Last movie watched...

Total Recall

New one. Bit pointless really. Nice Blade-Runnerish future city design.
Even tho got a soft spot for Col himself, really start to miss Arnie's atrocious acting, especially the way he pronounces 'Hauser' & 'Cohagen'

thank you for confirming my impression.  I can't see the point of remaking a movie as good as Total Recall

[radiator]

The bit in The Hunger Games where the bloke camouflages his face when he is wounded is utterly bizarre and hilarious. Looks like something from The Mighty Boosh. Silliest scene in a big budget mainstream film I've seen in a while.

Sergio Corbucci's Django (1966).
Was shown on some random Freeview channel the other night, and the print was (gloriously) knackered, and practically unwatchable in places!, but it was a more enjoyable viewing experience than Tarantino's latest effort.

[Buttonman]

Laugh free rom-com The Switch before a trip to blitz on Waterloo Road - not the BBC one.

Saw Iron Man 3 in a nearly empty cinema. It was certainly better than number 2.

Same here. I looked around and behind me and saw only one other person. I certainly enjoyed the film as well.

On television, I also watched.....

Arrow A billionaires son gets shipwrecked on island for five years, and get rescued, comes becomes a hooded vigilante. A bit like Batman. It's intriguing viewing.

Anaconda Two: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid. A company representative leads a team of scientists through the jungles of Borneo for a rare plant that only blooms once every seven years. They need it to produce a revolutionary new drug, that will make them rich. They encounter a tangle of anacondas bigger, faster and smarter than the regular kind. I watched it four times.

Species. A government laboratory combine alien dna with human and she escapes. They send a team of people after her. I watched it three times.

Poltergeist A innocent family go through hell, when a seemly friendly spirit turns deadly. I watched it twice.

You know what, i cant honestly remember the last time i watched Poltergeist, bit of a fave - back in the day.

I do recall catching the trailer for it in the cinema, and confidently proclaiming that this was Speilberg's lastest, only to feel a bit daft when Tobe Hoopers name came up as the director.
I wasnt that wrong, as it turned out,

Your right, Steven Spielberg was one of the producers.

Film reminds me in parts of E.T. the Extra Terrestrial & Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Because of the lighting used.

They should do a remake of this film. With todays special effects, it would be a hit.

They re made The Evil Dead so I guess Poltergeist   is fit for gutting too.

Saw poltergeist myself recently and it's still pretty good - the bit with the mirror scared me something silly as a kid. Funny how stuff goes over your head tho as I had not remembered them smoking pot!

Also, it's good Star Wars toy porn too - that little lad had everything, lucky bugger!

Yeah, I saw it again recently and the pot-smoking and fab Star Wars collection were the two bits that leapt out at me, having had no recollection of either from numerous viewings in the '80s (I always thought Elliot had the best SW gear).  Also, JoBeth William's pants, but those I do remember.

The Secret of Kells.  Bloody hell that was good.  How has it taken me so long to get around to watching this beautiful thing?  The kids loved it too, had their total attention the whole way through.

Judge Minty.  I confess, I was looking forward to this, but I was expecting a much more visually modest version of roughly the first 10 minutes... the original strip and a few shots of the Cursed Earth with boarders as make-up free muties, maybe. I had no idea the SFX would be so extensive and so bloody good, and no concept of how long and how involving the story would be. An incredible achievement, and a very enjoyable film.  Thanks a million, everybody!

Where did you watch Judge Minty, TB, if you don't mind me saying? (I wanna watch it too!  )

[judgefloyd]

Thryllseeker, I'm assuming you enjoyed Anaconda 2?

Just got a succinct review of  the new Total Recall.  It reads:

Despite the presence of smoking hotties, new Total Recall = absolute poo
