I've not seen the original, so I can't join in the argument about it being awful and how, back in my day, films weren't all about effects (etc. etc.), but I did enjoy this new version immensely. The special effects were quite brilliant and quite a bit of the acting was top notch (I'm particularly impressed with Sam Worthington - he seems to have risen from nowhere to take three huge roles in just two years). Whilst short, the swordplay sequences were very good - it almost makes me wish I could dance like that! |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Shrek Ever After Took the kids to the cinema to see this. Excelent as usual and they pulled out all the stops for the CGI and look of the film. It had a darker and more cinematic feel and was hugely entertaining-not just for the kids! Can't believe its the last one tho! |

Blog Entries: 3 | Re: What was the last movie you saw? Last night: Constantine. A bit daft, but I suppose it's to be expected from a comic book adaptation. The visuals were rather good, and I liked the way Satan was depicted - something of a strange fellow, with a bad temper if annoyed, rather than a continuously evil being. This morning: Death Race 2000 (the original, not the remake from a few years back). A live-action Wacky Races! Nowhere near as shocking as the title implies, and quite tame by today's standards. I quite enjoyed it. This afternoon: Resident Evil: Apocalypse. The second RE film. A lot better than the first (in the few years between the two films, effects improved significantly). I'm not really a fan of zombie games or films, but I thought it was good. However, the tension you usually feel with zombie films (and which I did feel a bit in the first) just wasn't there. Probably my fault for looking on IMDB at who is in the third film... |

Blog Entries: 3 | Re: What was the last movie you saw? Last night: Mission to Mars. An old one that I've seen before, but I still enjoyed it. A few bits that probably aren't totally scientifically correct, but it's a decent film (apart from the very end. Endings like that make me vomit...). Just finished: Resident Evil 3. Whilst maybe not as good as the second, it's still a lot better than the first and I did like it; I haven't seen enough post-apocalyptic world films (and even fewer that don't deal with zompocalypse). Whilst it's starting to get dafter (a few hundred Milla Jovovich's isn't necessary a bad thing, it's just a rather silly plot device), with some seriously questionable traits displayed by Alice (I'm sorry, where did this whole psychic power come from?!), I don't see it as a film to take too seriously - as the old simile goes, it's satisfying like a McDonald's is satisfying; it fills the gap. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Inception. Yeah, the hype? I'm in on it. I was actually expecting every hyped up review to be true. I wasn't disappointed. There was only 1 person I encountered before I saw the movie that didn't like it. Oh poor confused soul... lol. j/k I like the movie a lot. I don't know if I love it just yet, but I definitely enjoyed every minute of it. Almost 3 hours and not once did it feel "too long". This is a great movie. I highly recommend it. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Inception - What an awesome movie, very complex and well explained. The ending worked for me despite the people saying it was not that great. |

| Flaming Poltergeist  | Re: What was the last movie you saw? All alone in the house, so I watched Paranormal Activity. The second time I've seen it; if this has been the first, I think I'd be a bit more edgy. Finally a well made horror film! Someone finally understands that less is more, and that building an atmosphere really works. The repetitive nature of it, returning to the bedroom at night, really puts you on edge, because you can't help looking for things after a while. But the more stuff that does happen, the more you dread returning the bedroom for another night! Definitely needs to be watched in the dark with no interruptions on the first viewing. You need to get the proper effect, 'cos it's a good'un. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Must see Toy Story 3... But, funnily enough, I just saw Paranormal Activity! For the first time. In the dark. No interruptions. Freaky. Was very, very good. The night footage was more than effective and I'll re-affirm my longstanding allegiance to the ideal of Less-Is-More. |
