Really? Although well shot and acted, I thought this was barely a step away from an average T.V special and twist aside, quite forgettable.

Stereo, I'm completing my Cronenberg.

It was a pretty funny movie, I liked it okay.
:pimp:

Black Swan.

Absolutely awesome, the cinematography was beautiful and Natalie Portman's performance was mindblowing ('spesh the scene with Mila.. daaaaaamn). That's all that needs to be said.

The Kids Are Alright

This was a pretty good film. I went into thinking it was drama heavy but it was light hearted with some humor here and there sprinkled throughout. I feel like the last line of the movie before the credits wraps it up very well.

ok so this is the first time i've watched it since i first saw it back in 2002....and i honestly thought i may not enjoy it on a second viewing (i loved the first viewing).....but it really is just a well done story

Yeah, I really enjoyed that one too. I haven't seen it for quite a while myself though, so may have to get round to it again.

I have a feeling that it's gonna be like the Sixth Sense or Usual Suspects, ie one of those where knowing the twist at the end makes repeated viewings a wee bit laboured...

Yeah, I felt somewhat the same. Good mystery with a nice twist, but in the end, the film failed to really entertain me. If I wanna watch a ghost mystery involving a house and some kids, I'd rather rewatch The Orphanage. ;)

last movie in the cinema was Little Fockers - crap

last DVD was Scott Pilgrim - brilliant

As for The Others, I've seen it when it came out not knowing anything about it or about the twist. I just knew it was supposed to be some haunting house story. Yeah, it's just a mystery/thriller, but, imo, one executed with an inspiration. Compared to many similar films I've seen, new and old, this one breaths with suspense that goes beyond cheap tricks, but steams from the characters. I've seen this film couple times more after I already knew the twist and it holds up every time. That's because, to me, this film is very emotional without being sentimental. It's a horror mixed with grief and sorrow and with no resolution. I can't think of a worse hell for Nicole Kidman's character.
