The Thing (2 December)
Paranoid prequel to John Carpenter's original '80 horror, with Death Proof hottie Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Warrior hardman Joel Edgerton stuck in Antarctica with a 'thing' that invades warm bodies, pretends to be human and splats out in mega-gore glory. Chilly, bloody but not too brainy.
Perfect for: getting the chills indoors

@clem
hollywood ran out of originality a long time ago, all they do now is plunder original european cinema for ideas. Even the Coen brothers do it now , what is the world coming to.

To many films seemed to be made using a checklist.
cute annoying child.................................................................check
annoying teenager for that key demographic....................check
ethnic minority in a positive role..........................................check
british villian ............................................................................check
big star in lead role(so suspence lost because we know they wont die).............check
clumsy tacked on romantic interest.....................................check
any possible controversial elements from original book, film, comic removed(lovely bones, let the right one in, his dark materials, the colour purple, hellraiser and many more)....check

Another Earth, original idea? Surely the same premis as Gerry and Sylvia Andersons 'Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun'?

Ther's a lot of talent around its just poor scripts most of the time.

I hope the film is as good as the book as the book is amazing(the girl with the dragon tattoo). The previous film about the book was ok.

Looks like some good films around this christmas. It s just escapist entertainment reardless of script quality . and still a remarkably cheap evening out for two people . Where we live it s only about 16 pounds for both of us to go out to a film . car park is free and we can take some cheaper sweets with us rather than buy them there.

another earth, Terra Nova in film and probably just as bad

Looking forward to girl with dragon tattoo.
there does seem to be a lot of bad script's about. & big acting name's(That you could useally associate with quality) putting there names to movies & appearing in it for a few scenes chaseing the buck. The greedy B'stards not botherd about there Art then. it's just "Show me the money"

some good news though.....no massively overated james cameron film.
Be honest ..does anyone really think titanic was a good film?...Watch the posideon adventure(original version) If you want to see a quality ship disaster film.

Apart from Puss in Boots i can see me not watching any of these films.
Now why can't they show Celebrity Masterchef from previous competitions and to round it off some Foyles War from season 1 to the present.
Now that would make a superb Christmas.
