The cinema experience (at home)
I have to say, horror is better on the big screen.
Which works out great when you have a huge soundsystem and a projector to have your own big screen cinema experience in your lounge :D.
To be honest, it's fairly cheap to do. I picked up the projector for £400, the sound system for about £500, the DVD player cost me £120 and then there are the cables which maybe cost me £80 lets say (yeah, I know, those are some expensive cables but stuff like VGA and speakon cables for the lengths you need are).
End cost, just over £1,000 which isn't too bad. You'll spend that on a big screen TV.
I Am Legend
The opinions are in and I Am Legend is getting good write-ups.
It's a film made by Will Smith though. Luckily Will Smith is amazing so that's not really a problem.
Meanwhile Movie Steak are reporting that Warner Bros have already purchased rights for the sequel.
Archives are up
The archives have been saying "coming soon" for quite a while now but they have finally been replaced by actual browsable archives categories by month. Enjoy!
Rob Zombie's Halloween arrives
Friday saw Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween arrive. I haven't seen the first impressions or box offices figures yet but it will be interesting to see what kind of write-up it gets.
Silent Hill 5
Details of the next installment of the Silent Hill saga are finally starting to emerge.
It's aim to be more interactive from what I call tell - it's using the Havoc physics engine and mobs will respond to things like you making loads of noise by knocking loads of stuff over.
It will also feature a whole new plot and should be out early next year.
Jurassic Park DVD sale
Tesco are currently selling Jurassic Park on DVD for £3! It's one of their while stocks last bargains so I had no choice but to pick up a copy really.
Cherry Falls
Cherry Falls aired on BBC2 the other day and I got two responses.
The first friend I spoke to about it explained she had been kept up all night because it was really scary.
The second friend I spoke to about it explained it was one of the funniest films he had ever seen.
That amused me :p.
The Craft DVD
The most interesting thing about this DVD is that it is the "collectors edition" and yet I've never actually need a non-collectors edition of it.
Still, it's a kickass movie and one which I was glad to re-watch. It tells the story of Sarah who gets involved in a covern at her new school and things get a bit crazy, especially when she wants out.
The DVD is also sporting director's commentary (though I cannot yet comment on how interesting it is) and a few d eleted scenes and of course, a making of documentary.
Charmed magazine launches
A new magazine about Charmed has just launched in the UK. It's one of those get a DVD with every issue and a predictably high price tag too.
So while I'm not suggesting everyone regularly shells out £8 for it, it might be worth getting the much reduced "let us sucker you in" issue at £3 just for the DVD.
Silent Hill is scary
I renew my belief that Silent Hill is a damn scary movie. It really is.
