Last movie watched...

[Keef Monkey]

Just grudgingly watched How To Train Your Dragon, and am very glad a did. Brilliant film.

Last night we had some friends over for a Halloween double bill of The Blob (1980s remake) and Dawn of the Dead (1978 original).

Both films I'd seen before, but both thoroughly enjoyable. The Blob is surprisingly good (Frank Darabont popped up in the credits as a screenwriter, much to my surprise) and there's some pretty good creature fx, quite reminiscent of John Carpenter's The Thing. Some quality screen deaths too.

Tonight we watched Half Nelson on iPlayer. What a boring, meandering, overrated, pretentious film that was. Have no idea what point it was trying to make, nor I suspect did the film's makers. No discernable narrative and nothing to engage the viewer. Avoid.

Ides of March. A bit Oscar-baity but enjoyable enough.

[Spaceghost]

Flash Gordon.

Perfect, absolutely perfect in every way.

[von Boom]

Watched Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger was brilliant as Joker.

I really like the 'modern' (80s) Blob... it pulls a nice twist early on, and it stands proud amongst other decent-budget 80s films that feature people getting melted or otherwise coming to pieces. (Robocop, The Fly.)

Ides of March. A bit Oscar-baity but enjoyable enough.

Saw that on Friday. Interesting, but a bit predictable... the sort of film one damns with faint praise. Plus the last shot kinda annoyed me. I kept thinking [spoiler]'Don't look at the camera, this isn't 'Avatar'[/spoiler]...' but he did.

John Carpenter's "The Ward".

Fucking shit.

Although Amber Heard is rather stunning. Is that her name? Anyway, she's great, the film is unoriginal, laughable, turgid and boring.

Due Date (Robert Downey Jr) - basically Planes, Trains & Automobiles from the director/makers/whatever of The Hangover. I didn't switch it off so yeah, not bad for a sunday night giggle. Compared to P,T&A it's not so great, but a few bits made me laugh a fair bit despite thinking it was going to annoy me mostly. Couple of good cameos, particularly Danny McBride.

I guess they can say it's not a remake cos there are no trains in the film 

[Tiplodocus]

DEATHWATCH - a World War I spookathon with brave Tommies lost in a spooky trench.  It gives the game away in about teh first minute thereby rendering the whole exercise pointless.  Not that scary either - surely a crime for a horror movie.

[I, Cosh]

Hitman. Shitman, more like.

I would also like to change my review of John Carpenter's The Ward.
