The Omen (2006) - I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I think it was pointless to remake the original, but they did a pretty decent job.

An American Haunting - I had heard nothing but bad things about this one, but I really liked it. The only things I didn't much care for were the modern-day storyline that bookends the movie and the "why did they have to go there?" twist. I don't know much about the true events of The Bell Witch so maybe there's something to it, but I thought that was a weak cop-out.

The Omen series seems to be quite a popular choice lately.


Omen III: The Final Conflict

Pretty good. Nowhere near as awesome as the first, but a bit better tha #2. Sam Neill did an amazing job...I still say this guy needs to do more horror. One thing that bugged me though:


**Spoilers**


The ending. It was a pretty good way to end it, but it just made Damien seem like a complete moron. He can recite like half the bible from memory, yet he didnt know that passage that comes on screen at the end? About Christ returning "not as a child, but now as King of Kings". Cool ending, but that parts was pretty dumb IMO.

Devils Rejects.
First time I'd seen it.
I didn't like HO1KC much at all...so I was pretty apprehensive about this "sequel", but hey, it was on weekly hire, and I'd heard it was somewhat better than the first (IMO - Not as though that would be too hard) from a few people.
While I found it more watchable than the first one, I still found the characters stupid, annoying, and over the top. The "rescue" I saw coming a mile off.
Overall not bad, at least this one made me laugh a few times...but, wasn't overly impressed by either of these films.

Die Hard

One of the greatest action flicks ever made.

zombie honeymoon, fragile and pan's labyrinth.

the last two were very beautifully done movies and highly recommended. i know pan's labyrinth may still not be out over there, but fragile is on dvd.

Just saw "This Film is not Yet Rated" last night. It's a documentary about the MPAA film ratings process. Definitely interesting, and sheds some needed light on the uber-secretive ratings board, though it has some weak points.

Still, this movie would probably interest a lot of horror fans, since horror tends to get treated a bit unevenly in ratings.

I personally hated the second one...the third one more than adequetly made up for it though.
