COMING SOON

On the subject of upcoming movies, I see that they're in post-production on a Westernized version of the Japanese horror film, "Dark Water". which I caught a year or two ago.  I loved it.  Very creepy, haunting film; but the whole time I'm thinking: "How long before Hollywood gets ahold of this one?".  Apparently, not long at all.

I've heard that Martin Scorcese is going to do a Hollywood remake of the amazing Hong Kong film 'Infernal Affairs' that starred Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung.  The remake is supposed to have Brad Pitt, and will be called something stupid like, 'Gangs of Hong Kong' (please tell me this is WRONG!).

I haven't seen the original Dark Water yet, but I have it recorded somewhere.  If there's a Hollywood remake, that will be fun, if Ring and The Grudge are anything to go by.

anyone seen or seen the preview for a movie about survival? I think it's probably a foriegn pic since the trailer has no english (or talking period which is usually a sign it's subtitled). Young girl looking terrified, some guy ...a premise of the victim fighting back and a scene in the woods that looks like the woman is about to open a can of whoopass on someone holding a chainsaw

Susan ,I think you mean "High Tension" it is a foregin flim. Its pretty dam good. I have it on dvd but I am thinking about seeing it in theater anyway.

What language Rich? Is it more of a horror or thriller? Previews looked interesting

[BeyondTheGrave]

Its a french movie and its more of a slasher/horror flick. Its has a simple plot two girls go on vacation at one of the girls house. Some crazy guy goes to the house and kills the family and steals one of the girls. Now the other girl has to track him down. The scenes are gory and has a nice twist ending.

Oh one more thing Susan, for the release here in the states one mintue of the goriest scence was taken out to knock down from NC-17 to R. It might not be a big deal but if you want to see the whole thing track it down on E-bay.

I was in the break-room at work the other night, and someone had left a copy of a magazine called COSMO TEEN on the table.  So, I'm flipping through it absentmindedly, when I run into a capsule 'review'(more like an ad) for "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants".  Sez it's about a pair of jeans that fits each member of this group of teenaged girls perfectly.  Riveting(get it?).  Anyway, suddenly, I'm intrigued about this movie.  ;-)
