State of Emergency - 2011
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1705134/

I do try to watch mid budget "some guys got it together to make a film" type films from time to time. Zombies/rage virus the order of the day but nowhere near as good as something like 28 days later, and not much in the way of action (instead it aims for, and largely misses, being a character study). Action was... for as sparingly as it was used then not bad but also had some serious flaws.
Technically speaking... actually not bad. Script was barely passable (seen far worse from far bigger films) and I am not sure if it was ADRed (dialogue recorded in post) but if you imagine a bad one of those then yeah.
I can't say would have done better as a short story as there would have been even less characterisation and if your film is kind of supposed to be that...

So yeah don't do it. Not one of those surprisingly good ones, not one of the so cheesy it is worth it ones either. Not really offensive to any of my sensibilities either.
 
Enemy Mine manages the impressive task of being ambitious, cheap and dreadful all at the same time. It also, despite being produced in 1985, looks like it was made in 1960. Watching this without any prior film knowledge, you would never guess that this was released into a world where Star Wars already exists.

ooowww you'd like those also. :wink: Hackshaw first, then Fury
Forgot to report I watched Hacksaw. Good film, even greater story though, immensely inspiring. Good performances throughout also, I really didn't Andrew Garfield as Spiderman but he was real good here. Even Vince Vaughan put in a good performance!

Will get to Fury eventually!

Saw the film that kicked Babylon 5 off. Had missed it before starting the series as part of my little foray into old sci fi shows ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/re-watching-some-classic-sci-fi-shows.580012/ )
Babylon 5: The Gathering
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106336/
I would almost suggest watching it as a later show, and was not half as confusing as the time I started on the new battlestar galactica without seeing the mini film thing that kicked it off.
Anyway clearly a pilot type deal rather than something that could comfortably be standalone (though I have certainly seen far worse) but did well enough for establishing a setup.

I don't know that I would call it a thing but "got zombies, stick it up then" is a thing for me. However this was neither as surprisingly quality as Dead Snow (or quality insanity as the sequel) or as absolutely nuts as something like the Bigfoot vs Zombies. However 2011 film probably meant they wanted a more human interaction thing (this would have been around the time people were still mildly optimistic about The Walking Dead*, and had not yet suffered the farm series) with some zombies milling around.

*I was out after the otherwise spectacular pilot bit had wrapped up and definitely after the canned the original guy.

At least it wasn't diary of the dead though

Are you nutz?! I can't say what I watched last?! Especially on here. You can't say the title of a gay porn movie on here. sheesh :blush:

I still love "the walking dead". Seen dead snow, resident evil, 28 weeks later, but the one that started me on them was "Dawn of the Dead"
 
The Colossus of Rhodes (1961)

View attachment 199192

Classic "Sword-and-Sandal" Movie based on the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colossus_of_Rhodes_(film)

Re - watched it today/yesterday on Amazon Prime.
2011 released as "complete" Version.
Based on the Italian Cinema Version - around 20 Minutes new synchronized (was ok)
Approximately 143 Minutes instead of 101 Minutes (E-M-S DVD Release)
Story was now better understandable and,of course,complete.
Unfortunately the Picture Quality was "not so good" (this f*****g BluRay "Blue Filter" on Night Scenes,wrong/smaller Screen Views/Cutouts mostly on the right Side....) *sigh*

But it was ok for 2,99 € Euros.:rofl2:
