End of the Line (2007). This great little horror entry starts off strong and does not disappoint throughout. The only complaint one might have is that it is a low budget affair. That said, what the director does with the little he had (I read that he funded the movie out of his own pocket) was truly amazing. The script itself was near perfect, especially for a horror film. The story was engaging and even thought provoking. In fact, it was outright over the top in some regards, and the PC audience find themselves wonderfully offended. The acting was better than could be expected for a cheap horror film, in fact it was enough to get the viewer to care for them. The protag was splendidly icky. The scares threatened to be cheap, but turned out to be an honest affair. The camera work was more than competent. All in all, this turned out to be a strong entry into the horror genre. Ashe.

Survival of the Dead
Not totally awful but fairly average. Sits alongside Giallo as a bit of a letdown with a few cool moments.

Jackie Brown (1997). Not your typical Tarantino flick, this is a mellow, nicely paced crime drama that focuses more on character development, giving its wonderful cast of characters a chance to show off their skills, which they do with aplomb. Pam Grier gives a tremendous performance, and Robert De Niro's performance was almost too good as a low rent ex-con. The real standout was Robert Forster's role, as he finally gets a chance to flex his acting muscle. The story itself was intriguing and told in a delightful manner. Of course the direction was incredible, with the occassional though subdued Tarantino flair. A great flick for those whose attention spans can tolerate some wonderful character development in the place of frenetic violence. Merci beaucoup.

Watched "A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)" Last night around 1-2am in the morning. Just bought the complete boxed set for my birthday yesterday, although my birthday was on Saturday. Anyways, I'm currently watching Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare right now.

30 Days of Night. Freaking awesome vampires! The tempo of the movie made it feel like it spanned maybe a couple days at most, which kinda stunk. Besides that for being a "blood on the snow" flick it sure beat Whiteout!
