Even when its dark

Unlike you I've never had a girl ask me to turn the lights off.

[romerojpg]

You sleep with the light on!

You sleep with the light on!

Despite what you've been told I can assure you some people do more in bed than just sleep.

Mirrors: 1/5

Kiefer Sutherland's acting gave me a few lols.

[Markgway]

Orphan **½

Revamp of the Evil Psycho Child formula ticks the boxes but never really pushes the envelope.
Isabelle Furhman is excellent.

The Salute of the Jugger **

Standard post-apocalyptic grunge. Joan Chen is good, but it's hard to care about a 'sport' whose rules and purpose are as obscure at the close as they were at the beginning...

My Bloody Valentine (2009) *

Bloody awful. Best bit: the dopey teen who finds all his friends slaughtered and responds by calling out 'hello' and wandering further into a dark mineshaft. Yes, this is a VERY stupid film.

Not you. Your walls are too thin.

That's the lamest comeback I've read in a while...

and so is your excuse for not playing movies with the sound on then

If you'd just accepted that you lost this round and tried to catch me out next time everything would've been fine, but by continuing to post weak and confusing responses it comes off as a bit sad and desperate... took me a while to figure out what the thin walls was in reference to so I can't imagine many others posters figured it out right away. The aim here is to post funny jabs, so please let it go until you have something witty and/or clever to say.

12 Monkeys: 4/5
I'd never seen this actually but it was a very good movie. Reminded me slightly of Source Code in some ways.

[gasteropod]

Yup when I was watching Source Code I thought that.

[grim_tales]

The opening accordian music at the start wouldnt be out of place in a Professor Layton game on DS (no, really)

[Markgway]

Freeze Frame ***

Unique paranoia thriller about a falsely accused murder suspect who spends ten years documenting his every move on camera to provide him with an alibi for any crime ever committed. Dark, intense, and quite disturbing. Lee Evans is excellent in the lead role.

Braindead aka Dead Alive: 3/5

Bonkers and amazing gore effects, but it just became too mind-numbing to achieve a 'good' rating. 'I kick arse for the Lord!'

Oh, and the beginning was just like the beginning of Operation Condor!

[gasteropod]

The Psychic/Sette note in nero: 3.5/5

On a par with Lizard in a Woman's Skin and Don't Torture a Duckling. I watched The Black Cat last night and found it dreadful, 1/5, Fulci's films vary in quality so much.

Braindead aka Dead Alive: 3/5

Bonkers and amazing gore effects, but it just became too mind-numbing to achieve a 'good' rating. 'I kick arse for the Lord!'

Oh, and the beginning was just like the beginning of Operation Condor!

I pee myself thinking about the 'I kick arse for the Lord!' scene

[Markgway]

'I kick arse for the Lord!'

The Kung Fu Priest was genius. I like to think Peter Jackson based that character on Roy Horan from Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.

Despite all the gore the thing that grossed me out was the pus custard.

[Markgway]

Mirrors: 1/5

Kiefer Sutherland's acting gave me a few lols.

Ah, just watched that. Liked it a bit more than you did. Though I'd only give it **/4.
First third was deadly dull... but it becomes more interesting as the hunt for the nun picks up pace.
I thought Sutherland did OK given the far-fetched material.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the version shown on Channel 4 appears to have been cut in several of the strongest gory scenes.

It's a remake of the Korean film 'Into the Mirror', isn't it?

[Markgway]

It's a remake of the Korean film 'Into the Mirror', isn't it?

Yes, it mentions that in the (end) credits.

[romerojpg]

Crikey I never knew it mentioned it in the credits I guess I was out the door quickly and never saw the credits.

I think thats a good idea for all remakes, mention it in the credits

[Shingster]

Into the Mirror was never that good either.
