Re: opinions on some upcoming films
 

high tension - bloody good film.

unDead - decent ausie flick.

war of the worlds - original was fab, don't know much about remake

the cave - trailer looks ok, probably end up flopping

dark water - the jap original was good, the trailer for the remake, don't look too bad, couple of decent actors aswell.

domino - not heard of this

the skeleton key - just read synopsis, sounds okish.

the corpse bride - animation not my thing.

didnt like "High Tension"very much....a wannabe spesial slasher..
..."War of the worlds"...I liked the orginale...but I dont hope Spielberg is in one of his sentimental or childish psychosis..

..and "Dark Water"..hmmm maybe people are a little tired of those ghost movies now :confused:

Re: opinions on some upcoming films
 

nothing has made me madder than this.

its not a remake of war of the worlds, its a remake of Independance Day.

I hated the origional ... it was a watered down religious film..

what i WANT to see is the book made into a film faithfully -
turn of the century (last century) England with english actors.

Speilberg has the money ... why the fuck didnt he just do it right .. asshole !

I feel bad for you crazy movie fans, it must ruin a lot of movies for you. :p

I mean I'm more of a fan than most of my friends, I want more than to be entertained for an hour and a half, but my standards aren't ridiculously high... yet. :D

Re: Re: Re: opinions on some upcoming films
 

enjoy that feeling ,,, it IS bliss - believe me ...


but this particular movie .. i feel strongly about it ..
even before i heard about the new version i wrote a thread saying it was the one movie i wish they'd remake properly.

If you read the book you might understand .. the time and setting is what made it special .. and now with the technology available - it could finally be done justice.

I know the origional is a 'classic' but it is just another americanization that was twisted into a vehicle for christianity -
there was nothing like that in the book ...

Havent read the book...you recommend ?..I like Adouls Huxley's "Brave New World" ...think Adouls is brilliant and that "The Doors of Perception"..is good...and strange

:eek:

The only two I am really looking to are The Corpse Bride (huge Burton fan, I even forgive him for that Planet of the Apes remake) and Dark Water. But The Skeleton Key might be interesting.

High Tension- Supposedly edited, but I don't care
Undead- Me like zombies
War of the Worlds- Fuck Tom Cruise
The Cave- Formulaic, I'll still see it
Dark Water- Looks creepy, Jennifer Connelly rocks
Domino- Fuckin' aye, comeback for Mickey Rourke
Skeleton Key- Voodoo is straight-up stupid.
The Corpse Bride- Johnny Depp + Tim Burton = good

can say that again... some great films.

some mixed opinions. ill probibly see them all this summer, might wait for video on skeleton key and dark water, mabey the cave will be good but it might still flopp. as for the others i think that they will all be sucsesful, some more than others( undead and high tension wont do as well as the others in the box office.

I remember the old version on vinyl, and it was about the same but the martians prety much took over the world. Ihope in this version, we all burn to the ground.

H.G. Welles, with an "e". I'm sorry, there's something wrong with me, I'm a fucking perfectionist, I had to correct it. But in all seriousness, Urge is so 100% right. The setting made the book, 20th century London, and when I watch the trailer I just kind of feel like theres something huge missing. And thats because they have Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning starring in a 21st century (and I have to use Urge's comparison here) Independence Day. And yes, Slasherman , the book is highly recommended.

But I liked the looks of Undead and High Tension, and Corpse Bride kind of caught my attention. But Kung, you didn't put Land of the Dead in there. I'm hella looking forward to this one.

P.S. Ralph, I can guarentee you won't see anyone burning with Steven Speilberg directing. You know it's gonna be more of a PG-13 action movie than a horror movie.

High Tension- Id like to see it, looks pretty good

unDead- Never heard of till now, just looked it up and it sounds pretty good!

War of the Words- Looks like it could be decent for a blockbuster effects movie....Ill check it out on DVD

The Cave- Looks semi-decent, once again, Ill wait for DVD

Dark Water- Havnt seen the original, but this looks OK. Might actually catch it in theatres...

Domino- Just looked it up, doesnt look very good.

I put Undead in my Netflix queue though I haven't looked recently for when it will be released. I also heard about Stink of the Flesh recently and think it sounds pretty cool - I love all the new zombie movies coming out! I will probably check out Dark Water because I like Asian horror and the remakes always have me curious. I just read in another thread that High (Haute) Tension is going to be dubbed so although I was really anticipating it now I may wait for the DVD.

i watched high tension a couple of months ago, it is known as switchblade romance here in the uk and without spoiling it for you it is brutal
