Red Riding Trilogy: 1974-1980-1983 (2009)
 Set against the backdrop of child serial murders as well as the Yorkshire Ripper killings, with a great bunch of actors this 3 part TV movie is pretty slow burn & depressing but quite convincingly portrays a harrowing world of multi-layered police corruption and organized crime. Not for everyone, but definitely worth a watch for anyone who's got the patience for a long, noir-like crime drama-thriller. Liked the first 2 parts mostly, expected a better conclusion in the final part which wasn't delivered. >>: B+ Wrath of the Titans (2012)  >>: B- Exit Humanity (2011)  >>: C+

  ...back-to-back. The 2011 film is such a wonderful prequel/companion piece to Carpenter's remake, but for 2 things - Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character stands out like a sore thumb (honestly, the film could have been MUCH better without her character), and the rather tacky CGI effects. Other aspects though - tying up with Carpenter's film, character development, background score, cinematography , direction and script pacing - are superb. I especially liked how the director used all the characters and gave them all pretty much equal screen space. And the detailed scenes which tie up with Carpenter's film, specially the helicopter name-number tag in the end - excellent observation and attention to detail by the director. My only niggle will always be Mary for this film. As for Carpenter's remake, very few things to complain of. Best watched on BD for that fine grainy nostalgic feel. Really makes you wonder today how the hell it was a BO dud upon it's release. * * * / * * * * ½

Maybe I'll try a double feature with The Thing. But I thought that the prequel/remake wasn't needed. It didn't get what made the original one of the best horror movies. That sense of paranoia. I've only seen it once. But I didn't get the feeling that I was seeing one of the best horror movies ever with the 2011 version like I did with the Carpenter version. I thought Mary Elizabeth Winstead did fine with what she was given. A better director (Cameron, Tarantino, Scott, etc) would have made her one of the best female movie characters.
