So on went Eaters...</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/a75-R4xyMBM" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Despite the dreaded name Uwe Boll being bandied about at the begining (I dont think he had anything to do with the actual making of this), I was really looking forward to this.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Unfortunately, after 10 minutes I could see my wife in my peripheral vision growing twitchy and bored, and so Eaters was sacrificed and instead we settled on Burke & Hare.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UE7KvAyVnbw" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">John Landis? Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis? Doing an Ealing comedy? And about body-snatching too. This should be fantastic I thought to myself. It's a who's-who of British comedy and acting talent, with lamentable Scottish accents thrown in for good measure, that seems to fall short.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">There are some fairly funny moments, and some cracking performances - Tim Curry and Tom Wilkinson spark off each other brilliantly - but I found the movie as a whole didn't really gel for me. The romantic sub-plot seemed tacked on and none of it was laugh-out loud funny.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">People I've spoken to, who have watched it, have said they had enjoyed it, so maybe it's just me, but I was hoping for so much more from this.</div><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Never mind, I'll shall watch Eaters on my own today when everyone goes out.</span></div>Doctor_Cyclopshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02728434942405482563noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006969851369973574.post-44709060769376687052011-06-16T01:13:00.003+01:002011-06-16T01:21:22.925+01:00Horror - Straw Poll<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div>Right a serious one this time, I want your opinions.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">My 8 year old son keeps asking to watch my DVDs. You know the ones. The ones with 18 or R on the spine, and I keep saying "When you're older"</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now I know there's certain films, that I'll no way let him watch yet, but then again there's certain films that I'm sure I watched when I was around his age.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I first watched An American Werewolf on pirate video when I was around 10, and I remember creeping downstairs and sitting on the cold hall floor watching Salem's Lot through a crack in the door when I was 9.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Obviously, these movies terrified me, but also instilled in me a lifelong love of horror.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">He has already watched some early black&white Hammers (Quatermass etc.), and a few B monster movies. but nothing scary. </div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The question is, how much is too much too young? I don't want to scar him, or give give lifelong nightmares or neurosis' that he'll never get over (I'm not a total monster). But then again I don't want him to come to films too late to get a passion for them - a passion that can only be gotten by watching movies early on in life.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I know he's not ready for The Thing, but maybe he is for Jaws?</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">No to Hostel, but maybe yes to The Monster Squad?</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I know it's all subjective. What you may let your child watch, I wouldn't and vice-versa. But I'm hoping to get a few replies here (whether you have children or not) on what you feel is appropriate viewing for an 8 year old - and don't say 'I'd let him watch A Serbian Film', I want serious answers.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm not asking for parenting advice, just interested in people's opiinions.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

A post-apocalyptic vampire thriller, that reminded me of a mix of Zombieland (minus the jokes), The Road and Near Dark.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a world that has been overrun by a vampire epidemic, a rogue hunter named simply Mister, takes an orphaned boy on a road trip to New Eden - a town in Canada that is rumoured to be 'vamp free'. On the way they meet an assortment of rag-tag characters including 'Plucky Teen Girl Who Takes No Crap', 'Am I The Only Black Guy To Survive This Shit?' and 'I May Be An Elderly Nun But I Was Once The Romantic Lead In Top Gun You Know!' Yes, that is Kelly McGillis! </div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAfxe1p28qTlWS5KMlPCG-Iq39vA0D7QJTJZFbs-_lBsuHUOOzwhZwPtBr5okpHb4nrTe6HtGN9B7Fm32PxBp4AIsKGZAUMwesfX8KtxAxu7jWx8xsp1z_D21FY7VU0hL7Rhc29Nf4wEwy/s1600/stakeland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAfxe1p28qTlWS5KMlPCG-Iq39vA0D7QJTJZFbs-_lBsuHUOOzwhZwPtBr5okpHb4nrTe6HtGN9B7Fm32PxBp4AIsKGZAUMwesfX8KtxAxu7jWx8xsp1z_D21FY7VU0hL7Rhc29Nf4wEwy/s1600/stakeland.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It has a bleak atmosphere that runs throughout the film, as though the futility of carrying on surviving is simply not worth the effort. That's a good thing. There's no shoe-gazing moody teens that you want to slap. There's no sexy vamps with perfect bodies. And there certainly seems as though there's no redemption for any of the characters seeking it. Everyone seems to know what is unspoken - that they're all screwed - but they are simply 'getting on with things'.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Which, all in all, made this movie a refreshing change from the toothless vampire flicks that seem to be the accepted norm these days.</div><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zNC2HwAaWWE" width="560"></iframe></span></div>Doctor_Cyclopshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02728434942405482563noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006969851369973574.post-36858187916779637362011-05-29T07:46:00.002+01:002011-05-29T08:09:54.358+01:00Horror - A Couple More Trailers<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Vampyr.<br />

If he fails, the movie fails, if he delivers then so does the film.

All the usual dysfunctional, amoral characters are there, from the blind toy collector Lomax, hook-handed clown Mr Jelly, derranged nurse Joy, to the best (in my opinion) characters the serial-killer obssesed David Sowerbutts and his mother.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It's a new character that was the most interesting though, the Silent Singer,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYFkqlWCRLVgxs_UIDi8cctrenLR_PpyZrKgnRpIJtZ3043esZigkST0aDEQx4IN7AQn72gTl9vOj1AefVMxwi0D6AS-ontXf5CanXL5yiHUtzmgVGasiEy1db9LCGPgTaRgrhbKHNbrLV/s1600/silent_biog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYFkqlWCRLVgxs_UIDi8cctrenLR_PpyZrKgnRpIJtZ3043esZigkST0aDEQx4IN7AQn72gTl9vOj1AefVMxwi0D6AS-ontXf5CanXL5yiHUtzmgVGasiEy1db9LCGPgTaRgrhbKHNbrLV/s320/silent_biog.jpg" width="201" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Seen only by Shearsmith's librarian character (with an anguished plea of "Not now, Silent Singer!") he/she moves about jerkily singing into a walking stick, as you guessed, silently.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">There's more than a touch of <a href="http://drcyclopshorror.blogspot.com/2011/01/horror-lynch.html">David Lynch</a> at work here. The (presumably) backwards filmed movements and menacing air of the Silent Singer reminded me of Bob in Twin Peaks. Just something dangerous only glimpsed from the corner of your eye, and then it's gone.</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Some of it was a little over the top, but that's not a legitimate criticism of the guys who brought the visceral humour of The League of Gentlemen to the screen, it's meant to be outlandish.</div><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Overall, a decent start to the series. A little bit of humour and horror to fill an otherwise bland Thursday evening.</span><br />

I can only apologise dear follower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been catching up on plenty of movies though. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Night of the Demons (remake) - poor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">13 Hrs - abominable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Burke and Hare - could've been so much better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Night of the Eagle - fantastic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Biutiful - depressing but couldn't tear my eyes away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I Come With The Rain - disjointed and pretentious but very watchable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ringu Saishusho (not a movie, but a Ring inspired TV series) - cheap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">13 Assasins - exciting and action packed (I like Miike)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">There you go, <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">8</span> reviews in less than a minute.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now, back to business.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now the hard part - painting it so it looks realistic....</span><br />
