drbirdsong Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/drbirdsong/TornadoAlley.jpg Saw it yesterday in 3D at the IMAX in Chattanooga, TN. It's very big and impressive if a little less than I thought it might be. It wasn't quite worth the $9.50 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just a song and the name of a choo choo. Maybe something like Narnia too? Do you get there by magic wardrobe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I thought it was pretty good! Good creepy stuff in it! Yeah that's the one. I didn't recognise him at first but right away I knew I knew him. I think he must have put on some weight for Watchmen to look washed-up. And yeah the film genuinely gave me the shivers down the spine. It reminded me a little of recent Japanese horror films they way they just suddenly had a demon appearing behind a chair or the old woman. Spooky stuff. Rose Byrne plays the female lead, it's always good to see her too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarian Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I watched Tommy on VH1Classics last night. And I watched it up to the gang section - Hell's Angels I guess? I couldn't take anymore - god awful. maybe I just don't like musicals. I did like watching Townsend, Clapton, and Entwistle in the Marilyn Monroe bit though.. It was just as bad as Rocky Horror, and I haven't been able to sit through that in its entirety (and not planning on it, either) - although I still enjoy the soundtrack.

USB Connector Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 My local theatre is still surprisingly playing the Avengers. I can't believe the movie almost sold out. Anyways, I still think it's the best superhero movie to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it? The tag line just screams "piece of shit." It wasn't great but it wasn't a total disaster, in fact it was pretty much an ok vampire romp... The big twist on the Drac legend in this was that Dracula was really Judas Iscariot all along, forced to walk the earth as a human demon for 2000 years. When he hanged himself he did it as the sun went down and was cursed by what he'd done to Jesus to become a kind of junior version of Lucifer; not a fallen angel but a fallen disciple and a perversion of Jesus and his teachings, ie drinking blood instead of letting people eat and drink of the body etc. And the symbols of the things he'd done would hurt him, ie crosses, for obvious reasons, silver, for the silver pieces, stakes for the spikes and nails used against Jesus and sunlight because of the hanging when the sun went down. Something like that anyway... The cast is pretty good too, Christopher Plummer as Van Helsing, Jeri Ryan and Jennifer Esposito as eye candy vampires and Gerard Butler shockingly effective as Dracula. It also had the advantage of following the woeful Bloody Valentine. Anything is good after seeing that. Whatever you do don't watch that one. All in all Drac 2000 wasn't bad, relatively entertaining, as long as you're not expecting a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
