Three Edgar Allan Poe stories in one, starring Vincent Price in all three, and Basil Rathbone and Peter Lorre in one each. Brilliant acting all round. I really enjoyed it.
Ted.
I found it funnier than I thought I would tbh. I did feel some of the humour was slightly forced (The scene where he farted in the restaraunt at the business men) but overall brilliant.
I also loved how unlike most comedy villains Giovanni Ribsis character was pretty menacing.
Wasn't overly impressed with the first one but this was excellent. The one liners are ace and the action scenes are fabulously OTT. Oh, Chuck Norris too
8/10
Killer Joe
Too meandering for my taste. The ending (or lack of it) was hugely disappointing. Oh, and I'll never look at a KFC the same way again

One of the standout sequences for me was him dancing to Tiffany 'I think we're alone now' while his son played Hide n Seek with Ted, great character. Surprisingly funny film.
What a piece of garbage! I remember seeing the trailer for it a couple of months ago and it looked interesting. Lo and behold the film aired last night on one of the cable TV channels (HDnet). It was rubbish.

Second viewing and it's still, for me, one of the best comic book adaptations for the cinema.

Quite an enjoyable film, not what I expected tbh.

Stunning location and impressive cinematography. Shame about the thin story, annoying central characters, iffy acting and ultimately lame 'menace'.

“The movie never changes. It can’t change. But every time you see it, it’s different because you’re different. You see different things.”
10/10
Average at best. Stupid finale.
Saw Django Unchained too. That was equally long, but good. 8/10.
old film, and didn't look as crisp as I had hoped on blu. I had to check it WAS a blu.
subtitles, and listened to directors commentary, which was very interesting.

I cannot watch that video in the same way any more :eek:
