...which states that any motion picture atached in any concrete way to the phrase 'Sean Pertwee' MUST BE utter shit. [see blue juice, shopping, soldier for expert confirmations of Pertwee's Corollary.]
i watched dog soldiers last night and it was fucking ace! in the postpostmodern age the concept of doing a movie 'homage' seems a bit weird, but this film affectionately tweaks bits of all the best movies of the last twenty years [predator, alien/s, the thing, the howling, the matrix, evil dead, silver bullett [featuring the disabled corey haim] and predator. and predator 2] into one of the most enjoyable and well-paced bmovies i've seen in ages.

c'mon gang let's all talk for ages about dog soldiers now!

Haven't seen Dog Soldiers yet - not out in the states and I couldn't make Roth do it when I was over there, but...

all the best movies of the last twenty years [predator, alien/s, the thing, the howling, the matrix, evil dead, silver bullett [featuring the disabled corey haim] and predator.

Best movies....Silver Bullet...best movies...Silver Bullet? Am I missing something?

Vid, dog soldiers has been on the sci fi channel about a billion times in the last week.
caught part of it, i kinda dug it. Gritty and more cyberpunk looking even though it is in the woods than most sci fi flics that ty for the gritty cyberage cityscape.
Where were they supposed to be that all those elite brits were creeping around in the woods with oodles of live ammo? i missed the begining.

Oh, and you said predator twice

scotland. i'm not sure there are any farmhouses in scotland that are four hours by road from a phone, but i'll let it slide.

and yes. the bit you missed is corey haim! in a fighting wheelchair! what more do you want? corey feldman dressing up as a large tortoise?

A naked, bald Sam Neill. That's all I have to say.

I saw it last night.

My reaction was "eh, seen it before".

Zone Troopers, that was a great movie.

(No, no it wasn't.)

Hm. Didn't know it had been on the telly here. Not that I ever flip by the Sci-Fi channel (or any other channel that isn't showing baseball or the Simpsons), but it's good to know. Thanks. Is the cut they're running trimmed for television, or is the Sci-Fi channel showing films uncut now?
