Not classic, next time post that in "Modern".

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.

the hidden jem thread should help you out a bit there :)

Die Hard

One of the greatest action flicks ever made.

"Yipee-kay-aya, motherfucker!"

All the Die Hard movies are great:)

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.

Sam

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