Shutter - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482599/
Yet another Asian horror story remade in the USA, watch out for some recognised cliches from the likes of the Ring etc., I liked the ending though.

Transformers - after reading reviews about this I finally got round to watching it.

Agree about the ending , just a pity they couldn`t have played up that creepy aspect of the film more

Ghost Writer (aka Suffering Man's Charity) - 2007

Just watched 2001 Space Odyssey collectors edition digital remaster.

Superb photography, slowly building doom, terrific use of music by Richard Strauss and Johann Strauss II

This is everything that Star Wars isn't.

Don't know why I've been watching older films lately, but Chinatown came on and I had too watch it, forgot how good it is. As for Faye Dunnaway

Only two things spoilt it for me , the endless scene where the guy who`s dressed as a girl dances while his sister stares at him and stares and him and stares at him . Also the maddening use of unconvincing digital blood effects . I can see what the director was thinking i suppose as it must have sped up production a bit , still i thought it looked bleeding (Excuse the pun) awful and detracted from the films reality no end

Was the main reason i couldn`t watch the repeat last night , pity about the pathetic splatter as overall i liked it .

Dead Birds - an odd ghostly little number set during the American Civil War as Confederate soldiers stay in a haunted house.

I literally had to do a doubletake there, as I thought you were talking about 2010, the sequel to "2001 - A Space Odyssey".

I just had a thought. It's not that they've run out of ideas, although they save a fortune on scriptwriters,
I'm thinking the reason for the plethora of recent remakes is that they are running out of new titles!!!
Could it be in the not too distant future, all films will have just numbers for titles

I have read about 2012. Being a fan of armaggeddon themes I'll be sure to check it out ... hopefully before 2010.
