Agreed fully with Dowd on The Exorcist. Very well made but not scary to me in the least.

The Witch Who Came From The Sea is fantastic and massively underrated. Very dreamlike and surreal in the best way.

"Billy. Billy. The drinks are on…(motions)…the house."

The pervasive influence of Joseph Campbell and the hero myth stuff is almost as damaging to original stories as "write what you know".

Silent Hill is not a great film but it at least has some excellent visuals, which is surprisingly hard for any video game adaptation to accomplish.

Damn, I was hoping this was coming out this fall as it looks awesome. March is too far away!

"Meesa has a sun roof."

Indeed. I wish Netflix would pick up on this trend.

Yep, I don't think he's capable of making a movie in any other way than how he makes his movies, which means he's ill-fitted for any work-for-hire project and as such (as you noted), the fanboys would be unhappy with it.

Sinister shits the bed once those ghost children with the crackle skin show up and whisperdance in the hallways. It's like some high school theater director suddenly showed up to take over the film.

2 is the best FD for sure, but I like aspects of all of them. It's such a fun premise that I wish they'd just keep churning out more of them.

This reflects a shallow understanding of Tarantino's talent. Not that he's the deepest guy in the world, but he's a bit more than filthy dialogue.

Just thought of this and glad I scrolled down to see you posted it. Such an unforgettable opening scene.

I'm in the minority that slightly prefers the sequel over the original. It has several brilliantly executed sequences and all of the family stuff really gets to me. The scene where Robert Carlyle kills his wife is maybe the most upsetting scene in any zombie movie.

Glad to see Them on here - that's a very underrated horror movie all around. That opening is really, really scary.

One of the things I love about this place is usually a week does not go by without someone making a Bebe's Kids reference.

"Excuse me, sir, a what?"

"How's it going, Eisenhower?"

Late Thursday: Moonlight - yep, as good if not better than you've heard. People are going to be talking about this movie a lot in the coming months and it's all well-deserved.

Saw them both this weekend and they both immediately shot up to the top of my best of the year. Moonlight is as good as you've heard but I was surprised at how great The Handmaiden was - it uses both narrative twists and general tawdriness towards progressive, feminist ends in ways I did not expect. And it's…
