Seedpeople (1992) - Full Moon's take on the Invasion of the Body Snatchers story. A guy goes to a small town to see if he can dig up the remains of a meteorite that fell there hundreds of years ago. Of course he stays at a bed and breakfast run by his ex-girlfriend and her daughter. The daughter thinks the housekeeper is a monster, and it's not long before they notice various townsfolk getting together in the woods at night and digging something up. This was okay; I've never been much of a fan of the whole body snatchers story, I guess I just don't find it too interesting. At least this threw in some extra stuff, like the body snatched people could turn into cool and cheesy monsters. The characters were likable enough I guess. A pleasant enough waste of 90 minutes. 3/5.

I watched this about a week ago. I was very glad that the waterpark-teen-beachparty area of the plot of short and ended quickly, no sense in letting your food get cold. Really liked the robot crocodile. 

Nero's slaves bashed....

Hmm...looks promising! 

Some actors can nail it really well, while others sound rather silly when they try to emulate it. Australian actors like Hugh Jackman, and British actors like Daniel Day-Lewis, are adept at American accents. Day-Lewis especially, who has gone so far as to regionalize his American accents in his movies.

Thanks, Indy.  I saw the trailer some months ago, but dismissed as 'yet another vampire movie'.  And being a fan of vampire movies, that is saying something.  The trailer makes it seem like it is very well shot.  I'll give this a go.

I first heard of this guy when I was 19.
I was working at ASAP Printing in Houston, when we got this last minute rush order to print up these posters.

I had no idea who this guy was, but I thought they were pretty cool, so I stole one off the reject pile.

It was a painting of a younger Mandela, with blood & sweat dripping from his brow. The background was the outline of Africa shaped from barbed wire that was consumed in flames, with the words FREE MANDELA written in flames (though, I can't remember if it was on the top or bottom).

My Mom picked me up from work, & one the way home, told me who this guy was.
When I got home, I flicked on the news, & GUESS WHAT?
The client still had to pay for them, though, they sat on the OUTGOING shelf for a pretty long time.
