I actually liked that one...It's not one of my favorites, but still okay...But, it's quite a bit like 'Dark Harvest'...Almost TOO much......

Dustin really liked it, as I think most musicians would...I think Steve Railsback is an excellent actor...He does his characters so well...He practically WAS Manson in 'Helter Skelter', it was eerie...And his Ed Gein was awesome, too...

Lifeforce and The Stunt Man are the 2 i like him in..

mmmm....Lifeforce

and Peter O'Toole stole the whole show in Stuntman.

1. Ryan Renolds was OK, but not very good, while James Brolin played the part amazingly. The George character was better even aside from the acting in the original, IMO, because at first, he was a nice guy who slowly decended into madness, while in the remake, he was a jackass to start.

2. In the original, more was left to the imagination. It never told you why the house was haunted, it just sorta was. I find that much creepier than semi-decent looking CGI ghosts in a movie like this.

3. Father Delaney was one of my favorite parts of the original, and he hardly had a cameo in this one. His scene in the house when it tells him to Get Out is one of my all time personal favorite scenes.

4. In the original, I liked how the house cut them off from the outside world, by screwin' with the phone lines, and sickening those who entered. None of this is in the new.

Stigmata

Hmmm...Equilibrium?
 

Back to equilibrium for a moment...a little while ago I saw some of it...I'd like to finish it, and I'm sure I will - had a very interesting concept.
Now, about a week ago, I saw a documentary about old action/sci-fi movies, and one called "farenheit 451" was discussed.
It seems to share the basic idea of equilibrium, and I had to wonder if maybe the earlier film had inspired it...would anyone that has seen both films agree to this?

So, farenheit 451, is it worth watching? Looks pretty good...

Re: Hmmm...Equilibrium?
 

Equilibrium is influenced by Farenheight 451, Brave New World, and 1984. Add to the mix some excellent action and interesting characters - and there you go.

The movie Farenheight 451 is a bleak view of the future (it doesnt look futuristic at all - just the concepts) but it's an interesting film by François Truffaut (one of my favorite filmmakers)

Its being remade as well ... big suprise.

I recommend you read the book by Ray Bradbury ..

I would say though, that yes - Farenheight 451 was the heaviest inspiration for Equilibrium..

"Cursed"

Asian horror movie.


Not very good.

5/10


Despite it´s low budget and bad actors, this movie actually started out pretty promising with a girl getting wasted by a bus, a guy disapearing in a dark room, and especially the almost "halloween" scene where a girl is being followed by a creepy guy draging a sledgehammer.
But sadly enough "Cursed" turns out to be a complete mess, with a chaotic ending that stops in the middle of everything without giving you any answers at all..:mad:

I watched the first episode of the original BBC tv series of "Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy" on the box-set I borrowed.
I've never seen it, or read the books...
Despite looking rather dated, it still had an interesting story, and was quite funny. I look foward to seeing more.
