Starring: Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, Chloë Sevigny & Steve Zahn

Directed by Billy Ray (2003)

I watched Shattered Glass on BBC iPlayer last night and found it totally engrossing from start to finish. This is an excellent dramatization of the disgraced journalist Stephen Glass' fall from grace when working for US publication The New Republic. Well worth a watch ;)

Great film Curse of the Demon is its American title but in the UK it was called Night of the Demon. Sadly the American movie is cut with a shorter running time.

Leo McKern was great in it.
Its a guilty pleasure..great script, old fashioned...in a "proper film" kind of way.
Watch at least once a year.

Another once a year film for me is John Milius' Big Wednesday.
Fantastic screenwriter, co-wrote the first two Dirty Harry film's and Apocalypse Now, fantastic Director too.

This film got me through my teenage years and partying when my folks were away on holiday.
Taught me about the value of friendship too.

Good Cinema can affect real life.

The Outer Limits - First Season

I have been working my way through this box set again recently and loving it all over again. When I was a kid I would stay up late to watch this on BBC2 and it was a real joy to watch. Most of the stories still work though some are a bit dated.

The Galaxy Being, Don't open till Doomsday, It crawled out of the Woodwork and Production and Decay of Strange Particles, are fantastic stories.

Sadly I have discovered one of the DVDs has begun to rot so won't play right :(

'The Breakfast Club'

Another film I ain't seen for decades - still watchable - I remember fancying the Ally Sheedy character up until she has her makeover at the end. American High School films always fascinate me, there was quite a few in the '80s - Pretty In Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful and so on. Are U.S schools really like that?

Indeed - I recall there is an episode of Futurama that revolves around a copy of the soundtrack - on vinyl, of course.

World War Z

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...kuKmlJ82zZ1PDF

I went to the pictures today and I was unsure what to expect - not a big Brad Pitt lover here - but over all I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the film. Plenty of action and wow moments but mostly kept within a realistic real world frame work, so no crazy super hero moments from normal people.

The films making was troubled with quite a few issues but despite that it is in my view a good film worth the price of admission.

As a side note in parts I thought it offered a good visualisation of some of what I had read in the book Coldbrook by Tim Lebbon which would make a cracking film if done right.

Catching that this weekind Neil, as well as Man of Steel tommorow.
Imax 3D, big Supe's fan here since I was a kid so really looking forward to that.
Hopefully better than the disappointing Superman Returns.

World War Z looks good, from the trailers not so much a zombie splatter-fest but maybe a more considered action type movie?
Loved the Max Brooks book, but imagine its very different from that.

Also, a chunk of the film was made in Glasgow and I saw some of the filming!

Hi Gary

I liked Superman Returns - I though Kevin Spacey quite good as Lex Luthor. I see that film as continuing the Christopher Reeves period vibe but done well. The new movie has had mixed reviews so I am looking forward to reading what you think of it.

I haven't read the Max Books book so approached it with an open mind except for Brad's presence in the film which very nearly put me off going.

I've just received my Blu-ray of Cloud Atlas, Neil. It had the same impact on me at the cinema, the film rolling through my mind for several days after. I decided it was the film of the decade and can't see it easily being beaten! I'm really looking forward to watching it again.

Hi Martin

Yes its incredible, breathtaking, beautiful, haunting, moving and the music is fantastic too. Frankly I am gob smacked.

In away it reminds me of the massive tapestry of time and space that Mike Moorcock came up with for his Eternal Champion cycle of stories.

It was the Blu Ray I was watching.

I watched Cloud Atlas yesterday evening and it completely blew me away, what an absolutely epic movie. The Wachowski brothers do it again... :more:

I think we're building a serious Cloud Atlas appreciation society here. You'll get no argument from me, Dave. I've already called it the film of the decade and I'll take bets that at the end of 2019 it'll still hold that position.

Brotherhood

Amazing, harrowing, moving, brutal, Korean war film. About the love between two brothers and how war brings them together, then tears them apart.

Visually stunning one of the very best war films ever made imho.
