What I loved about this was how realistic the fights and consequent break-up was

Especially when you know it involves Christopher Lee and deals with pagan rituals AND is essentially part musical. BUT wow, what a pleasant surprise. Not only is it NOT a B-film (the acting is all A-list) but it's a very intelligent and very well directed mystery-thriller with just a slight dash of horror. And the music is actually very pleasing and doesn't distract from the experience at all, on the contrary. Apparently what I saw was a very shortened, "butchered" version (at least according to the extras) but I thought it was perfect the way it was (I imagine the original version did drag on a bit). For anyone who has heard of it and had the same misgivings as I did, hurry up and see it, it really is a great film.

Have no idea what they did in the remake but I have no intention of watching it (absolutely cannot stand Cage).
I love this film! It totally took me by surprise in every way and I've never seen anything else quite like it. Like you, I haven't seen the remake with Nicholas Cage and I know it sucks .. I guess it was just milking the cash cow. This film still holds up great and certainly doesn't need a remake to make it more valid.

Sadly, I think the remake is giving this fine film a bad rep. Either way, one of my favourites. Thanks for reminding me, gonna have to show it to some friends one of these days

Trent: So, what'd you think of that Dorothy girl?
Mike: The whole Judy Garland thing kinda turned me on. Does that make me some kind of ***?
Trent: No, baby, you're money.

Men Who Stare At Goats. I would rather stare at a goat too than watch this again.

A Brit Horror flick that has gotten rave reviews recently got me all worked up and I finally managed to get hold of it today. Damn I am so angry.

The premise of a soon to be wed couple spending an idyllic weekend in the country that is shattered by the locals through violence had immense potential regarding morality and a well written, concise take on society's lawlessness. Unfortunately it was reduced to a class war where the working class are foul, uncouth murdering scum and middle class, law-abiding citizens are the last bastions of civility. Such a shame as the direction and tension is very well realised but it came across as a thinly veiled attempt to pigeon hole sections of society that it made me damn angry. No wonder the Daily Mail gave it 5 out of 5. That should have been pointer enough really.

I'm glad I only spent £3 on it. A very big missed opportunity.

500 Days Of Summer

Heart warming, funny, explores elements of life I could relate to. Good film, well worth a watch.

^ Really want to see this, have heard mixed opinions of it including that it really wasn't worth watching. But since you suggest otherwise... I shall check it out!
