Lost in Translation

Hmm, well I watched this thinking it would be poo(although I do like Bill Murray) and at the beginning had a pleasant surprise. I had a few laffs and then in the middle the film seems somewhat confused and it kinda tails off from there. An ok offering (worth while for the jogging machine scene) if you have nothing else to do...

6/10

Red Eye

I have to say I really enjoyed this. OK, so it wasn't scary, or a horror film for that matter but it did remind me of something along the lines of a Hitchcock movie (and being a big fan of the big H) I found this film to be quite watchable. I know some people on here have slated it but I liked it for what it was - a basic thriller. Certainly not Craven's best ever effort but I would def. watch again.

7/10


The Amityville Horror (Remake)

Firstly, I must admit to being a BIG fan of the original. Secondly I must admit to being put off by the reviews this film has reeived which is why it has been gathering dust still in it's shrink wrap in my crate of (I'm not sure if I should have bought this - films). well, I wasn't dissapointed in this movie in the sense that I expected shit and what I got was well, a semi - turd. It was an ok horror film - they didn't use the ghost girl as much as I would have liked and I particularly dis-liked the dog killing scene.

6.5/10


Lastly I continued with my 'Dead' Series...

Day of The Dead

I love this film, different as it is to the other two. Yes the characters are not likeable - but there again they are not supposed to be...the double disk edition is a cracking DVD set. Really good documentaries featuring Romero and Savini and most of the cast and I found them to be very informative.

10/10


Next up...Land of The Dead, Woman In Black, Lovers Lane, Wedding Crashers, Curse of the Were Rabbit, Polanski's Oliver Twist and Haute Tension.

K-PAX


Due to a very misleading advertising campain, I saw this film in theatres at the relatively young age of 10. The trailers on TV portrayed the film as a comedy, and I bugged my parents until they took me. After seeing the movie, I was blown away. I had no idea what to think. Totally different than anything I had seen before, leaving far to many questions for such a young mind. Needless to say, I loved it. This morning was the first time I'd watched in in probably 2-3 years, and I still think it's one of the greatest films made in the last decade. Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges are both in top form, as a myterious man who may or may not be from another planet, and the psychiatrist that develops a bond with him while trying to decifer his mystery. The supporting cast are near perfect as well, each resident of the mental insitution is incredibly convincing in their own way. The open ending was handled very well, giving lots of evidance to support whatever you believe happened in the end. How this movie failed to recieve at least a nomination in that year's Oscars is beyond me. If you haven't seen this film, run to Wal-Mart RIGHT NOW. The DVD is usually in the bargain bin, pick it up!

9.5/10


PS- Ive read a couple places that this film steals shamelessly from an earlier film called "Man Facing Southeast". The author of the novel that K-PAX was based on, Gene Brewer, claims that any similarity is purely coincidental. So Im wondering, have any of you seen "Man Facing Southeast"? Is it really that similar? I read the plot on IMDB, and it does sound almost identical...
