When in the mood, they're great but watching a Christmas movie any other time of the year is just plain weird, which is why I cannot watch these movies:
Die Hard
Die Hard 2
Trading Places
Home Alone
Home Alone 2
Elf
This is nae shite, I enjoy these movies, I really do but if I was watching them and a suggestion of Christmas comes up, it makes me slightly uncomfortable. I also feel that Die Hard may be the greatest Christmas story ever told, perhaps even better than the story of Jesus being born! Cause let's be honest, there weren't any machine guns in that nor was there any swearing and angry Germans.
Not unlike my last post with music but why are movies better when you watch them on tv rather than on dvd?
I feel more urged to watch a shit movie on tv than I do to watch a good movie on dvd, it simply could be that I'm a lazy shite at times who doesn't mind doing things for other people but one who ultimately cannot do anything for himself.
Talking about watching movies on tv, remember when you used to tape movies and watch them back? The best moment of your life when you were 9 was realising that when you asked your parents to tape terminator, they done it and paused and started when the adverts came, honestly, nothing has came close to beating that feeling of relief knowing that you don't need to take 5seconds out your busy shedule to press the fast foward button.

The Amityville Horror
It's the scariest fucking film I have ever seen and I don't know why. Everyboy else found it shite and boring. I think it has something to do with Ryan Reynolds. As I stated in one of the reasons of why Blade 3 was a poor second sequel, you can not take this man seriously which is why when he starts doing freaky thing, it is genuinly scary. It would be like a man in the army looking at a monkey holding a grenade. I assume people in the army see grenades often but because a monkey has one, it's scary.
Not only that, but it's a really jumpy movie, you have two types of scary films; One, where you jump out your seat and when you leave the cinema and look at your seat, you see where your arse was because of the spilled popcorn, case in point The Unborn. The plot was ridiculious, your twin wants to be born but because your gran was a jew in a concentration camp and her twin died, his spirit now wants to take over your body. It's stupid yet provides cheap thrills so it's good. Then you have your complete mind fuck movies, like saw.
Saw is a mind fuck and at some point during watching it if you listen carefully, you'll hear somebody say...'wow, how fucked up is the guy who made these things up?' And they say it like it's their idea and nobody has ever thought of it. It's sexist too, a woman could easily have thought that shit up.
Anyhow, The Amityville Horror is kind of a mix of both. Its jumpy and a mind fuck and I have only watched it 2 and a half times. Once in the cinema where I felt so uncomfortable I wanted to leave. Another time at a gilfriends to show how scary it was. Then I tried to watch it myself, got half way through and really could not handle it any more.
Really, I think the key here to making a scary film is to pout somebody unsuspecting in the main role. If you put Adam Sandler as a cazy guy, you would shit buckets, haha.
If my dad was to answer the question of what is my favourite movie, he's probably say 'end of days' Which was a kind of scary movie, I'll grant it that, especially when you are 12. But that's not the reaosn why I turned it off when watching it with him. The reason being, I knew a massive orgy was coming up and watching a sex scene with your parents that young is just weird and they make stupid jokes to make it even more akward. In this orgy, 3 people turned into two people, it was very sexual and very confusing. Not unlike what I'd imagine it would be like to be gay and 14.
End of days is actually the only film where Big Arnie dies and he even commits suicide in, that's how hard he is to kill. The only person storng enough to kill Arnie is infact....Arnie.
That sounded a bit like a Chuck Norris fact there but Chuck Norris is a dick because I think he sued the guy who made up Chuck Norris facts .com. He actually turned 69 yesterday, yup he's that old. I had assumed he wa slike 55 or something and not a single grey hair in that beard of his.

Terminator & Other Movies.
I think the new terminator movie is going to be fucking amazing. I can't even remember the last time I seen a trailer and thought to myself: 'this movie is going to be tits'
I actually reckon that even if this movie was shit, I'd still love it.

That's the trailer there btw.
Now, what I love about Terminator: Salvation and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (that's a proper mouthful) is that they both pretend that Terminator 3 never really happened which in my honest opinion is a smart move, because it was nae shite (I'm hoping if I say nae shite enough, it'll start to come back as an acceptable saying to use in daily conversation)
Terminator 3 was bad for many reasons; The fact that John Connor was being played by somebody who reminded me of Will Young, product placement, that it tried to be funny, that the ginger burd annoyed me, that the terminator burd annoyed me or maybe very possibly that it suffered from second sequel syndrome.
Beverly hills cop 1 and 2. Both good and great films. The third one was terrible. The godfather, Shrek, Back to the future, they all suffer from it. There is another trilogy there that I can't think of at the moment and it is doing my tits in. Star Wars! but that's not it either.
It's a dangerous place to go with any set of movies. I'm actually shitting bricks at the prospect of Ghostbusters 3.
update: I found out the other shitty third film. Spiderman 3, it was awful. Something about watching the retard who plays Peter Parker thinking he is a stud, makes me never want to go to a nightclub again, in the suggested idea that a geek has watched this movie and thought; 'Thats the life for me....' Fucking awful.#
update 2: Turns out, the actual movie I was thinking of was infact Blade 3 and for very good reason. Infact 2 very good reasons, no 3.
1) Ryan Reynolds, you cannot take this man seriously, ever. Even if he was built like a brick shit house, you cannot take this man seriously.
2) Triple H did not pedigree anybody.
3) You didn't see the woman's vagina which had fangs on it. Not even on deleted scene was that there, which is disappointing because Ryan Reynolds could have easily made this film into a comedy and this would have been the cherry on top (No pun intended, LOL!!11)
