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

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.
