The Birds

Alfred Hitchcock was the master of creepy atmospheric films and this one illustrates that nicely. Let's face it, a movie about all of the birds going crazy and attacking people has some major potential to suck, but not only did Hitchcock pull it off, he turned it into a masterpiece. Although not quite as awesome as Psycho, I thuroughly enjoy this film every time I watch it.

B+


Audition

Well after hearing how hyped the violent content of this film was, I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was a relatively slow moving, dramatic love story for all but the last ten minutes, at which point it takes a turn for the fucked up. The gore that was supposed to be shocking looked very real from a SFX point of view, but it certainly wasn't anything stomach churning or anything like that. I don't know... I expected a little more from this movie, but it wasn't terrible.... Just wasn't great either.

C



Fortress

It had a better budget and more gore than I was expecting, but it's still a fairly stereotypical sci-fi prison movie about an innocent man (Christopher Lambert) and an evil warden (played by the dad from That 70s Show). All in all, I wasn't bored or disappointed at all, in fact it was a pleasent surprise from a movie I wasn't expecting much from.

I liked the demonic bunny.

Just watched Elizabeth. One of the better historical dramas out there. Cate Blanchett was an AWESOME Elizabeth.
