Ouch. Well keep your eye out.



Last night/this morning I watched:

-The Fly (1986)- (7/10) This was my first time seeing this movie, and I'm certainly glad I did. Although not as good as the original V.P. classic, this gross little Croenenberg flick was well worth my time. A great spin on the original story, good 1980s acting, and some cool effects (Ex. the arm wrestling scene: neat-o!)

-Blazing Saddles (1974)- (10/10) I've seen this probably ten times, and I easily hold it as my favorite comedy (although Airplane! takes a close second), and one of my favorite movies in general. Mel Brooks did a great job with the witty dialogue and the goofy but very entertaining storyline. What an awesome cast, too. The perfect comedy.

And just now I watched:

-Halloween (1978)- (10/10) The omega of all bogeyman movies, and, in my opinion, the greatest horror movie of all time. The atmosphere is such a contradicting one; once we get comfortable, we feel claustrophobic. A great cast, most especially Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasense (but excluding the girl who uses the word "totally" so damn often...). And I've said it before and I'll say it again: Michael Myers, at least in the first two films of the series, is the most believable and scary killer to ever grace the silver screen. I can only think of two horror films that I would give a 10/10 rating to, and this is one of them.
