--> Low Budget Sci-Fi "GEMS" !!! <--

loved sunshine ! its not really low budget enough but it is a gem !

also watched the american astronaut again today definitely improves on repeat viewing also perfect to just have on while you work

i remember that show and rewatched it last year its occasionally brilliant but most of the time its just too fucking oldschool/medievil

... also i don't get the characters ... i would have stayed at that french vinyard with the 20 or so attractivee virgin teenage girls ... whats wrong with those guys !

i think the books are actually currently being remade into a trilogy of movies

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0441811/

there were on and off rumors about this for a while !

( gotta love the music though !!!! )

okay i just saw this:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1470827/

at the fantasy film festival here in hamburg ( that they seem to have bi annual now )

and i LOVED it the director was present and gave a small qa after wards which made the whole experience even more enjoyable/exciting i must admit ! for the first time ever i felt that the clapping at the end of a good movie ment something

i am not gonna say anything about the plot i think the less you know about the movie the better lets just say its not what you would expect ! (dont go an expect an action movie)

i had a quick chat with the director after the movie and squeezed out of him that he used 3d studio max and did all of the fx shots himself * i was super stunned when he said that* he dodged the question about the budget in the qa but its rumored that its roughly 15k pounds !

highly recommended i you like one or more of these films:

el mariaci

the abyss

jurassic park

primer

jarhead

district 9

stalker

cloverfield

war of the worlds ( the spielberg one ! ... this movie does what spielberg version attempted and failed at ! )

go see it !

i saw outland was not too impressed ( it influences moon quit heavily though with the whole Damocles sword / count down until the cleaner ship arrives thing)

alpha ville went to my to do list !

Space Truckers, Cheesy but still a favorite of mine.The Last Star Fighter

Videodrome - Very weird movie and great gore, but has, from what I can remember, a lot of weird creative stuff. I need to watch this one again.

Explorers - ood family film. really good up until the end, then its gets super gay.

Screamers

There are a bunch more I cannot find atm.

One I am looking for in particular is similar to the movie Virus(1998) in the way that the aliens use mechanical items and human body parts to construct themselves, but after an attack on earth (in some corridor thing) they go to the moon and discover old ruins and what not, forget the rest. It was a cool sci-fi movie though. If anyone may know the name, please let me know.

Found it! I'm not sure if its the same movie your are thinking of, but I know that these robotic/aliens use humans as spare parts.

MoonTrap (1989)

Leviathan (1989) - I really enjoyed this one. It has a great cast of actors set designs and the environments are amazing. The creature in the movie reminds me a bit of the alien from 'The Thing'.DeepStar Six (1989) - This is another underwater sci/fi thriller similar to Leviathan but not half as good. It also has really cool set design and environments.

huh both those movies are from the same year as the abyss ? so strange how holy wood makes the same movies in parallel all the time ... i would have figured these 2 were directly derivative of the abyss if i hadnt checked the release dates ...

i haven't actually seen this but these old school trailers heavily remind me of this trailer

a personal favorite of mine:
