it has good parts :)
Trying too hard might be what I was annoyed with, I honestly cant remember (I could check my func review but cant be arsed right now).
Btw, for those that like The Others, The Innocents is worth a watch. I prefer Others but your mileage may vary. Innocents definitely looks classier and is a very good film.

Haha

Speaking of 80s slasher crap, anyone seen C.H.U.D.? Its been on my wanted list for a while but I can't find it anywhere. Is it any good?

That's where I saw it.
Good cheesy horror vibe, really bad d�nouement (awful foreign accent mark added for czg's sake.)

Saw this movie tonight, was pretty damn beautiful. I'm not generally one for artsy foreign movies about the growing pains of a young girl, but I must say this was excellent.
Westerners have no problems compared to little Iranian girls =/

Waltz with Bashir makes a good companion piece even though they are nothing alike.
Waltz With Bashir is fucking amazing. Incredible concept too.
The Battle of Algiers is a must watch for everyone btw. Won't real off a load of stuff about it just read the wikipedia article :)

Salvatore Giuliano would probably make a good one with Algiers. Might try it :)

I think Tronyn mentioned this earlier, good film for sure and I dont think I'll forget that chainsaw scene in a hurry.

Hell Yeah

I'd cry too. jesus. that's a totally different view of the south - I don't imagine it that way now, but maybe in the 30s or something. anyway john hawkes and jennifer lawrence led an amazing cast. it was convincing, however real it might or might not be.

its based on a book from someone who lives in the Ozarks. I'd say there's a good chance it's happening right now.

haha, it was pretty good I thought. Really got the 80's vibe just right, and there are so many references and plain rips from Predator that you just give up trying to take it too seriously after the first 30 minutes or so, which works out in its favour I think ;)
Lead guy wasn't terribly good as the "Arnie type" and his gravel voice sounded very forced, but the other cast members were pretty good.
Nice fighting, etc.
Basicly, its a gung-ho, 80's action film, don't watch it expecting anything more!

Predators.

Rubbish on many levels. Easily could have been good with an ounce of coherence. But wasn't. IMo.

would have ruined it for me. I think it ended as was hinted at throughout the movie.
