A Warning To The Curious (1972)



An amateur archaeologist goes to a remote Norfolk town to search for the lost crown of Anglia, but at every turn he finds his movements tracked by a mysterious stranger dressed in black.

This is a very fine BBC adaptation of a M.R. James story. Though only 50 minutes long but there are some pretty effectively creepy set pieces. Highly recommended to those who love old fashioned atmospheric ghost stories.

Grave Encounters (2011)



A found footage flick where ghosts are mostly visible and frequently popping out on the screen made it pretty cheesy but overall it was a decent time waster.

Liked the scene where the lead ghost hunter ate a rat after beating the hell out of it!:D

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

Blast of a flick, over the top and ridiculous in every sense but just packed with entertainment.

Me too. I simply adore Maniac Cop and it's sequel, ever since I watched it as a child. Robert Z'Dar was terrifying to me.

Underrated film, with very obvious nods to Rosemary's Baby. Most people hated it but I liked it. Thoughts?

Noted. Thanks for the heads-up, buddy.

They say Cameron Diaz looks quite old in this, and so not the part of her character. What say?

That wouldn't turned out much problem if they could had a well developed plot & some interesting characters. Moreover, the comedy contents were sometimes pretty average & predictable also.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice was....just OK.

The Astronaut's Wife is one of my favorite movies....in fact, I own it.
