Well, the fact you're a million miles off the mark about Alien means that you must also be for every other film you review, so both
[Rec] must be the biggest turd the world has ever seen... Though that's what Taylor thinks, so it's a bit of a paradox...

What I don't understand is why they remade Rec in the first place, like, they released a few movies here that have subtitles and all that, so what's the difference? Heck, Pan's Labyrinth was very popular when it came out, and it's subtitled, so what was the purpose of spending all that money to remake it?
To be honest I don't think anything gets banned now, apart from maybe that game a couple years back.
I see a CGI film the same as any other film. What about Beowulf? Tripe film but amazing visual effects. It will be interesting to see what comes of Avatar but atm they are releasing nothing. I think one character pic has been leaked and that has been it, so yeah, intrigued.

I think films look better real-look at the Ailen series-in Aliens (Number 2), the Aliens are all real working models using hydrolics and pupets, or actors in costums, and they look so much better than the Aliens in the AVP films, and CGI doesn't look as good, you can't create an atmosphere or emotion so well, and real life will always look more real than CGI. Has to be done properly, not with CGI, one of the most important things is the acting and the emotion of the actors, and CGI means you can't see how much effort the actors have put in, emotion and effort makes films look so much better.

And what about the cost?
What do you think is cheaper?
-Designing a creature, building models, manufacturing the pieces for the robotics, ensuring the robotics work correctly, maintaining the robotics so that they're always working
OR
-Doing the same with a computer where no pieces are needed to be made or worked on?
With the improving computer technology, it's no wonder CGI is used more because of the lower cost it has, and look at Wall.E, so parts of it were very realistic... (bar the whole space thing, but the robots themsleves looked very real on occasion...)

Just got back from seeing Changeling.
What a brilliant film. Angelina Jolie was excellent, John Malkovich was superb and the story was so shocking yet engaging. I think the fact it says its based on real events adds a whole extra layer of how shocking some parts are. If you don't know about the film, the main story is about a mother who loses her child. The police tell her they have found her child but she tells them the kid they gave her is not hers. The police have none of it and make her out to be insane. I don't really want to say anything after that point because I feel I would give too much away. The film is quite long and it does seem to move very slowly near the beginning but then it really gets into the story and as you move on the plot thickens and becomes something I really wasn't expecting.
Rating: 4/5
