GarethRDR Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Very enjoyable horror comedy from New Zealand. Sharp, witty script and a great story. Some reviews and stuff. Alternately hilarious, gross, and simply diverting, Housebound is the rare horror-comedy that delivers on both fronts. Watched this last night, terrific stuff. The most hilarious use of a laundry basket I've ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Watched Stonehearst Asylum last night - a thoroughly enjoyable yarn!Bascially, a young doctor heads to a remote Asylum in 1899 to further his education only to find things to not be what they seem.Very good cast, with Ben Kingsley, Michael Caine, David Thewlis, Kate Beckinsale and Jim Sturgess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Constant talk of it coming back, not sure if it's snipes with his money troubles and floundering career but it's not just films, I've seen rumours of TV shows and comics too, I think the demand is there, I'd certainly be up for no 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2015 Just watched the debut by Ridley Scott "The Duellists" for the first time. Basically Keith Carradine & Harvey Keitel fighting each other throughout the Napoleonic wars.Very authentic feeling film made even more interesting that it's based on a true story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2015 DC is very keen to keep it's cinematic and TV world's separate, unlike Marvel. Although saying that whilst Marvel's stuff is in the same universe, they've remained very very separate beyond some mythos and some very flimsy minor window dressing.

I turned it off after about 20 minutes just couldn't get into it ... Maybe i just wasn't in the mood and should have given it another play but I deleted it instead ...

villa4europe Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Was it senior speilbergo who said recently they are just the westerns of our time? Maybe not far wrong, westerners are a genre that does absolutely nothing for me and yet dominated cinema for 20-30 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2015 The Martian is the best nerdy film ever. It gets increasingly silly and Watney is a slightly irritating character and the humour is destined to be Marmite but that's a bloody good bit of film making. It's got all the hallmarks of a Ridley Scott movie, looks fantastic and has brilliant sound (bizarrely reminiscent of Alien at times) but it's a supremely confident and rounded movie that plays like a science geek watched Gravity and said 'Pfft, I can do something more interesting than that' and knocked up a pulpy science fiction yarn that tapped into near future yearning and the wider Mars zeitgeist and mashed that into a treatise on how to use really boring science to survive in a place eminently hostile to life.There's some nonsense in there (the opening 'event'can't happen) and it does get silly, including one of the oddest Deus Ex Machina you'll find in movies this decade at least,, but it's a cracking film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
