No idea what role - I'll probably try out for Billy Bibbit, if he isn't pre-cast. Pretty much the only part in my age bracket, sadly.

The main community theatre company around here is putting it on as their final mainstage show in a few months...they haven't released the audition details yet though, so I have no idea what parts they'll be casting for. Still - no matter what roles are availible, you can damn well bet I wouldn't miss the chance.

Read Kesey's book a few years back - loved it, really is a great read. I can see why he was pissed about the movie version though...tons of changes.

Watchmen

Really enjoyed it. Patrick Wilson is great. Jackie Earle Haley is fucking amazing as Rorschach. The ending is different, but I feel it is almost (it's a sin to say it, I know) better than Alan Moore's climax.

There are some really lame music cues and some silliness, but I walked out smiling.

8/10

"Amityville II - the possession" 6/10

What a surprisingly hardcore horror movie, considering the date.

Another surprising thing was the acting from especially the actors playing the incestous siblings. Why the hell didn't Jack Magner (the brother) get more movie parts than "Firestarter" after this performance?? I thought he was the highlight of Amityville 2.

My Bloody Valentine 3D

Dont nail me for this, Elvis. Liked it much more than I actually thought I would. It must be one heck of an experience to see this on the big screen. Here's to hoping.

Dante 01 (2008)

http://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/images/s...008_poster.jpg

Set in the future, where criminals are packed off to outer space, recounts the mishaps of six dangerous criminals locked in a prison on Dante, a hostile planet with a toxic atmosphere. As guinea pigs of strange experiences, the six try to escape under the direction of psychopath Cesar, who battles for leadership with St Georges, an inmate gifted with mysterious powers.

The story looks promising at the first half but the end screwed the whole impression.

Outpost

Not sure how many of you have seen this, but this is a kickass flick. Pretty similar to Dog Soldiers or even Deathwatch but on a smaller scale, budget-wise.

What makes this flick stand out is the outstanding direction and script, backed by some really solid performances and beautiful cinematography, which creates a lot of wonderful atmosphere - especially in the second half. The ending is a bit of a letdown (**MINOR SPOILERS**) with no explanations or background given to explain for the actions of the antagonist , but overall its gritty, solid and nifty.

I really liked it and would love to recommend this to all my friends here in HDC. Watch the ending with a very open mind though.

Eternus Vistigium 03-07-2009 08:48 AM

Currently Watching Urban Legends trilogy.

On Thursday I watched the first one, one of the best horrors I have ever seen.

Friday I watched Final Cut. Nowehere near as good as the original but still a suspenseful storyline and amazing movie.

Tonight I'll watch Bloody Mary. hope it is better than the first. I have heard it was, but I don't think it will be.

Also watched Babysitter Wanted on Thursday. Wasn't as good as people saaid, that might be because I prefer straight up slasher, whereas, Babysitter Wanted was more who's outside movie.
