Currently ranking at a spectacularly low 35% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Man, I hope it isn't true that the movie blows, as I've been waiting for this one for years. Guess I'll find out tomorrow...

Yawn...more mindless complaining about remakes.

Tony Scott is one of the few directors who are reason enough for me to NOT watch a movie. There is not a single movie I even like a little bit from this man. That's overstating it a tad. There are a handful of Scott movies I've enjoyed quite a bit, particularly True Romance (although a lot of that ...

I'm more turned off by the PG-13 rating than anything else. Y'know, I keep hearing horror geeks bitching about the PG-13 rating on the Fog remake, yet I didn't find the original film to be that violent. :? There's a surprising lack of gore (particularly from the director of The Thing :)), no nudity...

Michael, Ugggh!! I forgot SLEEPY HOLLOW :) Another one of my favorites (ditto for Elfman's score). A favorite of mine, as well. Such perfect Halloween "atmosphere", plus violence that's gory, yet not sadistically so. I just wish that there had been some deleted scenes on the DVD. :( Every...

She'll be in that horse movie with Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning. Just wanted to let Andy know so he could camp out in front of the theater on opening day.

Did anyone else find it bizarre in the documentary that, of all the film composers who could've discussed Miklos Rosza's magnificent score, the producers selected...Elia Cmiral and Don Davis?! :shock: Especially weird that they show clips from the Davis-scored The Matrix (yeah, that score sounds a l...

Michael Ryan wrote:Bay is perhaps one of the most over rated Hollywood directors.

Um, how, exactly, is Bay "overrated"? He's arguably the most critically revilled director of the past 20 years.

I like this. I'm seeing more attempts to have soundtrack CD's put in with their respective DVD's and I'm all for it. Ugh, not me. :evil: I hated the fact that I was forced to buy Clint Eastwood's collosally boring score CD to Mystic River just to get the extras on the 3-disc set. And it would have ...

That featurette is scarier than anything in the actual movie.

It's also playing on the TV in the Oracle's living room in The Matrix.

A damn shame that the gang from MST3K never got their hands on this one.

I took in a matinee this afternoon. It's easily Craven's best work since the first Scream . Fine performances by Cillian Murphy (just as unsettlingly vacant as he was in Batman Begins ) and the absolutely beautiful Rachel McAdams (looks like I've found my latest celeb crush :P), tight, fat-free paci...

romanD wrote:Only 2 scenes have been deleted completely, and about 5 new ones added (including the sex scene with Dawson extended very graphically).

Considering that Dawson's nude scene was the only redeeming asset of this bloated turkey, I'm not complaining.

What horror remake in the past 20 years was better than its original? Not quite the last 20 years for the first two, but... - Invasion Of The Body Snatchers '78 - The Thing '82 - The Fly '86 - Dawn Of The Dead '04 Kaufman's Snatchers and Cronenberg's The Fly are better than the originals, Carpenter...

I know there are a lot of people who like that version, but it really is a relic of its time IMO, and hasn't aged well. That's what I actually like about the Body Snatchers movies, is that each one is so specifically rooted in the particular era it was produced in. I like the Kaufman movie the best...
