the ring was adapted from the japanese version (dont worry it has subtitles) and its better.

 

[russian blue]

I had no idea there was another version, and then I'm wondering how you would know how to speak Japanese!!

Thanks for clarifying....I think I need some caffeine!

i think it's called Ringu.

i can't wait to see Moonlight Mile.

I rented The Ring last night, and was rather underwhelmed. It reminded me of two movies I love, one of which definately was out before either the US or Japanese version. The first is The Changeling , starring George C. Scott. GREAT psychological horror/thriller movie, and there are two scenes that STILL give me the creeps although I've seen it so many times. The second is A Stir of Echoes, starring Kevin Bacon, which came out around the same time as The Sixth Sense, and got lost at the theaters. If you love a thinking person's horror film, look these two up.

I want to get some new dvds. I got feardotcom and it scared me!! I don't think i'll ever watch it again

oh, i loved The Changeling too, Christy.

i was also unimpressed by The Ring, it just seemed to drag on and on for me and it certainly wasn't as scary as i was expecting, though there were some terrifying images.

 

[kiwideus]

i loved a stir of echoes too.

i will have to look up the changeling - how old is it?

I liked Stir of Echoes, too. The Ring gave me the creeps, but it wasn't really scary.

I think I'll rent Stir of Echoes tomorrow (I like Kevin!).

Does anyone know whether While Oleander was any good?

 

[kiwideus]

i was thinking about white oleander, and wondering if it was worth renting out.
stir of echos has been on telly so many times, im surprised you havent seen it.

i thought White Oleander was just awful, i could barely sit through it... though i did read the book before i saw the film.

poor acting, poor script.

 

[kiwideus]

stir of echoes is on TNT tomorrow night if you wanted to see it.

 

[gurlpower]

Personally, i love the black/white ones.. classic movies are my favorites!

One movie that always stay close to my heart is:

S.W.A.L.K

stands for:

seal With A Loving Kiss


i believe it is a British production, with young Mark Lester. The songs were written and sung by the Bee Gees, and it is really well-made, very sweet and tender.

Go

Check it out!!

Cheers!

Kellye,

It was made in 1980. I don't know if it's available at most video stores, but it is available on VHS and DVD from Amazon.

I don't have TNT! Oh well!

I saw Daredevil today. It was pretty much what I expected, lots of action and an ok story. I liked it.

 

[okeefecl]

I watched Brotherhood of the Wolf last night. Oh my, it was BAD! Not one thing was really bad, but there were a bunch of little things that I disliked that all added up. The dubbing sounded like the people were reading in a phone booth and told to be emotionless. There was a lot of usage of the Matrix-like weird camera speeds and angles, not only for the action sequences, but for the WHOLE movie. The hero was bland and the heroine was annoying. I got so fed up with it that I fast-forwarded through the last 1 1/2 hours of the movie. After saying all this, I hope it's not someone's favorite movie here

we saw 8 mile last night, and it was alright, i enjoyed it.
