went to see The Director's Cut version of Blade Runner and thought it was fantastic.
My favourite American films hark manily back to the late 60s and early 70s and include:
Soldier Blue
Midnight Cowboy
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Diva
I like old English films such as:
This Happy Breed
Goodbye Mr Chips (Robert Donat as Mr Chips)
A Taste of Honey
Whistle Down The Wind
And I like most things by Mike Leigh.
-
midnight cowboy - one of my faves! and it makes me cry every time i watch it.
