The Ghost Writer (2010)
 This gripping conspiracy thriller or you can say thrilling political satire may not be a Polanski masterpiece, but it definitely has some of his typical old school fashion intriguing atmosphere...some even in Hitchcockian way...where something horrible has happened behind the camera. This very involving sense thus proves he's far from finished as a master film-maker. The 2nd best movie for me of this year so far...just after Scorsese's Shutter Island. >>: A- 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010)  >>: F

eXistenZ (1999). Standard Cronenberg obsessions: phallic symbols, oozing wounds, technology seamlessly melded with gooey organic structures, all infused with a smattering of the sensual. Then again, how can these ever be thought of as standard? Unfairly compared to The Matrix, this wonderful sci-fi flick is less action and more cerebral, taking the viewer outside of the normal confines of the movie theater and creating a disquieting sense of reality lost. The acting was perfect for the desired effect, a desultory mix of organic reality and technological contrivances. The story was perfectly confusing, just enough to keep ya just outside of the loop. The direction, an acquired taste, was top notch. For Cronenberg fans eXistenZ is a definite winner. lAtE.

 Fantastic. Made me miss the Predator's POV a lot, otherwise it is a worthy successor to the original & #2. Thanks, Robert.

Wind Chill (2007). This little gem is gold whose eyes are tired of relentless use of gore to replace the effective capacity for storytelling. Taking its time to get scary proper, the time is well used in a little thing called character development, where our character's annoying qualities come to define the hidden truths behind their facades. As well, a sort of foreboding sense of the "relationship" initiates the psychological horror that will carry through the second half of our story. Centering on two characters for most of its screen time, Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes deliver stellar performances, an unexpected treat for a horror flick. Though claustrophobic for much of the time, the production values of this one are huge, with an incredible set and and even more incredible, as well as brutal, on scene shooting location. Everyone was literally chill for most of its shooting. The direction and camera work were solid, and the story itself was mostly effective. Whilst the ending sniffed of Hollywood, the air was left without a malodorous agency. Merci beaucoup.
