 Good man Snake!

Yeah I didn't understand The Fish's lack of any contribution. Especially when he has been in docs in the past in relation to The Matrix and Apocalypse Now. Strange...

I thought the American Werewolf... doc was good but Never Sleep Again knocks spots off it. Given that An American Werewolf... is one of my fave films it goes to show that a movie - or series of movies - don't have to be classics in the traditional sense to have awesome, in depth docs made about them.

Imagine a Doc of this magnitude on the Rocky movies? The Superman sequels? The Die Hard series? I know that Rocky has a fantastic talking heads documentary that about 90 minutes long, and involves almost everybody, but I want the same kind of detail and indepth chat from those who were there on the following five movies. Imagine getting Mr. T, Bridget Neilson, Sage Stallone, and Antonio Tarver dishing the dirt on relationships/ego on set, what it was like working alongside relatives in front of camera, or how you brought your own boxing experiences to the movie? But that's just me! And imagine the same with the Die Hard movies?? McTieran, Harlin, Rickman, Jackson, Bedelia, Smith, De Bont. Fuck it, someone find Karl too!!

There are so many excellent movie docs out there on what are very popular movies. Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Halloween, and Dawn of the Dead have all been given the just and proper treatment, and sometimes, certainly for me, the enjoyment of watching some of these docs can outstrip the movies themselves. And I generally find that docs made by the fans of the movies are the best. Those that are over polished and thouroughly edited of real gossip are best left to view on E! Channell!

 Watched Never Sleep Again last night. Boy its long but brilliant too, really in depth and comprehensive. After watching it I had to youtube Dokken's Dream Warriors! Proper 80's hair metal.

 Damn! That's a shame. He couldn't have been all that old either. I think he was one of the few "henchmen" in these kind of movies that really shone through. He felt like a genuine threat to McClane and was a great presence on the screen.

RIP.

 If New Line or whoever came to you about doing a NOES reboot how would you do it? I got the blu ray set for Xmas and after rewatching all 7 i keep thinking about how much GREAT potential there is for a NOES reboot. Now before you all say "that already happened and it sucked!", i really like the 2010 remake, really like it! However i think they went the wrong way and just gave us more of the same. The concept of teens sharing similar nightmares and not wanting to go to sleep as they know they could get killed in their dreams is so ripe and fantastic. Hell i'd be up for a NOES reboot that doesn't even feature the Freddy character!

 I really liked the remake too DK. Jackie Earl Haley was excellent and the whole re-interpretation of Freddy was brilliant. I also like Freddy V's Jason

See my previous response.

New Line rebooted the franchise a couple of years ago and it was a bust on pretty much every level. The franchise has had a good run, but now it is time to move on and find something else.

 Re-watched Never Sleep Again over yesterday and today and its given me an itch to go and watch the whole set of films again from start to finish, although I know I'll probably give up after 3 or 4.

There is certainly a dip in form after part 4 in my opinion. But there are enough decent ideas and "moments" after in the later movies to keep watching it through. Get it done!!

This for me is the best of the series however I do love Nightmare 1 and 3 as well. Nighmare 2 was crap. Nightmare 4 and 5 were ok. Freddy's Dead is  good in places. Freddy vs Jason is great and the remake sucked big time.

Didn't like this when I first saw it years ago, thought it was boring, but I was younger then, and didn't get it, but watched it more recently, and think it's one of Craven's best films.

Glad to see that Never Sleep Again is getting a UK release on 9th July, been waiting for it for ages.

I really like New Nightmare (I rate it third in the Nightmare series) but I think it could've done with a few more inventive kills (we only get two deaths) and a pacier mid section. And I'm not sure about the way they changed Freddy's face and claws.

 Bought the 8 disc dvd box set today. I know in my last post I was getting it in august, however...

I got the one with the mainly white front cover with freddy peaking through the gap he's tirn in the cover with his clawed hand... The extra sound aplenty, but does anyone know if they're any good? Probably wont get to break this bad boy open till next week, or week after...

Only cost me £11 from HMV. Down from £15. Not bad.
