Shaun Of The Dead.. which was 'quite' funny and well made, but not quite worth the fuss somehow
ska invita
back on the other side
i just watched that! (S of the D).
I think theres a bit of a North London gore scene, where layabouts make lots of crappy gore flicks with there mates, that rarely see the light of day; and Shaun of the Dead taps into that whole scene. I reckon Simon whatshisfacewhoplaysShaun must know some of them.
There's one of these N london gore flicks that did quite well recently (on video at least), its got Danny Filth in it (I think he's in a goth band), and was a bit overlong but good for a London budget movie anyway. It might be called Craddle of Fear???. You might find it in your video shop (I did!).
Shaun of the Dead was like a strectched out episode of Spaced... zombies look great, effects are good - odd joke is funny - its not Hollywood, but for a little London film its fun.
...I might get that Dawn of the Dead remake out soon...anyone seen that?

The Day After Tomorrow.
Mate at work told me it was one of the worst films he'd ever seen, and I wish I'd listened to him.
Then drifted off to the land of Nod to the delights of John Carpenters' Ghosts of Mars on Channel 4.
Awful.
Should have gone to the pub, on both counts.

I also saw the day after tomorrow, although not at the same house.
Thought it was crap but the sfx were good. I find myself saying that about a lot of films recently. The producers seem to spend more time and effort on the fx than on the story. or maybe that's just the type of films I watch.

I watched an old movie called 'Stars Look Down' starring Vanessa Redgrave's father (can't remember the clart's first name).
Its about a working class Geordie lad who gets off to University and returns home, somewhat culturally estranged from the local populace, to lead the Coal Miners in revolt against mine owners.
I don't know if I'd recommend it or not, but its interesting to have in your collection and adds to your street cred for sure.

Bowling for Columbine... I was so infuriated when Michael told the story of the 6 year old boy who shot another 6 year old girl!
The reason why it all happened (for those who don't know): The boys mother was having to work two jobs as part of a gvmt. welfare 'scheme' (in shopping malls for rich people, for minimum wage, and barely seeing her son). She couldn't afford to pay her rent and was being evicted when she asked her brother to look after her son for a bit till she got another place to live (she didn't want to take her son from school in the middle of term). So, somehow, while staying at his uncle's, the boy finds a gun, takes it to school and kills little girl...
As for Charlton Heston: completely gaga, living in another planet. 'I have a God given right to have a loaded gun in my house!' It's like saying 'I have the right to cut my foot off'... How stupid can people be?

finally saw Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind last night, and was blown away. any film that can be THAT brilliant and inventive and moving even with WInslet and Carrey in it is excellent indeed.

Carey is so underated, I really hope he leaves all that wacky comedy bollocks behind and concentrates on more serious roles. The Truman Show to some extent but more so his monumental performance as Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon show what he's capable of. Haven't seen ESOTSM yet but its in pole position on my dvd list.
Nearly got out "Eternal Sunshine" the other day but was put off by the Winslet/Carrey combination. So I'm glad to hear it's worth a viewing.
Agree 100% with you about Carrey's performance in Man on the Moon - just perfect.
The kid has just given me Shrek 2 to watch. Can't wait!

Sean of the Dead
and I agree with Dub thats it was a bit of a disapointment. What was the point of most of those characters, so much talent around and one line each Tamsin Grieg, Reece Sheersmith, Matt Lucas etc
Some very funny moments, but not enough to justify the hype. Is it because I'm completely out of sync with mainstream taste or do we have a habit of being so relieved that the british film industry has come up with a half decent film we have to talk it up far beyond its worth? I'm thinking Lock Stock and Fully Monty among others.

Agreed, I'm not that keen on his stupid comedy, other than The Mask (which I think is pretty cool) but I love the Truman Show, an utter masterpiece.
I've actually got ESOTSM - I bought it in the summer and keep forgetting to watch it
must remember to do so later.Last night I watched the Bourne Supremacy, which was good, except it went on a bit towards the end. Sometimes it felt that it just kept on doing the same thing but in different locations. Better than some things in that vein like Paycheck though (Affleck load of wank).
Poi E - I bought the Football Factory yesterday, haven't watched it yet, but some of the reviews I read online said it was really crud. Is it really that good?
