I haven't seen it, but I don't think that's right...

The Burning (1981)

Fantastic little slasher film. Better than most slashers of it's kind - well directed, decently acted and all around fun.

-8/10

I maybe had to high of an expectation for this. I still really liked it, I think on a second viewing I would like it more actually. It was a bit MTV at times which stopped it from being as gritty as I was hopeing for it to be. Still it looks great.

7/10

MTV? Didn't get that myself... but I can kinda see where your coming from.

I liked it a lot more the second viewing, I missed a few things here and there because of the state I was in :D

Drag Me to Hell (2009)

I liked it. A lot of you guys are definately giving it more praise than it deserves, but it was still a damn fun horror flick. Not the be-all-and-end-all of modern horror, but still really enjoyable.

The ending was the best part by far...I was laughing out loud after leaving the theatre.

Definitely. That's how I felt.
I was just so excited to have had that much fun going to see a horror movie in the theatre. Usually I just leave disappointed and upset at losing $10.

Like I said, he's already reinvented the genre, and I wouldn't expect him to do it again. It was just great and refreshing to have an old horror master doing what he does best on the big screen again, especially among the slew of forgettable garbage.

The Champ (1931)

It takes tough skin to get out of this film without a few bruises and a bad black eye. Vidor was a man on the move, a director who believed firmly in a literal execution of the motion picture, and his camera movements flow so naturally that they disappear. Wallace Beery rightfully earned an Oscar for his title performance in 1931, but it means nothing without Jackie Cooper's raw symmetry; here is a child actor with a head on his shoulders, a person who understands his part and makes it real, and his success makes him look more mature than almost every adult actor in the film- many of whom are, ironically, childishly theatrical. This film is surprisingly rarely cited; its influence has been echoing between the walls of American cinema for seventy-eight years, and it quite obviously made an impression on Martin Scorsese, a director who would borrow thematically and stylistically from it in 1980. A knockout.

It was probably that the ending would have been better had it not been made to look like some MTV music video.....
