Silence Of The Lambs Is the archetypal thriller/horror combo.

I had long-since forgiven him for his misunderstanding of Blue Velvet when I read this, and knew I was right about him all along. RIP, sir.

A must-read from Roger Ebert

RIP Ebert. Sad day. Have been a fan for a long time now, I refer to him on almost every film i have ever had an interest in, and he's had some of the most fantastic articles I have ever read on various films and directors. no one loved a good film more than he did.

I particularly loved when he would write a review for a film he'd already reviewed long ago, sometimes decades between the reviews.

Remember in LOTR when Gandalf shouted, "Fly you fools? " That's kinda how I felt when I heard the news about Roger Ebert. I didn't always agree with his opinion but the man was a pioneer of film criticism. I always thought, "I'd love to do his job."

RIP Roger Ebert indeed, one of my favourite critics if not one of the best.

On a less sad note, I saw Trance and Wreck it Ralph recently. Trance was great, a lot of twists and turns and a few 'saw it coming' and plotholes, but it was mostly fun to watch, and I loved the Danny Boyle visuals. Wreck it Ralph was also great, loved the video game references, the plot was pretty standard Disney fare but it was a fun and funny movie-a lot of the jokes were wasted on the kids in the audience.

thinking about watching All The Presidents Men this weekend. just watched the Sting and loved it so I figure another Redford best Picture winner is a solid move

For the amount of gore in Evil Dead it's ****ing boring. We've seen it all before. Limbs hacked off? So edgy! Blood splashing in someone's face? Never seen that before! Skip it or see on cheap night.

I mean, I may be a little biased, what with both Evil Dead and Dead Alive (mentioned earlier on this page) being the motivation for my screen name, and me having a clip from Evil Dead for my avatar for the last month, but everyone I know who saw it loved it, not just me.

Sure it wasn't really anything new, but what it did, it did really well. I was nonstop entertained, and actually frightened on numerous occassions.

Stay til the end of the credits btw.

See Evil Dead on cheap night. I seem to be in the minority. I think ppl love it because of the name brand. I think it's a piece of ****. I'll elaborate further in a bit.

Didn't love Tiny Furniture. It was like a weak episode of Girls, although it was at times funny. I wish I didn't know who Alex Karpovsky was entering the film, made it near impossible to discover his character.
