FullAuto Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I'd just like to point out that for some reason, Aralez mentions "28 Days" in his review of the remake of Dawn of the Dead. I thought it was an ok film, and Sandra Bullock performed competently and while perhaps it sometimes made little of the very serious subject of addiction, it was an ok film.Unless, of course, he meant "28 Days Later" which ruled with an iron fist. I never thought opinions could be wrong until someone said he didn't like that film. He was just intimidated by the greatness, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaughter Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 He probably meant "28 days later". It's got very nice tension in it, but the zombie attack scenes are bad with a capital B! Camera jumping here and there making it impossible to see what is in fact happening. Surely not a class A movie, but a good try that is better than Dawn of the Dead in many ways - just not the actual action scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 You can make out what is happening. They are a little TOO jerky though. And more effective than DotD's rock-solid "Oh look, some undead. How unpleasant." camera shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Agree with your review of Sin City 100%, Slaughter. Cracking film. Went to see it again the other day, it was just as good the second time, if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Good to hear . I'll have to see it again soon too, to pick up on the details. You never get all of them the first time through when watching a movie like this. Did you read the comic? How about the others I mention, like Preacher and Spawn?

FullAuto Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I've got all three of Miller's graphic novels, they kick massive amounts of arse. Just finished my Preacher collection, another great series. Garth Ennis is God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Then I'll have to read them too! Did you know there are two more Sin CIty movies in production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I do now. Two more eh? I hope they maintain the quality, that's all. If Miller stays on board, though, and if Rodriguez keeps directing...hoo, boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Swish. I shall look forward to those. Perhaps someone should show Lucas how to make a trilogy that doesn't totally piss on good filmmaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaughter Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Watched Amadeus this Sunday. Didn't expect much, but was very pleasantly surprised! Seeing Mozart as this disgustingly spoiled child was quite amusing, and the acting was ace all the way. In addition the movie is full of brilliant music! Well worth watching!

Accounting Troll Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 It's been a few years since I saw it, but I recall that I highly enjoyed it. I'm recommending Tim Burton's Corpse Bride to anybody who has seen, and liked The Nightmare Before Christmas. And I don't much like 28 days later because they changed the storyline halfway through. They started off with the premise that the infection had spread across the world, but then changed it after filming the London scenes to saying that it had been contained within mainland Britain. If it had been contained, the survivors in London would have picked up radio messages from France and tried to escape by sea rather than risk the dangerous trip north. And the characters they encountered would also have known that the infection had been contained, so they would have behaved differently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimli Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Haha, I remember watching Amadeus in the high school music class. We watched it for the length of 7 classes (though it would only really take two). And while I don't remember much anymore, yes the spoiled Mozart was quite amusing. The Nightmare before Christmas was fun as well, though I felt it was a bit short, but I would still recommend it. In the very least it deserves it because it's not "yet another Hollywood movie which is basically the same movie you have already watched but with different actors".
