Hi All, LTN, No not with agoraphobic tendencies, has to be something special to shift me apart from the hospital been out twice in 15 years once to see the FF at Wolves civic Geoff.
that must be really hard mate , i'm sure you dont let it get you down! great to see that you went to the FF tho' , quality memories Hi All, LTH, To right matey as with many during there lives other things tend to get in the way of what you would really fancy I thought many years ago when 'Alan' departed that was it missed opportunity's etc,etc. then the news came around and it just gave me that extra oomph to get out, much the same as 'SW's Ep 7' did but your absolutely right best night of my life by far....
Right then back on track! 'Alien Resurrection' a better film than 3 IMO but the story a bit fanciful but it's Sci-Fi so what the hell, having said that it's worth watching as the film flies past once it gets going. I have just watched an alternative ending (Below) which should have been kept in IMHO. The alternative ending would have given a more open scope step-off if they wanted to film another in the franchise. Starring:- Sigourney Weaver,Winona Ryder,Ron Perlman,Dan Hedaya,J. E. Freeman,Brad Dourif and Michael Wincott.
Director 'Steven Blomkamp' wants to along with 'Sigourney Weaver' wants to film a sequel and had the go ahead at first but that has now been put on hold indefinitely. His idea is to carry on from where 'Aliens' left off and forget all about 3 and Resurrection which on the whole is a better vision if honest. The problem is that 'Ridley Scott' has thrown a massive spanner in the works by announcing a further two sequel's to the Prometheus sequel 'Alien Covenant' now in production so until they have been filmed and released (Depending on the success of the latest addition doh ) there is no chance that 'Ridley Scott' will hand the reigns over to 'Mr Blomkamp'.
Two hundred years have passed since Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) died on Fiorina 161. Aboard the medical research vessel USM Auriga, a team of scientists clone Ripley from her extracted DNA and removes the alien Queen embryo which was growing inside her at the time of her death. Alternative ending..... Geoff.

Hi All, Watched 'Red' last night (2nd time) recorded via 'Film4' still a good comedy action and worth a watch in anybody's book....... Starring:-Bruce Willis,Morgan Freeman,John Malkovich,Helen Mirren,Karl Urban,Mary-Louise Parker,Rebecca Pidgeon,Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss,Julian McMahon,Ernest Borgnine and James Remar.
After surviving an assault from a squad of hit men, retired CIA agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) reassembles his old team for an all-out war. Frank reunites with old Joe (Morgan Freeman), crazy Marvin (John Malkovich) and wily Victoria (Helen Mirren) to uncover a massive conspiracy that threatens their lives. Only their expert training will allow them to survive a near-impossible mission -- breaking into CIA headquarters.

Great movie, filmed in Tasmania's wilderness. Williem Dafoe searching for the extinct species of the 'Tasmanian Tiger'. With trouble not far behind him.

I watched 'Ken Russell's-The Devils' last night, make sure you either have plenty of booze or drugs when watching this film It's definitely a film that is from the word go disturbing with very mature themes while based on true characters and historical facts. What I will say is if you watch the film through to the end it has to be one of 'Oliver Reed's' best performances especially the last third but on the whole I watched for the experience as it was recommended on a film show.....
Starring:- Oliver Reed,Vanessa Redgrave,Dudley Sutton,Max Adrian,Gemma Jones,Murray Melvin,Michael Gothard,Georgina Hale,Brian Murphy,John Woodvine Christopher Logue,Kenneth Colley,Graham Armitage,Andrew Faulds and Judith Paris.
In 17th-century France, Father Grandier (Oliver Reed) is a priest whose unorthodox views on sex and religion influence a passionate following of nuns, including the sexually obsessed Sister Jeanne (Vanessa Redgrave). When the power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu (Christopher Logue) realizes he must eliminate Grandier to gain control of France, Richelieu portrays Grandier as a satanist and spearheads a public outcry to destroy the once-loved priest's reputation.

Hi All, Watched 'Enders Game' recorded via Film4 not what I expected had good FX but basically not what the trailer leads you to imagine the film to be. You have to make your own mind up at the end of the day, a so-so Sci-Fi film that is just about watchable for a fan of that genre. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Orson Scott Card. Written and directed by Gavin Hood, the film stars As a Butterfield as Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, an unusually gifted child who is sent to an advanced military academy in outer space to prepare for a future alien invasion. The end of the film sets up a sequel but that apparently is very much on the back burner being as it was a cinematic release bombed.... doh
Starring:-Harrison Ford,Kyle Russell Clements,Hailee Steinfeld,Abigail Breslin,Viola Davis,Aramis Knight,Suraj Parthasarathy,Moisés Arias,Khylin Rhambo,Conor Carroll,Nonso Anozie,Jimmy Pinchak,Stevie Ray Dallimore,Andrea Powell,Caleb J. Thaggard,Jasmine Kaur,Tony Mirrcandani,Brandon Soo Hoo,Cameron Gaskins and Orson Scott Card.

Hi All, Watched the low budget 'Predestination' via (Sky Cinema) not your typical Sci-Fi film but just good to watch drama and has a good twist ending... Starring:-Ethan Hawke,Sarah Snook,Olivia Sprague,Noah Taylor,Madeleine West,Christopher Kirby,Freya Stafford,Jim Knobeloch,Christopher Stollery,Tyler Coppin and Rob Jenkins.
A temporal agent (Ethan Hawke) embarks on a final time-traveling assignment to prevent an elusive criminal from launching an attack that kills thousands of people.

Hi All, I watched 'Things to do in Denver when you're dead' last night via (Sky Cinema). A great cast with good acting with some now familiar faces in early roles, a couple of comic scenes as well, although I felt the story dragged at times in between the action scenes I really enjoyed the film on the whole though...
Starring:-Andy Garcia,Christopher Lloyd,William Forsythe,Bill Nunn,Treat Williams,Jack Warden,Steve Buscemi,Fairuza Balk,Gabrielle Anwar,Christopher Walken,Michael Nicolosi,Bill Cobbs,Marshall Bell,Glenn Plummer,Don Stark,Willie Garson,Jenny McCarthy,Buddy Guy,Josh Charles,Sarah Trigger,Don Cheadle,Tiny Lister,Wiley Harker,Bill Bolender and Bill Erwin.
Ex-crook Jimmy "The Saint" Tosnia (Andy Garcia) is trying his best to go legitimate until he's dragged back into the world of crime for one last, seemingly simple mission. All Jimmy and his eccentric cronies have to do is intimidate their target. But they make a disastrous series of mistakes that result in the death of a woman connected to a powerful gangster. Before long, Mr. Shhh (Steve Buscemi), a notorious assassin who never slips up, is sent to take down Jimmy and his partners.

Hi All, I watched 'The Usual Suspects' (Via Sky Cinema) good action thriller with a good twist at the end. Most of the cast now well known stars early in their careers have one on to bigger and better things with exception of Stephen Baldwin....
Starring:- Stephen Baldwin,Gabriel Byrne,Benicio del Toro,Kevin Pollak,Kevin Spacey,Chazz Palminteri,Pete Postlethwaite,Suzy Amis,Giancarlo Esposito,Dan Hedaya and Peter Greene
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist," says con man Kint (Kevin Spacey), drawing a comparison to the most enigmatic criminal of all time, Keyser Soze. Kint attempts to convince the feds that the mythic crime lord not only exists, but is also responsible for drawing Kint and his four partners into a multi-million dollar heist that ended with an explosion in San Pedro Harbor - leaving few survivors.

Casino Royale 007. Immensely watchable. Skyfall. Also immensely watchable. I'll watch a Bond film if it happens to be on telly when I have the remote control, but the two above I'll watch when the mood takes me. James Bond 007 - A View to a Kill. Cheesy - like most Moore/Bond films, looking back at them. It happened to be on telly when I had the remote control (H.M. The Wife was out), and nothing better was on.

Hi All, I watched a very disappointing low budget supposed horror last night released in the UK as 'Monster Hunter' everywhere else as 'Dark Was The Night' ? ? ? Just like all my school reports had on them 'Could Have Done Better' doh A good story based on a 'Native American' folk tale that really deserved a better telling, the whole film was dead from start to finish especially dialogue but more because the film used crappy CGI, just pants and not recommended only if you want to be bored to death....
Starring:-Kevin Durand,Lukas Haas,Bianca Kajlich,Ethan Khusidman,Nick Damici,Steve Agee,Heath Freeman,Sabina Gadecki, Minerva Scelza,Joseph Pallister and Charles Parshley.
When a logging company decimates a forest in a small town, a sheriff (Kevin Durand) and his deputy (Lukas Haas) must confront the violent and unexplainable events that follow.
