So I'd say LotR is much more overrated, in my limited experience.

Yesterday I saw A Tale of Two Sisters
A really good Korean "psychological" horror movie IMHO. It does get off to a slow start and it could very well go over your head the first time you see it. But all the pieces pretty much fall together in the end. It's still one of those movies where watching it a second time really pays off though. I especially liked the fact that while the main storyline leaves little room for discussion not all is disclosed or explained like Hollywood tends to do. Fans of more subtle horror should definately give it a try...

There's a bit where the heroes are wandering through the mountains, and Evil Christopher Lee Wizardâ„¢ magically causes an avalanche. Now, if the guy has such extreme power of nature, why can't he uproot the trees in the fight in the forest later on in the same film? Also, the characters in the film really do just wander to a location [cut to nice shot of New Zealand] and then say "We need to go to XXXX!", before moving on again. Possibly with a fight scene first. I dunno; I never got more than about ten pages into the book, and the film struck me as silly, rushed and unexplained. |

Besides, that's a type of thing you can Quote:
Don't get me wrong, I don't think the screenplay was perfect. But I felt, and was told so by people who hadn't known the source prior to watching it, it stood rather firmly on its own.

I just watched Stealth on DVD. 'Tis a very entertaining movie that got shit grades. Compare that to Red Eye, a piece of cinematic diarrhea that got excellent reviews. What is this world coming to?! Does it seem like lately, a whole buncha directors are getting "A" for effort, even though their products are mediocre at best?

That's a huge relief, thanks. I guess I'll keep a closer eye on what Rotten Tomatoes is really saying in the future.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Very funny and original, if a little sick in places! I think I only laughed out loud once, but the cinema was so empty I felt all self-conscious. The laugh-out-loud moment really was hilarious though! The Exorcism of Emily Rose The scariest bits were all seen in the trailer (as usual for horror movies, I suppose), but I really enjoyed this. Courtroom scenes combined with flashbacks are always compelling - when they're not badly done and cheesy - and this got it just right. It was also quite sparing with the jumpy moments, so when they came they were more effective. Probably laughed out loud more here than in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - someone in the (absolutely packed) cinema screamed. |
