Ummm.... best to stick with the books. It started out ok but then ending was ???? Susan Sarandon was horrible. Must have watch the Wizard of Oz too many times. "I'll get you my pretty!"

One of my favourite films - and I agree about Freddy! I thought I was alone in that ... my friend said I was crazy...

I think it's terrific, too. I like the movies that Merchant Ivory have done.

The Exorcist is on now. I've seen it, but I don't want to see it again.

Have you seen it? I don't know what was so scary about it, but scary it was, IMO.

No, I haven't. I don't really like that kind of movie.

Saw Underpants last night. Oh sorry, I meant Underworld. I liked it just as much the second time as the first.

Secret Window - figured out the plot too early but sort of entertaining.

Oh boy....I remember seeing that in the theater when it was new. It was REALLY creepy! (I don't like suspenseful movies either) I thought that "Tubular Bells" music was quite scary. The opening was scary, the spinal tap was scary, the words coming out on her body were scary, it was scary everytime they went up those stairs!!! EEEEK!

We always made a point of walking those stairs after a late night in Georgetown, just for effect.=:0

Seems kind of tame by today's standards. The vomiting is actually pretty funny.

Caught the last half of "The Others" (?) with Nicole Kidman on tv. Your basic fun scary suspenseful movie, and visually pretty. Nicole Kidman is really elegant and fun to watch. The scene
where you can see the old lady's arm coming out from under the little girl's veil
is creepy.

But once the twist at the end happened, the whole logic of the movie fell apart You start saying "well, if THAT was true, then WHY did they do THIS?" over and over.

Fun visually, but falls apart logically all over the place at the end.
and what a depressing view of life after death! Sheesh - her hubby just wanders around witless, but she's perfectly fine, even tho she killed her children? And the real bummer : apparently if you're a servant in this life, you're a servant after you're dead! No rhyme or reason to things.

It fell apart for me after five minutes.
One I figured out they were ghosts it was pretty dull waiting for them to figure it out...lol


I came down with shingles this week so I must dip into the archives to fill the time. I did a "Young Frankenstein"/"Blazing Saddles" double feature. I really did laugh so much it hurt.

Heh, that movie brings back some memories. My english teacher rented it for us in grade 7 and then (and now) I did/do NOT like horror movies, mainly due to my over active immagination, any way I was scarred and then once I saw the ending I was like I was scared over THAT?! It loses all logic!

I just saw the movie Elephant and I thought it was pretty good, a lot better then what I was expected. I also watched Punch Drunk Love wich I thought was very cute but not as good as I had expected though I loved Adam Sandler in it.

I saw that Tuesdays with Morrie was on today. I've read the book and seen the film a rather long time ago, but I remember that I liked it.
