Tremors is excellent. I've never watched any of the sequels though, are they any good?

They are complete B movies compared to the original, the second one is almost passable as a Channel 5 film.

I've seen them all and they are pretty dross. They are an embarrassment to the original.

I believe there was also a TV series after the 4th movie came out. I dread to think how poor it must be

-edit, OMG; Dean Norris (Hank from Breaking Bad) is in the Tremors TV series, poor guy

They're sooooo bad they made the 3rd & 4th films look like academy award winners! I'm a huge Tremors fan so forced myself to watch them and I had to force myself to finish the run.

Tremors is a B movie....the rest are turd.

Watched Django Unchained again tonight....gotta love a bit of Tarantino.

RAID 2. Not as good as the first one but good old chop-socky action nonetheless.

Noah....don't bother.

Saturn 3. Not bad at all, 5 - 5.5 /10.

I thought Keitel's voice acting was well done. Kirk Douglas, for me, was a odd choice for this film, but delivered a good performance nonetheless. Maybe it was just that I didn't expect to him in a film of this type.

The atmosphere created by the corridor design / lighting was pretty good for its time.

Joe starring nic cage. 5/10

500 Days of Summer for me last night. Love that film - an essential for any fan of The Smiths/Belle and Sebastian/Regina Spektor!

Best use of Belle & Sebastian in a film is in High Fidelity when Jack Black comes in all pumped up and is disgusted with Seymour Stein playing in the shop

Mama - 5/10

Not very scary at all, kind of enjoyable to watch when nothing else is on.

Sunshine.

Another solid piece of work from Danny Boyle, 7.5 / 10.

The negotiator
I bloody love this film, superb ending 9/10

Watched The Knowing last night. It was on Film4.

Its a silly movie but I enjoyed it. The CGI wasn't even that bad. The Plane crash halfway through was pretty intense.
I particularly enjoyed this disaster movie because:

Compared to other disaster films where a large portion of people survive, Everyone (apart from a few boring children) dies at the end and the Earth is completely obliterated.

Shallow Grave - 6/10

First film directed by Danny Boyle. Similar in a sense to Trainspotting, weird but enjoyable in parts.

But you know they'll come up with a sequel some day. 'The Knowing 2 - Electric boogaloo'.

The Goonies on bluray and then The Goonies on channel 5+24hrs

I fell asleep but apparently it was uncut version, is it just the octopus that is cut from most versions, always wondered why Data talked about an octopus at the end of the film ( I always presumed it was just his imagination running wild, which I also guess is why they decided to keep that scene in the cut version)

Revolver.

Quite good, though a somewhat complicated plot was made overly complicated, at least for my tastes (6/10).

Sat watching Independence day, how is this film now 20 years old!

Aeleys · 15 Apr 2014 at 20:19

Escape Plan 8/10

Arnie and Stalone can't go wrong really, all round good movie
