omg the cheese! THE CHEESE!

Jurassic park on 1/100th of the budget! Its hysterical, really.

I know it was meant to be serious, and John Rhys-Davies is a serious actor, but holy fuck. I cannot. stop. laughing. :)

David Warner's adorable though, as pompous pipe smoking Prof Summerlee, who changes his mind and becomes a good guy instead of an antagonist. Yes. In glasses. Yum.

Pure and utter cheese. Silly plot, rubbish acting, naff dinosaurs (its only a model. sssh!) and a music score that would make Murray Gold pull his hair out.

Worth seeing once, if only just for a laugh, yes.

God almighty is Bowie simply oooozing sex appeal in this movie. Woof.  Obv. at the height of his coke use, oh yes. He barely weighs 9 stone, i'd imagine.

I dont usually do androgyny, like Marilyn Manson never ever did anything for me at all. But Bowie? Mmmyes.

The movie aint half bad either. I love movies made the year I was born, like the Omen, and this. Gives me some insight into what the world was like when I came into it. Bit gratuitous in the floppy willies department, but still.

Ok whose fault is this? [profile] caribbean_moon, i think its yours.

I'm up to episode 4 of series 1, and LOVING IT. John Simm is amazing, I love the Dirty Harry style shootouts and dirty bent copper stuff, and its really a brilliant show.

Simm's kindof a rat-faced kind of guy, isnt he? But i loved his Master so much that i decided to check into Life on Mars, and its damn good.

Yes. And loving the music, hell yeah! And the accents, they're so Manchester/Salford /Teh North, its terrific.

It was run on tv here in the UK in 82, and then out in the US tv circuit in 84.

I liked it. Limited budget, and i wanted to see so much more of that animation sequence. I had the pleasure of already knowing the actor who played Henry Clerval from Doctor Who episode Black Orchid, which was groovy. A cast of stars.

The effects were cheesy, but come on, it was Yorkshire TV in the 80s - what do you expect?

David's monster had me in tears a few times. Might be coming down off drugs, lol, or it might be that he was genuinely moving and played a truly sympathy-evoking monster. Probably a bit of both.

I did laugh when Justine fell off the cliff, though! DOH.

It needed a further 30 minutes of length. So  much more could have been shown and explained. Grief for William and for Justine could have been properly shown. Etc.

But worth watching, and worth the fiver, even if my bloody sound keeps switching from hi-fi to regular...what do you expect from VHS?

 : The Boy Who Left Home To Find Out About The Shivers

Ha ha ha. David CAN DO COMEDY! He's a natural.

Peter "Ghostbusters2" MacNicol was hokey, Christopher Lee was funny, and the whole thing was completely and entirely over the top cheesy, but adorable in a quirky way. And the fx were pure cheese.

Worth watching, yes :D Once, anyways.

on Youtube... hurrah for youtube, gives me a delicious taster for what's to come! Hopefully tomorrow in the post!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RPWUNGHYPc - Carrie Fisher's accent is rubbish, lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImpKcDYy7B8 - YES. David's acting is dee-lish. Heartbreaking, really. A bit too articulate, really, but very good indeed.

Ok so I watched Michael Kohlhaas again. And enjoyed it perversely. Again.
Muhahahaha!!!  I am such a pain-kink. Squeal.

I'm buying Frankenstein right now, too :D

Its VHS, but its worth it. YES.  I NEED to see it.  I need ICONS, NOW.

You know, i dont understand a bleedin word of German overdubs.

But DAMN he's pretty. Oh so very pretty.

And he can ride a horse. *dies of squee*

I wouldn't mind being the chick walking on his back either, except i might break it, lol

Mmm that gorgeous flat tummy of his. And those shoulders. And those long delicious fingers. And those ears.

And those trousers should have been illegal. Yes.

Ah, a movie I havent seen in a long time indeed. Decided to watch it while my dinner settles.

I dont like psychobabble TomKat Cruise Holmes or the Bradgelina entity or what they've done with their lives, but hot damn i love a Neil Jordan movie.

Mmm. Men in billowy shirts and waistcoats. *thud*

And i love Stephen Rea, yes.

Perhaps later I'll rewatch The Company of Wolves.

Made for TV all right, but a very interesting fusion of the Victorian and the modern.
The music was cheesy but Valiant was cute so it made up for it. Think i've seen him elsewhere before, can't place him though.

Wanted Martin (David Warner)  to faint a few more times. Yes. Loved seeing him suffer. He was gorgeous, utterly.

Otherwise unremarkable made-for-tv movie.
