Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

This may have been made way beck in 1962 but it still has a cruel streak that is unsettling. Part thriller, part black comedy and part melodrama. The story of the malice that two sisters who are retired actress' wreak on each other. A classic and Bette Davis is stunning in it.

Deja Vu.

I am not a huge fan of the director Tony Scott, his flashy visuals usually outstay their welcome. In this time travel thriller he has played these down and delivered a more coherent if far fetched film. Denzel Washington is an officer who can go back in time to solve a crime. The supporting cast is completely wasted but it has some good set peices and passed a couple of hours.

I really wanted to see that.

I'm seeing 30 days of night this weekend. Here's to hoping it doesn't suck balls.

The premise is brilliant for 30 days. As you say, let's hope it's the bollocks.

Watch either SUSPIRIA or SANTA SANGRE and then change your mind about what a horror film can be.

Both of those were great. I'd recommend A Tale of Two Sisters as well.

I think the last film I saw was He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not at Sarah-Wesley's recommendation, it was very good. I also watched Stroszek which was heart-warmingly depressing.

i'm glad someone finally watched it, I've been trying to get people to watch it for 2 years. Did you expect the twist when the point of view changed? My dad said he suspected it, I don't see how one would of know though.

No I didn't see it coming I didn't really know where the hell they were going to take it (I half-expected a Run Lola Run sort of thing) so it was a nice change from a lot of the more predictable twists you run into.
