[sup]
i read somewhere that if this is a successful cinema release that the makers might be interested in doing a prequel to it. I'd like to see some action with Neeson and his gang in their spying days. Havent had a good spy film lately , james bond doesnt count - cuz daniel craig is ghey as bond |

Even though you can clearly see its by the same makers of those Crank and Jet Lee type movies it was actualy very good as i hate those other movies with Statham in them like the Transporters but fck me Taken was very good.
I dont think it was big in America, never heard anything so me thinks this wont get a good release here either which is a shame.
Same goes for that Felon film, excellent film but i bet it goes straight to video cuz it didnt get much of a look in America wise

I downloaded around 15 movies/documentaries over the last month that I still had to watch..
TigerLand , seeing as you mentioned your going to see The Strangers , I thought I'd give it a watch.. 
The other film I watched was a documentary - High Tech Soul - The Creation Of Techno Music which centres around the Detroit scene from around the early 80's to the 90's , featuring the pioneers of Techno - Derrick May , Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins..
It's a good insight into how Techno went from being underground to having commercial success throughout Europe..
I'd give it 10/10
I don't want to be a killjoy but have to say the strangers reminded me of the film Halloween with a few Nightmare On Elm Street moments thrown in for good measure.. It starts off well and got me hooked for about 25 minutes , and it has it's moments that will creep you out , like people suddenly appearing from nowhere and such like (with sound effects to match) , but once you get over a few of those it becomes predictable , and doesn't offer anything original..
Liv Tyler's knickers come off for a split second , but that's about as exciting as it got for me , and when the film started to lose my attention , I ended up switching off after about 80 minutes..
Rating this film , I'd say either 4 or 5 out of 10 , but that's without having seen the ending.. |

lol Doesnt sound too promising that.
Yeah i seen that its based on true events and its more reality based and not total horror so i might just might like it.There's something about those people in those masks that look creep

I felt the "Based on true events" stuff was a bit off... Once the action starts it's your average horror flick.. Words written on the windows with lipstick , The axe coming through the front door , the hand appearing on the guys shoulder but there's nothing there when he turns round.. I'll say no more..
Films in general usually dissapoint me so I wouldn't read too much into my review..
There's is one thing about these types of films that has always bugged me though...
Whenever the bad guy has the good guy cornered , and has a gun/knife/weapon pointing to the good guy's head , the film should be over there and then , but you just know that ain't going to happen , and as a result they stretch the film out for another hour in a game of cat and mouse..
That's when I usually switch off the tv , and is the reason I never got into the james bond or die-hard films..
10 guys with machine guns , one guy with a pen... There should only be one winner.. |

if you guys get a chance , watch Death Race
another Statham movie , but good one. If you played the old playstation classic TWISTED METAL ull love this film. Its more or less just a reincarnation of the game - with a storyline. |

The quality isnt there just yet but i see its already doing the rounds on the download sites, i'll wait a bit extra for a better copy but aye does look good that.
Statham was good in Snatch and Lock Stock but all this Transporter and Crank sh!t really is bad 
By the way i watched Enemy Of The State earlier and fck me thats a great film, not as good as Bad Boys 2 but definetly one of Will Smiths best

no worries.. I've often given up on a film half way through to be told by others it was actually rather good..
The usual suspects and Leon are two that spring to mind , and I've never come round to the idea of trying to sit through either movie since then..
In the Strangers , as soon as his mate turned up at the house I knew he'd go inside and accidently get shot dead by the bloke.. That part was inevitable.. I switched off just after Liv Tyler's charachter ran away and wrecked her ankle with the axeman closing in..
Maybe I've got attention disorder because films rarely keep me hooked..  |
