THE GREY

 

Liam Neeson in a horror/thriller about plane-crash survivors being hunted by a pack of wolves. Standard story-line, but the best film I've seen all year by some margin. Watch it.

 

Is that cinema or sky ?

Blue-ray (from Blockbusters) :) Awesome film. The plane-crash sequence is unbelievable, and the ending is epic...

I know I'm missing the point, but this would just annoy me as my OCD would make me keep thinking, "but wolves would never hunt people". :rolleyes:

Not if you're sitting in your lounge watching a film, maybe. But if you're plane crashed in the far Northern Hemisphere (during winter) then I'm guessing - if they'd explored all the smaller and easier to catch prey - you'd be fair game.

I'm no wolf expert, but I've read a bit about them and as far as I know, they will never attack humans as prey. The only exceptions might be the very sick or badly injured, or young children. I know it's only a film though and will keep taking the pills. :)

"Metamorphosis" (1990)

[media=]

[/media]

 

Shameless low-budget Italian made ripoff of David Cronenberg's remake of "The Fly," in which a university genetecist makes the poor decision to test his anti-aging serum on himself. Naturally, he slowly de-volves into a shambling, homicidal something-or-other.

 

This flick borrows virtually everything from "The Fly," right down to the tragic romance angle. It is glacially paced, poorly acted, and the "reveal" of the scientist's final "de-evolutionized" form is frickin laughable.

 

Some of you might remember seeing the VHS box for this one in video stores back in the day -- it had a button on the front which made the guy's eyes light up red (or perhaps it was green, I forget) when you pushed it. That was a better special effect than anything in the actual movie.

Final verdict: Avoid!!!

This evening with the young'ins:

"The Shaggy Dog" (2006)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XU5NidGJ5w

21st Century update of the Disney classic, with Tim Allen as a dog-hating D.A. who gets in touch with his canine side after a bite from a mystic pooch. A pre-"Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. (who probably wishes he could strike this from his resume) is the animal-testing bad guy.

Fun for kids, relatively painless for their parents.

"Rest Stop" (2006)

[media=]

[/media]

Lame entry in the "stranded travelers vs. homicidal killer on a deserted road" genre (see: "Joy Ride," "Jeepers Creepers," "Wrong Turn," etc.) ...some OK gore but there are way too many plot holes and "WTF?" moments... this is one of those movies where you instantly hate the lead characters and you say to yourself "these people are idiots, and they deserve everything that's about to happen to them."

Ignore, delete, destroy. Fortunately I only paid a buck for this DVD.

"Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999)

http://

In his second spy-spoof adventure, Austin time travels back to 1969, where he hooks up with the uber-hot CIA babe Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) and battles Dr. Evil on the moon to recover his stolen "mojo." Silly as hell but oh so much fun!!!

PRICELESS (2006)

a good French romance/comedy movie about a bartender who fall in love with a gold-digger. Audrey here as Irene is just cute and there are some really funny moments inside, and also hats off to the guy who played Jean character, his acting is very natural.

'New Years Eve' ; if you've seen 'Valentines Day' this is it again. Everyone person who's ever been in a movie is in this. My wife calls it a romcom, though I kind of missed the "com" part, but it's okay. Harmless garbage which doesn't really bother me. Craziest thing here is that Katherine Heigl actually probably outshines Gloria from 'Modern Family' in this one. That last dress that Heigl wears in this is just penis clenching.

It seems I've gotta see this one. :)

    • Sounds pretty good all round...just preordered..released 22nd Nov  
    • Luckily I will hopefully be front row so wont make a mess on anyones back.
    • If we never hear from you again, at least we'll know you went out with a smile on your face. 
    • Wow! Thank you so much mate. That's a massive compliment. That was the first one I wrote and I think it's my favourite so far. Like Geoff, I'm tending to draw on past personal experiences for my lyrics and that one means a lot. I was thrilled when the AI came up with that interpretation. 
    • Well this is some excellent news. Going to see Sophie Lloyds first headline show on 17th Oct in London (tiny club called The Underworld) and it has just been announced that the support act will be Chez Kane... can I handle two fit birds peforming on stage or will my heart give out before the show is over?
    • I don't rate or grade albums with any kinda numbering system or percentage. All I do is think which were the albums I enjoyed most, which generally means got played the most (I mean you don't play the worst albums over and over again for months), with memorable songs. Then when it comes to what order they go in. Once again, I just go with what I feel got the most airplay for me over the course of time. Obviously an album released in Jan is gonna potentially have more play time than one released in November, but It's down to longevity as well. If I play an album solidly for a month then move on, it's probably gonna be top 10, but if other albums are still being played regularly 3 or more months after release, those are gonna rank higher. I mean this year Judas Priest was a fairly early release in the year, but I am still playing it now, although  not as often. Then an album like Mick Mars which I loved, but has kinda fallen off my radar in the last six months, will rank a lot lower. I try to not go for recency bias as well even though I have been listening to one album in my top 10 for only a week, but it was such an insantaneous album I know its gonna get heavy play time for the next few months.
    • Good Times Roll-The Cars
    • Video for 'I'll Stand For You'.    
    • New song 'Who Am I' taken from the album 'Into The Great Unknown' out November 15 through Frontiers.    
    • @Darkstone, I just randomly clicked on your link and listened to "Hardened Heart." In the interest of full disclosure, I am not personally a fan of AI music--I find something about the vocals sterile and offputting--but I wanted to say that I thought that particular song sounded like something White Lion would have done back in the day. Nice power ballad, despite my aforementioned issues with AI tunes. While it's not for me, I'm glad people have an outlet for their creative impulses, and there's no doubt some cool stuff is emerging, with "Hardened Heart" being among the best I've heard.
