It's good to be annoyed by films. I agree with a lot of his views, it's just that the hamfisted way he puts them over kind of diminishes the effect.
Actually Sicko is one of his better films as he stays on topic most of the way through.
I'm off to see a whole bunch of horror films on halloween including Dracula with Peter Cushing!

new trailer for i am legend is out now and has wet my appetite for it , i bought the book and read it all in 3 hours , very short but was amazing , i hope the film does it justice as they just normally ruin it by the end , arnie was supposed to play the lead role but as the film took so long to get made will smith ended up doing it not sure if this is a good thing as its hit and miss with big willie on his films .... hitch anyone lol although i did like his last movie with his kid
american gangster was amazing i would agree that denzel deserves an oscar not sure about russel crowes accent in it though
there is a serious lack of good films coming out though , fast and the furious i never liked

From what I can gather, I Am Legend is based more on being a remake of The Omega Man (which itself was based on the original book "I Am Legend", but they used zombies instead of vampires as the bad guys) So that means zombies again. Don't know why they don't go down the vampire route. Strange.
Watch The Omega Man first though, it's a classic!

This thread has been dead since October, so I am giving it CPR. Lets see if we can get going again!
Movies I have seen recently:
AVPR - Despite the reviews, I thought this was a bloody good film. Took a lot of the great parts from Aliens and the first Prdator movie and added them together. The hybrid pred-alien was quality. I knew it was gonna be good when right from the start a kid gets aface hugger on him!!! That never happend man, kids and animals are always safe. Not in this move! I loved it.
Beowulf - Very surprised by this one. Thought it was a very good evrsion of the story, with wonderful animation. An action film to scare the shit outta kids!
Rob Zombies Halloween - Having seen House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects, I was pretty sure I was gonna like this. Rob Zombie certainly has a flair for the dramatically deranged. The only problem was that the second half of the movie falls under the "remake" banner, and I think he could have done a better job paying homage to the original. The main failing was that, by the end, you actually want the heroine (played by Jaime Lee Curtis in the original) to get killed, as she's really annoying. I would still recomend watching this though if you are a horror fan.
Resident Evil Extinction - Very pleased with this film. Had more substance to it than the 2nd movie. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. Great action and as always, the lovely Milla Jovovich looking sensational as always!
Wrong Turn 2 - Not bad, but not as good as the first one. Although Henry Rollins is quite funny in this.
Also, and old movie, but I had never seen it before, Swingers. Saw it for the first time at the weekend (it was on Film4 a couple weeks back) If like me you hadn't seen it, watch it as soon as you get the chance. It was money baby, money!
So, thats all I can think of for now. Until next time (which probably won't be long, I watch a hell of a lot of movies!)

I'm with you on that one, was a great movie. Managed to make it part of Valentines day, which cleared me from going to see any sort of chick flick crap, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it!
