cant wait for Wolf Creek apparently it done really well at the recent Sundance Festival
quote:
"What sets Wolf Creek apart from other thrillers is its craftsmanship," the Sundance website said about the film.
"Instead of relying on archetypes and predictable formulas, McLean meticulously fashions three dimensional characters, utilising exceptional performances and an intelligently structured script."
McLean said the film was inspired by the stories of backpacker murderer Ivan Milat and the abduction of English tourist Peter Falconio in the Northern Territory bush.
it might make the poms think twice before coming here

DOOM
its not coz im a traditonalist and grew up on IDs games that i was so disappointed in this flick. it really just is genuinely that bad (tho begic might like it)
its biggest problem was that it was just BORING. barely anything happened for the first half of the movie. the beasties were hidden in the dark so we couldnt even see them. LAME.
the dialogue was pretty atrocious, and the story-line non-existant (they changed it from being hell to some bio-engineered bollocks too).
the rock was a disappointment for me; very little charisma imo.
the only thing that saved this movie from being utter garbage was the first-person bit right at the end, but even that was too short. nice touch of paying homage to the title though.
1 BFG out of 5
still, its better than aliens versus predator

has anyone seen the exorcism of emily rose? i have heard good reviews and it looks okay
there was an interesting story on foreign correspondent last night about the roman catholic church and it reestablishing the practice of exorcism.

oh noes
i got excited when i saw the first person bit in the preview. apparantly john carmack was dissapointed they got rid of the hell theme and had people with him to organise a speedy exit from media if it sucked too bad when he saw it hehe. i guess you would always be a bit sceptical with something like this, when was the last video game based movie that was good? i think the director said in an interview they were only loosely basing it on events in the games, it was more a "continuation of the basic story" or something like that. im still gonna see it anyway, cause its doom, and its got the rock

yeah, what a fvcking stupid idea. makes it sound like resident evil (which i thought was def better btw). the whole hell thing opens the door for all kinds of coolness. stupid stupid ppl. and dont go expecting loads of recognisable creatures either
i reckon john woulda had a chopper with a fully-armed exit this movie is that bad

i thought resident evil was a pretty average movie, without even really having played the games before...
