This isn't an anti-CGI rant, I'm all for the evolution of special effects, but we are possibly spoiled now by how much of an insight into films we have on a daily basis.In all honesty, when were you last scared by anything in cinema? Disturbed or unsettled maybe (like when watching Martyrs), but actually scared?
I actually remember watching the first Terminator, and finding the red eyed T-800 skeleton very scary, especially when it's dragging itself along desperately in the final scenes, in an attempt to kill Kyle and Sarah. Maybe T2 changed all that when it made Arnie the good guy?
In terms of the science of robots and how technology is evolving so fast, I think that the concept of a robot being self aware IS very scary, and with the right screenplay and director can still be done effectively.

I also didn't mind Powder Blue, and seeing Biel's nude scenes in context actually changes the feel of the scene. It's still very hot though, even if her being a trashy stripper is a little unbelievable!

Still, maybe a half decent Ghostbusters film is better than none at all? And at least we get to hear that theme tune again. :)

And yes, French horror is doing very well at the moment. Inside, Switchblade Romance and Martyrs are some of the most brilliant and polarizing horror films of recent years.

Adam and Joe are brilliant - the best thing on British radio. And Adam Buxton's YouTube stuff is ace too. Bring back the Adam and Joe Show!
