Good film. I've seen it loads of times.
I was watching 'The Chronicles of Riddick' again earlier (ITV4). Yes I know its 'escapist fantasy nonsense', but it's really well done and on a hugely grand scale. There are some very decent actors and acting and the plot is nicely elaborate. Vin Diesel is perfect as the droll and taciturn 'hero' and the CG stuff is spectacular and very well handled. The big twist at the end finishes the whole thing off nicely.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Good film that, reminded me of Dune in a lot of ways.
Watched "The Signal" last night.
Very good, came into it cold so didn't know what to expect other than it recommended by a mate.
Thoroughly enjoyable in a mind-bendery cold Kubrickian kinda way.
Reminded me (atmosphere wise) of Phase 4, a seventies scifi Classic, but with a few other staples thrown into the mix too.
Don't check it on IMDB first....just watch it.

I love Phase 4, the music is fantastic too - I would love a copy of the soundtrack as I would also music from The Mutations.Originally Posted by Gazjam

Stumbled across this yesterday, didn't know about it and the trailer looks interesting. Also The Europa Report and Last Days of Mars but they get mixed reviews

Film tonight is the leone classic "Once Upon A Time in the West" starring The beautiful Claudia C, Henry F, Jason R and Mr death himself, Chuck Bronson. Watching the special collectors edition.
Leone' comments "The rhythm of the film was intended to create the sensation of the last gasps that a persn takes just before dying".(how true) FROM START TO FINISH, A DANCE OF DEATH.
A masterpiece, both visually and sonically, this is still my favourite film of all time 12/10

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
