Well, it certainly was strange. Aside from that, I really dont know what to make of it. Pretty good I guess, a bit slow though.

The Changeling. I love this movie. George C. Scott is fantastic as always, and the film itself is right up there with The Haunting as one of the great haunted house/ghost stories. Highly recommended.

You didn't get it from Netflix did ya? (If you did, send it back!) They've skipped that movie for me for the past week because I guess it must all be checked out.

Anyways...

American Werewolf in London:

Good acting, good plot, average FX, good gore. All in all this werewolf classic is deserving of it's good reputation although the creature FX are getting a bit dated. I'd definately recommend it to any fan of the werewolf sub-genre.

B+

I disagree. The whole time I was watching that, I couldn't shake the feeling of it being a cheap Matrix knock off.

Actually, it is dated as that was one of the first movies to have special effects like that without stopping the film. That has to be the top of the werewolf films. On the bottom: "The Howling" and every sequel that followed which unbelievably got progessively worse.

I saw the remake of "Amittyville". Not bad at all. It was kinda creepy for a modern movie, decent acting, and sorta creepy. Could've used more bleeding walls, scarier ghost scenes, but overall, not bad. :)

Nah, I own it. It is a great movie, so I imagine there's a high demand for it.

I do understand what you're saying about Equilibrium too. It seems that pretty much all the debate on this film centers around the "Matrix-or-not" question. I just felt that it had more similarity with works like Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World than The Matrix.
