Flipping through my cable channels and this was just starting so decided to give it a view. Stars Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon. I liked it, the story was good, acting was good, but I thought both could have been alot better. The idea behind it was a little scary to me...of going off to war and coming home all psychologically twisted up. Probably won't watch it again but it was good one time around.

One of my favorite movies of all time. I can't even count the number of times I've seen it now. I <3 Jet Li.

How would you like your wires sir?

Oh I'd like them to ruin the point of a martial arts film.

Very good sir.

Saw it in theaters, it was alright. So much for Jet Li going out with a bang.

Miller&#x27;s Crossing (1990)

My favourite movie, absolutely love it.

"I've never met anyone who made being a son of a bitch such a point of pride."

Thinking of watching Mulholland Drive in a bit.

It's a black comedy. If you're too busy trying to tie together plotlines then you're not going to enjoy it because you have to relax to get the jokes.

I was having this problem the last few days, only the latest page for me (this very page) is 197. :confused: No problem at the moment though.

I've been planning to re-watch Fight Club recently. But I decided I'm going to read the book first, since I'm making an effort to read more and I think it's a book that would work for me. Then I'll re-watch it.

Last night I watched Rosemary's Baby.

I've not even maxed 100 yet. For us it's based on posts per page, for the 394 vs 393 who knows ...

You probably have the display length longer per page.

Sidewinder, what did you think of it?

I just saw Noroi - The Curse ..

http://chewygurl.files.wordpress.com...o3644f1yl4.jpg

It's about a paranormal researcher who researches strange occurrences which are of course related. A kidnapping, possession, ancient rituals, psychics and people dying in mysterious ways. The researcher has a camera man and they document everything that happens on film. Basically, the whole movie is shot like a documentary style film with interviews, shaky camera movement with bad quality and bits of TV edited in. The movie starts out with a mystery and the viewer comes along for the ride when the investigator tries to unravel it.

Of course, like they did with Blairwitch, the filmmakers here have tried to make a story that seems like it could be true. The people in the film are supposed to feel like real people rather than actors and of coruse the documentary style is supposed to give you a feeling of credibility. It actually works out quite well, very few of the people in the film actually feel like actors. There is one particularly annoying tin foil man that gets a lot of onscreen time which is perhaps the least credible and there are a couple of things people do here that might seem a little weird, but overall they did a very good job of making this seem "real".

The reason I wanted to watch it is I've read quite a lot of praise and I also read that this was going to be really scary. To me it was good, reasonably entertaining and the mystery was interesting. I didn't find the movie very scary - it's not really the kind of horror that scares me the most - so with that bit out of the picture, I thought the movie was a little slow-paced.

I'd say good, but not essential .. Those who enjoy mystery films should watch it. People who thought the Blairwitch Project was spooky might also like this if they like getting scared. The movies are quite different in everything except the way it tells the story (people filming what happens to them), but if that's what made Blairwitch work for you, it probably does the job just as well in this one if not better.

7/10!

I've rented Rosemary's Baby twice and had to return it before I could see it both times. Eventually I'll get to it.
