This supposed to be out today but none of the bloody cinemas in Nottingham are showing it. Pah!

I take back the above, after some digging (eventually found on Neil Marshalls MySpace page) I found that the UK release date isn't until May 9th. Pah again!

It's worse than anything I've seen for a long time. It's worse than the Doom movie. It's worse than Aeon Flux and Ultraviolet. It's directed by a pair of cack-handed monkeys who should have stuck to VFX supervision (the fact that the VFX in this movie are shocking is another matter). It has a cast of nobodies that you couldn't give two hoots about. you can't see anything because it's dark and raining throughout the movie and the fight scenes are all in close up.

It sucks and I wish it had never happened. Apart from the last minute which is interesting, but leaves it wide open for 'AVP3: something that fell out of my arse'.

Please god, make it stop.

Another adaptation from a graphic novel, this movie is about a small Alaskan town slipping into it's long winter where the sun doesn't rise for, guess what, 30 days. Taking advantage of the fact is a bunch of vampires who lay waste to the town in 'The Thing' meets 'Lost Boys' at the hands of Sam Raimi (who produced it) style.

I saw this at the weekend. It was a toss up between seeing this or Resident Evil: Extinction, and it was a pretty good call. It's not an original movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it is an interesting twist on the vampire genre. Nice vamps, characters that you want to survive, and a few shocks thrown in all culminating in a good ending.

Anyone else seen this - what did you think ?

I quite enjoyed this, it filled the 'monsters & guns' category that I really enjoy. I'm not a big horror fan either, but I liked this much more than the first (recent one, not the original, which I haven't seen).

Daft, but enjoyable.

I love Firefly almost as much as I love the original Star Wars trilogy. Joss Whedon should have been allowed to direct episodes 1, 2 & 3.

Serenity was a movie of compromises. It felt a bit rushed but that was the fault of the studio binning Firefly without giving a chance and, as far as I know, suffering from the episode running order being screwed up when it was first aired on US TV. A lot had to be squeezed into this movie and Joss did a better job than most would have done.

More time could have been dedicated to establishing characters and relationships, events later in the film would have greatly benefitted from this, nevertheless, this was an astonishing film, exciting, suspenseful and heart-wrenching, which is unusual in sci-fi.

I keep going back and watching the TV series more than the movie. It cost me £17 and was worth every penny.

I'm not sure if Joss will make any more movies, but I live in hope. Browncoats all the way.

This was a terrible movie. Having made Equilibrium, Kurt Wimmer should be ashamed of himself. This was one of the few movies I saw this year that I wanted to get up and walk out of. Weak plot, terrible dialogue, characters that you couldn't care less about, this was almost as bad as Aeon Flux but not quite.

Everything about this movie was hackneyed and derivative. There wasn't an original moment in it. A stinker of the highest order.

Milla looked hot though.

I saw this the other day and absolutely loved it. Some of the violence surprised me, but it was probably necessary to illustrate the Spanish Civil War in which the film was set.

This would be the sort of movie that The Brothers Grimm would make if they were still alive. Highly recommended.

Ghostrider is a suckfest. I watched the trailer and thought it looked awesome, waited for the movie and left with a disappointed frown on my face.

I love Nick Cage, Lord of War is awesome, but GR is dirge, almost on a par with Spawn. Cage is okay, Eva Mendes can't act for sh*t, and the bad guys look like a bad goth band. Not even Sam Elliot could save this. Just plain awful.

...and me, I loved it too. Especially the celtic predator. Ace.

I'll be in the queue for AVP2.

I loved te first one but was a bit indifferent about the second. I've never played any of the games - are they better or worse having played the games ?

Do they fall foul of the same thing that happens when movies are made of comics and the die hard fans of those comics hate the movies ?

Gonna go and see if I can find the teaser trailer for RE3 now.

ST2 wasn't nearly as bad as some scifi movies, but was nowhere near as good as the first. Worth a look though - has some similarities to Carpenter's 'The Thing' in some respects.

Gotta be Willis. No-one packs a dirty vest and Beretta 92 better than him. Not even in a John Woo movie.

Point Break is a top quality movie, directed by one of my favourite directors, Kathryn Bigelow (who also did 'Starnge Days' and 'Near Dark'). The perfect part for Keanu Reeves.

Couple of nice cameos from Anthony Kiedis (who shoots himself in the foot) and Flea (if I remember correctly) from the Red Hot Chili Peppers as bad guys. Also, Lori Petty looking really hot.

Haven't seen this in ages, should go and buy it really.

Con Air - no contest. Airforce One is terrible, even Ford (who is my silver screen hero) and Oldman can't save what is effectively a poor mans Tom Clancy movie.

Con Air also has Nicholas Cage telling the bad guy to 'put the bunny back in the box'.

Can't beat Bruckheimer when it comes to action.

I love this thread.

Already been posted but the 'I came her to chew bubblegum...' line from They Live is one of my favorites, as is:

'This reminds me of the last words of my father - don't son, that gun is loaded'
- Lance Henrikson as 'Chains' in Stone Cold

That sucks arse. The film gest advertised as a double-header, people get all excited about the fact then they split it onto two movies so you have to pay twice as much.

If you can sit through 3 hours of Lord of the Rings then you can damn sure sit through 3 hours of Grindhouse. Why not just have an intermission like they used to before the movie companies started to milk every penny out of us.

I sat through the three original Star Wars films back to back twice. I'm sure those of us that want to see Grindhouse as it was originally intended would be able to cope.

I've heard on the rumour mill that they are gonna release Grindhouse as two seperate films here in the UK as they consider the 3 hour runtime to be too long. Anybody confirm/deny this ?
