Insomniac Double Feature last night:

 

"Trick R Treat" (2009)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMoiNyyXSwU

In this cool "Creepshow" style horror-anthology flick, several spooky stories - including a principal who moonlights as a serial killer, a pack of female werewolves, and a school bus load of ghostly children - all intersect around the same small town on Halloween night. This flick strikes just the right balance between humor and horror and has become a Halloween season perennial for me.

 

"RoboCroc" (2013)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWoW7TfM8mc

Yeah, this one is a "crock" all right. A secret government space launch crash lands near a zoo, causing its payload of experimental "nanobots" to invade the body of the zoo's giant salt water crocodile. This transforms the croc into a souped up, super powered half-metallic killing machine whjch invades the water park next door so it can chomp on lots of girls in bikinis while a couple of zookeepers (including Corin "Parker Lewis" Nemec) and the military try to figure out how to kill the darn thing. Even by SyFy Channel standards, this one was hellaciously bad...like, "Worst thing I've seen all year" bad.

Paul.

 

Ditto.

 

Another film that I thought would be a bit rubbish, but thoroughly enjoyed. Very funny, great characters and a few surprises. Good stuff.

The Hunger Games

 

[very well done actually - stayed close to the book, and for once I may have actually preferred the film to the book as the first person perspective writing put me off a bit]

  • My Little Pony

 

World War Z

I am so apprehensive about this as the book was so good and unique.

 

Don't expect the book. From what I hear -- I haven't read the book -- it's completely different. But it's still one of the most intense zombie flicks I've seen.

The only thing the film shares with the book is the title ... :(

I'm not saying a word ... my feelings about the film when compared to the book have been well-documented elsewhere ... ;)

Both.

Just don't make the mistake of thinking that they're the same thing :)

"Argo" (2012)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w918Eh3fij0

 

Ben Affleck directed and stars in this Oscar winning suspense/thriller (based on a true story) of a secret CIA operation to get six American refugees out of Iran ... by posing as a film crew scouting locations for a fictitious science-fiction movie called "Argo."

 

Cool premise, great performances (esp. by Alan Arkin and John Goodman, who are hilarious as the Hollywood types who help set up the "op") and lots of period detail make for a fascinating flick. Good stuff.

The Golden Compass....nice kids movie that should have been a trilogy...instead they left the story hanging with just the one movie

 

 

It was "left hanging" cuz that movie cost a shit ton of $$ to make and then it bombed...so the planned sequels were cancelled.

I read the book trilogy and I think it would have been an amazing movie trilogy too. Really liked it indeed.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
