Great news, I loved the original series and I also found the episode of The Simpsons in which Homer is sent to the Island particularly funny! Definitely one of the better 'spoofing' episodes The Simpsons have created...

'Drag Me To Hell' is a god-damn good film, floating in a sea of horror plagued with sunken Hollywood remakes, and it also gives a revitalising kick to the comedy-horror genre.

Christine (Alison Lohman) is told to make the 'hard' decisions in her job at the local bank to seal a promotion, and the weathered old gypsy Mrs Ganush (Lorna Raver) is the unfortunate victim of this selfish act of personal greed and capitalism. But, she gets the last scratch (laugh, ruler, bite...) as she places a Lamia curse upon Christine. In three days she will be dragged into the depths of hell by an unspeakable evil force. What follows is a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat, over-the-top, suspense fuelled ride (reminiscent of Sam Raimi's early Evil Dead films) through ninety-minutes of scary, disgusting and at times quite humorous (anvil, anybody?) scenes that make 'DMTH' an enjoyable and impressive film.

Raimi does what he does best, by allowing the surroundings to come to life – the rattling of doors and windows, the use of shadows – he takes a hold of the age old cinematic device of keeping the vision and display of the Lamia at bay and allowing our minds to fill in the blanks. A perfect example is a scene in which Christine is tripped in her own bedroom by the forces beyond. How can you combat, defeat or avoid something if you don't know what, where or who it is. The tried-and-tested common horror conventions coupled with the slick editing of Bob Murawski (who virtually creates and sustains the menace of the penultimate scene), a solid central performance of Alison Lohman (who now knows the dangers of refusing a loan extension!) and the knowledgeable direction and experience of Sam Raimi makes 'Drag Me To Hell' one of the fair few horror films worth the admittance fee.

This film is nothing new, and nothing different. You will notice the subtle nods and homage's through the humour and disgusting inventiveness of Raimi to the various films of the same veneer in the 1980's and the early 1990's, but what makes this film stand-out is that it ticks all the right boxes in audience expectation. It will make you jump, keep you tense, release a giggle and squirm a little, and most importantly: it is fun.

Good luck Victor, the 'cheerleaders' one took me hours to get (!), but a part from that the rest are all pretty simple.

I like it. You have the /Film Cast, Trailers and other information down the left hand side for easy accessibility, while the central column of news, reviews, and other titillating stuff running down the middle. Good work fellas.

I agree to an extent toho, but no 'A Beautiful Mind' or 'Cinderella Man'?

I haven't got around to reading 'Angels & Demons' yet, but I found the film to be incredibly mediocre (ala 'Da Vinci Code'). Tom Hanks seems to be constantly set at form of facial expression and barely breaks out any dialogue unless it's because he's just looked at a map and seen how God created the recipe for Apple Pie. The rest of the cast has little character development and just fell like cannonfodder. The linear one-stop narrative (A+B+C+D, etc, etc) is quite boring and except for one scene, I found little to no tension of suspense in the film what-so-ever. There are many scenes which have the ability to create suspense, but Howard just cops out at the last minute to the classical close-up of Hanks burrowing his brows at the audience. I didn't like it particularly, my friend who has read the book absolutely hated the film, and another one of my friends really liked it.

I'd love to see this. Zhang Yimou is a brilliant director and an even better cinematographer and one of the few fifth generation Chinese artists to really carve a name for themselves at home and in the Western world. By the way if anybody hasn't heard of/seen much of Zhang, I'd suggest watching 'Yellow Earth' (1984), he was the cinematographer on this beautiful film and his three best films as a director (in my opinion); Red Sorghum, Raise The Red Lantern and The Story Of Qiu Ju.

I agree with Ryan that if you get the chance you should see 'In The Loop' which is an hilarious political satirical comedy.

Terrible idea in my opinion, but 'Crank - High Voltage' is a terrible movie that requires little concentration what-so-ever to even engage with.

Great news, I am and always will be a big fan of 'Foot Fist Way', the film really did manage to tickle my funny bone, so a film based around 'The Truck' would be awesome. And if Jody doesn't want to do a feature film on Chuck, he could always do a 45minute mockumentary film on the star of Kung-Fu pictures. That I would also accept. :D

@ABS: In 'Foot Fist Way' Jody Hill is Danny McBride's 'best friend', and he's also involved in one of the best scenes involving himself and two teenage boys in the car...
