Orphan, expected it bo a very run of the mill teen horror schlock, somewhat surprisingly a bloody good movie. I'd say its on a par with some of M. Night Shymalan's better movies, recommended!

Saw Gamer last night, bit of a disappointment, there was a few flashes of brilliance like the song and dance routine at the end but not a patch on Crank 2 which is quite easily one of my favourite movies of the year. Better luck next time guys

Agreed cracking little movie, especially for nowt! Well worth a look!
Last film I saw Dustin Hoffman's 'Straight Time' excellent comedy drama from the seventies with a super David Shire score. Also sawZombieland the other day 'Shaun of the Dead' not quite but a decent zom-com with the ever watchable Woody Harrelson.

Made quite a few youtube movie tribute vids of late, including In Bruges, The Crying Game, Reservoir Dogs, Taking of Pelham123 (1974) and Dead Man's Shoes of course. Sorry for the shameless plug (though some of you may enjoy them), not getting many views though you know how it is? Channel here www.youtube.com/sinbad0910And for an example of this sort of thing done to perfection

Everything I've read about it say how well it works in the cinema environment, and it was the reaction of the crowd in a test screen that won them a distribution deal. Well i may well be wrong can only comment on my experience, watched with just one other person in the dark it made for a creepy nights entertainment. It doesn't really use any cinematic visuals or anything, no music etc, and I just think if I'd watched it with 300 other people I would not have found it as unsettling

The two leads do I suppose fit the normal horror convention, but the Katie character fleshs out very well during the course of the film. One of the best aspects of it (I thought) was the use of the camera just sat on a tripod for much of the film, it added a lot of authenticity to the set-up.

I saw this last night knowing nothing about it at all, made for $11,000 the storyline is very similar to Drag Me to Hell. After watching it I looked it up on IMDB and while the film is two years old it is currently riding high in the US with a $30 million box office scoop at present making it the most profitable budget/takings ratio film ever. I am actually pretty glad I watched at my mates with just the two of us. I don't think the movie will work as well in cinemas as it relies on silence with not much happening on screen to build tension (which works brilliantly), in fact it positively needs to be seen on the small screen. Aparrently the very end is changed slightly in the theatrical version and from what I've read not for the better. It's a great example though of what can be done on a miniscule budget.

A few years since I last saw this one..oohh about twenty I'd say 'Weekend at Bernies', Bernie should have won an Oscar for best supported actor. It was no worse or better than I remembered although its regarded as a bit of a cult classic nowadays.
