'War Stories'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
My complaint about Chicago is Renee Zellwegers arms (too muscled)
I think Joss showed his understanding of Into the Woods better in the last episode of Buffy (I always think that "what are we going to do now" and the final "I wish" are so similar) than these people who are doing this casting. Anna Kendrick would be a better Ridibg Hood. Or Kristen Bell. Or even Amanda Seyfried . These are adult roles
I watched this Japanese horror flick last night and it wasn't horrifying. And while there were a couple of creepy parts, it was mostly a yawn. Man. I was prepared for the worst. Maybe I picked a bad one?
It was Ju-on: The Grudge.
It's my pick for the scariest of all the J-horror imports in recent years (and it had me jumpy for a while afterwards despite many, many years of horror movie desensitization). Maybe that particular story just didn't grab you?
I admit I haven't watched many, but Audition is my favourite horror movie in a long while.
Audition was creepy as all fuck. There's something about Japanese and Korean horror that scares the hell outta me; I don't know why it's worse than American horror. American horror makes me jump and yelp, but once the movie's over it's gone. Japanese and Korean horror sticks with me and keeps me awake at night.
It didn't help that a door spring in the bathroom of the restaurant I ate at immediately after seeing it made the same sound that Kayako made when closing in for the kill in that office building restroom.
It's just very fortunate that I was already peeing when I heard it.

Wow. Really? Yeah, maybe I wasn't in the mood for it? I thought it was kind of boring.
Ju-on did not scare me even close to as much as Ringu. And that was after watching the American version of Ringu so I was somewhat prepared for some of the creepy bits.
Admittedly, I may have bad taste because I actually preferred the American version of The Ring. And The Grudge, for that matter, though again I found The Ring creepier.
I just realized I never say Let Me In, despite good reviews, love for the original, and Chloe Grace Moretz. I blame my horror-averse wife, dangit.

I super love Let the Right One In. And I think Let Me In is still very good, but not as amazing as the original.
I saw "The Bling Ring" - talk about moving from 1 horror to another. It was amusing and I like the director's style. The movie wasn't about anything though. Like I felt the movie didn't say much about the people or about the society that produces these people.
