The Frighteners (HD DVD, Director's Cut)


Excellent black comedy horror from Peter Jackson (LOTR, King Kong), when he was starting to enter the mainstream, but before he went on to do mega-budget blockbusters.


8/10

Wallace & Gromt - Curse of The Were-Rabbit.
Not as good as everyone made out. Seems ideal at 30mins, but a tad long as a movie. Funny bits though and great lighting. 8/10.

Sin City

Loved it. Looked superb. 9/10.

Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines (HD DVD)


OK, so it's not as good as the classic T2, but it's still an enjoyable Arnie SF action movie.

7/10

Not seen that yet, but want to. I've even watched all 14 episodes of Spaced that I'd never seen before, just in case lol

Is the remastered Cuckoo's Nest new? I have not heard of a remastered version. Mmmmmm. Such a great film though, so is Life Of Brian

28 Weeks Later - surprisingly impressed with this although the director needs to get smacked upside the head for the too-fast-and-jerking camera motion used for most of the attack scenes.

I'd give it a 7 out of 10 - it drops marks for the final 10 seconds which is one of the worst endings to a film, and leaves it far too wide open for another sequel.

Aw, we thought the ending couldn't have happened to a nicer country ;)

That's true but the ending was typical Hollywood, so there's bound to be a third film (28 months anyone?) in the making.

What I don't understand is...

Spoiler: 
How did Robert Carlyle's character survive the carpet bombing? How did he manage to get access to the quarantine areas which contained a VERY contagious and dangerous virus? I know he was a 'caretaker' type but there's no way he'd get such access in a military are.

I reckon

Spoiler: 

He found another under Thames walk way which the American's didn't notice, just like the unprotected/unbarricaded one that the main charactors managed to get out of.
The incompetence of the Americans was demonstrated by them putting everyone into a dark underground carpark and forgetting to lock the back doors.
Getting everyone out onto a rooftop where the only access (stairs) can be protected would have been much more sensible.
