Upcoming Movies Thread

[1AZRAEL1]

My thoughts were that they were dead? what did you guys think?

Well one theory is they are dead, hence why Chris wakes up and walks around almost as if he feels there presence.

Another theory I have heard is they are still stuck in the Silent Hill world and can't escape.

Can't recall the others off the top of my head, but there are a number of them.

Oh Wow!
MGM is coming to a close? that's pretty sad actually as it is one of the single most Iconic Hollywood studios of all time! I guess the GFC is finally encroaching on the American Movie Industry now eh?

GFC, plus all the people who illegally download movies these days. You know who you are.

Ah yes! I prefer that one.

OK, going to my local blockbuster tomorrow, reccomend me a few great horror movies!

The MGM of today has little in common with the MGM of the 'golden years' (20's to 50's).

I don't. I just get them off someone who does

[1AZRAEL1]

I don't download movies, I just don't see why we should have to wait weeks, and even months, for it to be released here. Movies and all other media should be released same date globally. I just think it's crap.

Like the movie Solomon Kane, released last year in UK cinemas, but here in Australia we have not had a whiff of it.

Phantasm (and sequals), Bubba Ho Tep

Can't think of many more off the top of my head, best to ask Fatbot about that, he loves his horror movies.

I'd be very impressed to see the figures that suggest that the downfall of MGM is purely due to the downloading of their films.
I think it is a very uninformed opinion to suggest such a thing, which is exactly what I stated when the author of a story on news.com.au tried to suggest that the only reason a Heavy Metal band got the No.1 spot on the Aria charts for a particular week/month was only because every other artists songs were being illegally downloaded!

Like others, I think that it is pathetic that Australia, 9 times out of 10, gets things up to half a year later than anyone else but it is my personal view that if it is ripped of HDTV - then it is just the same as recording on a VCR.

I don't condone Piracy, nor do I promote it as I disagree with downloading Ripped DVDs and I stopped downloading Mp3s almost a decade ago because I came to prefer buying CDs and paying the Bands their due.
Whilst I have less of a problem if people download things and pass them around to their friends, compared to a person who downloads them, packages them and then sells them as the real things - That I believe is outright theft and should carry the maximum penalty.

Phantasm (and sequals), Bubba Ho Tep

BubbaHotep is more of a Dark Comedy IMO, but is an insanely awesome movie none the less!

Here is a couple Gantz, off the top of my head:

The Orphnage
The Graveyard Shift
Pet Sematary
HellRaiser (1, 2 and/or 3)
Bram Stoker's: Dracula
Child's Play (1, 2, and/or 3)
The Amityville Horror (Remake)

Dead Silence
Friday The 13th (Any)
Halloween (Not 3 or H2O)
Nightmare on Elm Street (Any)
Freddy vs. Jason
Evil Dead (1 and/or 2 - Army of Darkness is more Black Comedy IMO)
Exorcist (Original or Prequel)
House of 1000 Corpses
The Devil's Rejects
13 Ghosts
Ghost Ship
Jeepers Creepers (1 and/or 2)

I've got plenty more but that should start you off, that and:

best to ask Fatbot about that, he loves his horror movies.

I'm also curious to see what Fatbot can list as I dig Horror movies!
