Secret Ninja Movie Club (aka what have you watched lately)

I feel a little cheated any time I have to use a chord. Bit like with sk8boards and how they don't fly yet.
Hail ZORGLUB !

[Johnlenham]

Errrrrr. yes?
For all I know the box is just a house for a little wizard that casts a conversion spell

fair enough. I assume thats what it does.
I find it strange that theres even a market for such a thing!

Well yeah, it is a bit. I'm sure it'll disappear into obscurity like the game genie and betamax, but my parents TV would read some files off an external hard drive but not others (sometimes just the picture but no audio), this fixes that. If OAPs can work it i'm sure anyone can.

Hey now I still have a CRT tv as well It's for old game systems because they look like crap on modern TVs and LCD.

[Laszlo]

I have one too because it still works and fuck digital basically. I even run a ps3 off it!

Partridge film, really good.. I think he suits 20-30 minute episodes instead of a full length film but good watch, glad it didn't disappoint. Found it funny in the credits it said 'Jason Statham - Steve Coogan, Jason Bourne - Steve Coogan'

[aspect-dubz]

Hard to believe this is real. It's not a film that will be forgotten easily that's for sure.

Good Morning, Vietnam

Seen it before, still jokes. Didn't spot the twins from Gremlins 2/Terminator 2 in it last time I watched it though.


Triangle

Not bad. Was expecting fairly standard slasher stuff, but the mobius strip style chronology kept us guessing until the last 5mins.

Videodrome (1983)

Awesome, though a little corny.

Deborah Harry is beyond hot in it

[DiegoSapiens]

duende y misterio del flamenco

[hutyluty]

Hard to believe this is real. It's not a film that will be forgotten easily that's for sure.

Freddy Got Fingered (2001)

Daddy would you like some sausage? Daddy would you like some sausage?

Gets me every time

So I went back to the cinema again for a second attempt at the conjuring.

We had a massive new screen, great sound, late showing and me and only two other mates were there. No one at all in the screen. The sound was fucking loud too!

And it made a HUGE difference. Really got into it. It's like a proper stereotypical classic 1970s style of haunting/possesion based horror movie. It looks cool. It sounds amazing. The tense scenes are definitely tense and when you're into it it's pretty exciting. The characters are actually believable and likable unlike so many mainstream horror movies about now and the jump scares although fairly frequent work and are justified. They happen when a character is surprised whether it's genuinely something threatening or not. It does also have enough going for it that it doesn't feel too generic though while treading familiar horror ground. I'm so used to everything in horror and it still kept me greatly entertained. A lot better than recent horror like Insidious or Paranormal Activity or any of those.

I think people not liking it must be one of three things: Either watching it in a noisy showing or shit screen where you can't get into it, someone who doesn't like just straight forward old horror movies of this sub genre or people who went in with ridiculously high hopes expecting it to be some sort of game changer when it's not it's just a good mainstream horror.

I mean it both reminded me of an era of horror I like but it was creative enough that it still felt fresh and interesting and like a proper new horror rather than a lame pastiche of amityville or something. It didn't scare me, but horror movies don't in that kind of a sense. It did how ever draw me in, create tension, surprise me and entertain.

Go watch if you want a new film treading old played out ground in a way that works well in current times. One for genre fans or maybe one to still catch if you're not but want a horror that works especially well in the cinema setting. I can't imagine having any of the impact it does on headphones at a laptop or something compared to the big screen with loud sound (not saying that in a way that would suggest that it just relies on loud noise, it doesn't just does use sound effectively)

Avoid going with a crowd of dicks as you'll immediately get that "I'm watching a movie" feeling and not get much enjoyment out of any of it.
