Same, and it's weird, because usually in a trilogy, the first is the best.
I need to revisit them too. I have the trilogy collection on Blu-ray, and the first time I got them a few summers ago I literally watched one every night for weeks on end. I have seen those films so much it's insane.
If you are having problems with the discs skipping, they must be bad copies, @Creasy47.
Yeah, they're bad copies, but like an idiot, I bought them and didn't get around to watching them for a good while, so there really isn't much I could do.
Curse Of Chucky
His look might have softened, but his attitude hasn't. Yep, this marks the return of Chucky, 9 years after the last film. The kills weren't the most inventive, but there were a fair number of tense moments, most notably the dinner table scene. I've seen some complaints with the CGI used throughout the film, I didn't have a problem with it. Fiona Douriff made an engaging protagonist, so I was saddened to see how she ended up. The last time I felt like that was following Jenna's death in the F13 reboot. Talking or reboots, or remakes, how nice it was to watch this film as a sequel, and see references to the previous films. This must now be the only horror series to have the original actor (albeit voice actor in this case), still be playing the antagonist.
Also, what about that post credits scene? I caught on to where it was going during the phone call. It was a nice touch. You don't need to see the unrated version, as the standard DVD version has it too.
It's been some time since I've watched any of the previous films, mainly because this isn't my favourite series of horror films. So i'm going to rank the series based on what I remember, but I do plan on buying the other films, so will re rank the films at a later date.
1. Child's Play (1988)
2. Curse Of Chucky (2013)
3. Child's Play 2 (1990)
4. Child's Play 3 (1991)
----
5. Bride Of Chucky (1998)
6. Seed Of Chucky (2004)
I agree about Dourif being a great guy for sticking to this series. Bradley would reportedly have stayed on for Hellraiser Revelations but decided against it when he saw the ridiculous shooting schedule. ;-) He (and Englund) still hold the record for most appearances but Dourif seems to beating them in number of years.
Dimi and Major, you might be happy to hear, then, that Clive Barker is scripting a 'Hellraiser' reboot with Bradley set to return. Barker also stated that he won't be using any CGI, as he still believes in practical effects. That's what makes me interested in the film. But, I know that was the hope for the prequel to 'The Thing,' and in the end, they ended up adding a lot of CGI to it, even though a majority of it was filmed with practical effects.
Though at least Bradley is returning, I can't imagine a Hellraiser film with his calm yet sinister tones.
Did you see 'Revelations'? It was on Netflix Instant and I just skipped through to the Cenobyte parts. It was embarassing.
And that's exactly what it was. Either way, give it a shot, but I really wouldn't recommend you purchasing it. Pinhead and the Cenobytes don't even really appear (from what I recall) in the film until the last few minutes, and their appearances are lackluster. Whoever starred as Pinhead is nothing in comparison to Bradley.
starring Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maria Bello
picked up from wikipedia :
Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman), a deeply religious man who runs a struggling carpentry business, attends a Thanksgiving dinner with his family at the house of their neighbors, the Birches. After dinner, the families' young daughters, Anna Dover and Joy Birch, go missing. After a police hunt, an RV that had been parked in the neighborhood is found outside a gas station next to a wooded area. When Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) confronts Alex Jones (Paul Dano), the RV's driver, Jones tries to speed away but crashes into the trees...
A great thriller reminding the real life and everyday danger in these cases of kidnapping. Excellent acting, great plot and a superb cinematography (Roger Deakins)
I've been keen to watch this movie since its release and I like it a lot.
It's full of disfunctional characters, brillantly acted and has an engaging story. The music is good too and I was more than pleased by hearing "Girl from north country" by Dylan and Cash.
Even if it has a "happy" ending, it's not a conventional romantic comedy, I think.
I have been meaning to catch this.
Yeah, Frank Miller wrote Batman brilliantly in that book, especially in his inner monologues. If you haven't checked the graphic novel out out, pick it up.
I don't really know what I went into this film thinking. I knew I wanted it to be on the level of the first, improve on the shortcomings of the second, and ultimately present me with something interesting and new for the series. Having finished the film, I am shocked at just how much my dreams came true, and how enamored I am with it. As I was watching it, there were sections that I couldn't believe were in a Marvel/Iron Man film, but it all completely worked and I embraced the ballsiness of the film. The film was able to take what worked in #1, add those elements in, discard what failed in #2, and supplied so much great stuff that is new to this third film that I was excited to see unleashed. Like Bruce in The Dark Knight Rises, Tony got a massive amount of time to shine sans suit, as did Rhodes and Pepper, finally, and the film adds depth to Stark as a man, something I feel #2 missed out on. This film made me sit on the edge of my seat, loudly cheer, laugh my butt off, shout in anger (at the bad guys that is), and worry as I was shocked at what was unraveling before me. If a film can make me experience an eclectic set of feelings like that in just over two hours, it has achieved a lot. I didn't read up on this film or follow the post release reviews of it, so I went in completely blind and was totally thrilled with everything I saw, start to finish. It never lost a step, and provided a thrilling spectacle that was matched with a compelling character study into Tony, something I was overjoyed to see done so well. I think this very well may be my favorite Iron Man film yet, and favorite film of all the Marvel universe movies released so far. Now more than ever, I am energized and excited to see what comes after this beauty.
Anyway, today I watched
Gravity
Let me begin with a story:
Dimi - I want to go see Gravity.
Dimi's girlfriend - Is it good?
Dimi - According to @Sandy it really is!
Dimi's girlfriend - Who's Sandy?
[Cut five minutes of explanation, including a short reminder that I spend a lot of time on a certain James Bond forum...]
Dimi's girlfriend - Well, if you want to see it that much...
[Cut the time to drive to the cinema complex, buy tickets, watch the film... Roll credits.]
Dimi - I *LOVE* this film!
Dimi's girlfriend - Me too!! Sandy was right!
So, there you have it. Though not scientifically accurate for the full 100 %, this is a film that appeals both to me as a film fan and me as a scientist. Great stuff. I love the visuals, the sound, the acting... Never was too big a fan of Sandra Bullock but she really pulled it off! Tension was built to perfection. Great film.
One of my favourite horror films, and my favourite horror film from the 1990's. The inclusion of messrs Hodder, Todd and Englund never fails to bring a smile to my face.
After reading an article the other day about really good French horror films, I decided to tip my toes in with this film: a French woman, after experiencing the tragic loss of her son, drives home one night and hits a boy with her car - he survives, but after explaining to her that he walked in on a man robbing his house, she takes him home with her, finding it necessary to protect him because in a way, he reminds her of her lost son.
It's a mixed bag of a film: sad, tragic, gory, slight home invasion, horror, mystery, and it most certainly contains moments that will make you angry. Overall, it was a good film held together by a few actors who had some superb acting skills.
Now I need to get my hands on both 'Martyrs' and 'Frontiere(s).'
