The best horror films are the ones that mess with your head
As opposed to just loads of gore and shit etc. Even the original Alien is a better horror film than many that claim to be horror film, because you hardly ever see the aliens, your mind creates the suspense/fright instead of it just being laid out for you, which gets boring.

Indeed. This is why I prefer Alien to Aliens.
The Exorcist is ace as well.

Aliens is a shoot-em-up action movie, really, but a pretty good one

Exactly.
Alien is about the abjection of the female and post-colonialism.

Aliens is about GUNS.

The best part 3 ever is The Exorcist III
I recently got hold of a copy of Legion which the film is based, but deviates, from. George C Scott gives a fucken powerhouse performance in that.

Alien and Aliens are one of lifes perfect double-bills. Deciding between them is like deciding which day you prefer having a wank on.

I've read Legion.
I didn't rate it. Alright as a pulp novel.

And I like Alien 3, I realise that is a minority view (and that it's not as good as the first two) but it's unfairly maligned.

Godfather 3 is toss though.

MY LUCKY COAT!!!!

The woman at the start of that film is well fit.

I didn't get Alien3 at all
The bit with the alien running on the roof was good, but other than that, boring.
I quite liked some of the Poltergeist series, the bit with the kid only visible in mirrors was well weird.

I liked Batman & Robin, it was loads of fun to watch and there were bad guys and fights and guns and explosions and and and it's really good

it certainly realised the character of 'Bane' better than more recent versions

I didn't rate The Dark Knight Rises either; bad script, bad editing, major plot holes and the spasticated 'my real name is Robin' thing

(, Fri 11 Oct 2013, 23:29, Reply)
That film and Man of Steel were my top most depressing cinema outings of the past year
If indeed The Dark Knight Rises was in cinemas in the past year

Oh, and the new Star Trek

Fucken snakes biting its tail already, might be time to switch up.

I loved the 'broken back fixed by being punched in the spine by Tom Conti' bit
Oh, that and making it back to the USA from Azerbaijan or wherever with no money or passport, then making it in to a city in lockdown, then the coppers underground for what, three months, coming back up again with no health issues or that, and then NOBODY NOTICING THAT PATRICK BATEMAN IS ACTUALLY PATRICK BATMAN!!!!

Jesus H Christ it was shit on so many levels.

The minority view on Alien3 grows every year
Personally, I think it reeks potential but is a poor film when you remove the blinders. I read one of the many earlier scripts for it (possibly by Eric Red) that was set on a wooden planet inhabited by monks that would've been fantastic but enormously cost prohibitive. Good script though and a way better ending for Ripley.

I have a soft spot for Godfather III. Overall it;s a failure but its so effing sumptuous and the opera finale is the tits (if a little overwrought)

Godfather 3 is shit at every level
