Heartland

now I went to see this last week,
my brother assured me that it 'just ends', and ''its ok' - 4/10.
he's not a sci fi fan, but i thought it was ace. would have
given it 8/10... bits of it were downright frightening.

and as for it "just ending", well, thats what it does. they all die.
from bacteria. thats the original story.

what'd you reckon?

Oh, I won't bother going now.

Thanks for that.

It's not exactly a spoiler though is it? I thought War Of The Worlds was well-known enough that the ending (of the book anyway) is fairly common knowledge?

Towards the end of Titanic the boat sinks. Is that going to stop you watching it?

And in most films concerning Jesus, he tends to get 'dun in' towards the end

It sinks! Scratch that one as well then (Never seen it)

Best not mention The Crow. He dies, but it's all very aesthetic. One of my favourite, non-comedy, films

No, don't mention The Crow.

I quite enjoyed the film actually, nice little additions from the book itself and the first film they made of it. I think it's about time they made a film of the story set in England or would that be too difficult?

nope.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. its just "death wish" for goths.

likewise. edge of the seat stuff. by the end of it my chest hurt from not breathing out for long periods of time

last time i felt like that was after the first lord of the rings - 3 hours of running away!:o

Paul went to see it and said it was ok - no surprises, but then there wouldn't be Apparently very much a Spielburg film and Cruise vehicle. I don't go to the cinema (I have a particular phobia ) but will give it a go when its out on DVD

went to see it last sunday, but chose for Charlie and the chocolat factory instead... Which was very good! And it's also a very well known(= classic) book! The Johnny Depp-Tim Burton couple is way cooler than Spielberg-Cruise

War of the worlds is next on my list ...

Glad you enjoyed it! However I saw a trailer for it while waiting for WOTW to start and was afraid that Johnny Depp might be too camp. I am a big fan of the original film with Gene Wilder you see

Put Burton and Depp together and you get Edward Scissorhands that puts me off. I love Depp but Burton gets too sentimental for me every now and then:-

Beetlejuice ( )
Scissorhands ( )
Sleepy Hollow ( )
Nightmare Before Christmas ( )

.......get my drift

Yes! Good point BA

I enjoyed WotW, but was a little confused, so let me run this past you lot:

The Martians came to earth before American cities were built and buried a load of tripod machines, so that they could wait until mankind had invented tanks, nuclear weapons and jet aircraft until they invade?

Why's that then - to give us a sporting chance?

In the earlier film the tripod machines came down in the meteor thingies, which made far more sense.

Johnny Depp... too camp?! Very!!!

You didn't like the Nightmare before christmas????
Then you surely mustn't go to Charlie & ... because there is some sentimental stuff about family and sticking to it
... but, as I was still recovering from Saturday escapades, I lurved it big time

radiojamaica wrote:You didn't like the Nightmare before christmas?

No - sorry - way too much for me

radiojamaica wrote:Then you surely mustn't go to Charlie & ... because there is some sentimental stuff about family and sticking to it

Saw an interview with Tim Burton last night and he mentioned the "family" ending and I must say that did put me off a little - too much of a cynic I s'pose

whatever gets you through hangovers/ come downs can't be all bad

The recent film "saw"?,didn't think Depp was in it or Burton directed it?

MadameButterfly wrote: Go watch SAW you idiots or has no one heard of it

Yep - saw "Saw" - I thought it was a bit run of the mill. Good idea but could have made it far worse than they did. I thought it ended up as a bit of a tabloid horror

watched "saw" on sky movies a few weeks back.

good film. made me feel very uncomfortable. in a bad way. which is a good thing, obviously

nowt to do with depp or burton, but a good film, if you like psychological horror.

Exactly!

• Heroes nearly get captured.
  They escape.
  Rinse.
  Repeat.

I hated Scissorhands and I hate going to the flicks, in Depp's defence I must mention Pirates Of The Caribbean, a modern classic IMO
"Parlez"?
