Co-written by Frank Darabont. Nuff' said.

(And he was extremely hilarious talking about it at the New Beverly last month: "I leaned over to Chuck (Russell, director/co-writer) just now and said to him, 'Help me out here, I don't remember how we killed this fuckin' kid'..." )

Brilliant.

I love the third movie. But this is coming from a girl who also loves all the Leprechaun movies.

I love that Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode, though I've always been creeped out by the bit where Willie is on fire. It's pretty disturbing for a family cartoon.

They're all terrible. And I always had a problem with people (anti)hero-worshipping a child killer.

~shrug~

"Oh, fishy, fishy, fissshhhhhh.... that went....wherever I....did goooooo....."



Ahem.

In my opinion, and as hokey as it probably looks now, I still feel the first film was by far the best of the series. It was a budget flick at the time, and most of the 'special effects' look bloody terrible now, but the genuinely surreal nature of the nightmares (long-armed-Freddie included), coupled with the excellent theme (best horror theme since 'Halloween') just enhanced the downright creepiness.

If they can replicate that same surreal edge, and with a decent budget behind it to ensure the FX aren't utter gash, it could be improved no end. I reckon Thornton is a fantastic casting, and I really look forward to seeing what they do with it.

I like Freddie V's Jason best.

Body of Lies trailer

Looks like it could be good.

I do like Jim Carrey, and I love Danny Wallace's book, but I'm not wholly convinced that Yes Man isn't going to be a bit shit.

I'll be doubly gutted if it is. Fingers crossed it ain't.

Diesel: More Riddick In Store - should keep a friend of mine very happy!

Are you friends with Vin Diesel?

Yay! I love Pitch Black, and Chronicles has some good moments - just let down by the silly Necormongers. The game, Escape from Butcher Bay was good too. More Riddick films please.

This was the first one I ever saw. I was eight and I loved it.

What one if it that has the guy in the shower being whipped to death by floating towels. That made me laugh hard as a kid.

For Sostie...



Crank 2

"High Voltage"

I see what they did there.


Can't wait for Death Race, either.

He should rip that sign off the door and stick it to his chest.

Or just stop making sub-par movies that line bargain bins.

Fuck you, Crank's awesome.

EDIT: Sorry, I mean that in the nicest way, of course.

It's ok, I know full well I'm going to get flak for saying it.

I still think he's shite, though.

Really? Because he told me he really likes you.

I'm sure.

If you play the opening scene to the Transporter 2 backwards, he quite clearly says, "I like Glen"... and "Bananaflagsatanbeano" but the point still stands.

That can't be me, then...

Damn, missed the other 'n'.

As in 'nit-picking bastard', right?

I still don't understand how 'Crank 2' is going to work.

Is it a prequel?

He just gets up from the end of Crank and carries on. Seriously.

I obviously misunderstood the end of 'Crank'.

Or underestimated how insane the writer-directors are. I know I did.

Chev's heart beats after he hits the ground, which means he survived the impact (presumably because he's a wizard); that's just science.

And he opens his eyes

And then he makes himself a nice cuppa tea

It's times like this where you're my favorite person, Sean.

Or perhaps because he cushioned the fall by landing on, and bouncing off, a car roof. Not very believeable, but more so than being a wizard. Wizards are wimps, and Chev can kick their ass. Dungeon Siege proved it.

Anyway, why are we speculating/pontificating. The important thing is that Chev is back! This time it's electricity!

Too bloody right you are. At least he isn't a badly animated toy advert!

I reckon it would probably be worth working out how much the crumpling of the roof would reduce the force acting upon Chev. Presumably enough that he doesn't become one with the pavement like that creepy paving slab face in that very bad episode of Doctor Who.

Nah, he's just a badly animated Cockerny Sparra'.

And it makes me proud.

Transporter. Tight butt and big thighs.

I read a review for that somewhere which said it was "an assault on all the senses, especially common" which just makes me want to see it even more if I'm honest.

Heheheh. I see what you done did there. Splendid.

Paul W S Anderson hasn't let me down yet. It's got a pretty good review in the new Empire. "Statham has threatened to become a genuine lead man for a while now - he is the making of Death Race"




Glad someone got it. Didn't want it to come across as some form homoerotic tourettes.

Heehee. Carry On Crank.

"Stop fackin' messin' abaaaht!"

The Brothers Bloom

Second feature film from Rian Johnson, writer-director of 'Brick'. Looks very flash and Ocean's Elevens-y with a great cast. Trailer seems to give too much away but it could be pretty fun.

Hee! That does look fun.

What the hell is this still from the Crank 2 set all about? Of course, I want one.

I sincerely hope in a subsequent shot, he looks like this.

Zack and Miri Make A Porno red band trailer

Love the Glengarry Glen Ross joke.

Also, the Canada-only poster

Only four issues in and the excellent comic Kick-Ass is already in pre-production. From the Stardust writing/directing team, I'm sure it will be toned down - considering the subject matter and graphic violence not a surprise - which will have fanboys frothing.

Saw a trailer for this tonight. It looks like pretty much the usual horror bobbins but I shall be watching purely for the Sutherland factor.

That actually looks really good to me. I don't really get scared by horror films these days. ... but if a trailer has me on the edge of my seat, I say it's worth a watch.... even if all the best bits were in the trailer. ... I think I'll have to check this one out.

Yea, doesn't look too bad. Apparently loosely based on a Korean film. It probably isn't going to be anything too new but I think it looks pretty watchable. I read a review somewhere which said something similar, and also that Mr Sutherland plays the part very well indeed.
