Right At Your Door
After seeing a couple of positive reviews here I thought I would check out the first 10 minutes or so last night. It was late....work in the morning so I just wanted a taste......bad idea....it hooked me pretty quick. THIS is a real horror movie. Acting was spot on. Highly recommended.

Raising Cain
I'm in awe of John Lithgow right now...what a great performance! The movie itself was a bit of a letdown thanks to the writeup on the DVD cover being loaded with spoilers, but Lithgow was more than good enough to make up for it. Seriously, I can't quite see the point of that...the DVD box ruins pretty near the whole damn plot, save for the final twist. Bullshit. It was still a great movie, but I would have enjoyed it a lot had I not known exactly what to expect :rolleyes:

also watched "The Funhouse"
always liked this one and its aged fairly well. Considering it came out in the early 80s.....didn't have none of that shitty 80s music and stupid hairstyles that's so prevalent in movies from that era. What it lacked in gore it made up in atmosphere.

Tropic Thunder
It had its moments of stupidity, but for the most part I really enjoyed it. Not a masterpiece, but a really fun movie with some great comedic performances.

Gaslight (1944)
Absolutely sensational. This is a powerhouse of a movie, a thriller filled with all the things most suspense films are missing these days. To say that any of the performances are less than explosive would be a crime, but Ingrid Bergman is the one who shines brightest, giving what is probably her finest career role and I daresay one of the most chilling in noir history. The film, like its title subject, begins as a dim affair and slowly burns its way into gripping tension. Cukor does a fantastic job leading his audience into dark corners but never showing too much or completeing explanations until they must be revealed. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) Filmmaking on a grand scale, acted to perfection and meticulously drawn. The film isn't so much about what age does to our physicality but what time does to our souls, and while the story can be painful, and sometimes heartbreaking to watch, it is a warm picture about the beauty of mortality and the importance of enjoying what we've got when we've got it. It is becoming ever more clear that David Fincher is one of Hollywood's most promising talents, and his pictures seem to mature in both subject matter and craft with every step. This is a movie to get excited about- it's the kind of sweeping epic that places us somewhere else and makes us excited about the movies again.
