Just done with RZ's Halloween.
While I didn't find it "all that bad", and actually liked the idea of some kind of opening sequence set prior to the rest of the film (although felt it to be a little dragged out)...just didn't find the film all that great overall - the rest of it was just typical crap teen slasher, lacking any real suspense.

Duck You Sucker aka A Fistful of Dynamite

Rod Steiger and James Coburn are both great in this classic from spaghetti western master Sergio Leone. The town of "Mesa Verde" couldn't look less Mexican, but the acting and directing are great and the story (complete with a quote from Chairman Mao at the top of the film) is subversive, leftist and really fun, if maybe a bit too long. Not on the same level as Once Upon a Time in the West and the Man With no Name trilogy, but still better than most westerns.

7/10

A History of Violence.
A very good Cronenberg film.

Borderland- 7/10

The talk around here is absolutely right... This movie is very good. Excellent acting, story, gore, thrills... This one's got the whole package. I do, however, feel like this was more a crime/thriller than horror... It's kind of in that genre in between... Either way it's excellent, and definitely worth a rent.

Dr. Phibes Rises Again

It's from 1972, but apparently anything after the 60's is "modern" horror!
