  • The Innkeepers 2011

    ★★★½ Added

    Surprisingly creepy. While there were some cheap 'jump scare' moments, I thought what was accomplished worked great. Loved the dialogue between the two leads. First horror film in a while where I actually cared what happened to the characters.

  • Alien 1979

    ★★★★★ Added

    For me, Alien is THE film, and I believe it can't be surpassed.

    Alien is a perfectly paced, excellently acted, amazingly designed roller coaster ride of terror. While the premise of the film is compared to that of a b-movie, that's all the director needed; a small kernel of an idea, and transformed it into a beautifully shot and designed work of art.

    Every time I watch this film, I'm floored by how shockingly well everything contained it in holds…

  • Bullitt 1968

    ★★★ Added

    Unfortunately, my favorite part was the super cool opening montage. I can appreciate how modern this looked for the time, but was rather slow moving and had lots of moments filled with dead air.

    Pointless and tactless remake. Had to go the unbelievably cliche'd route of making the church-going south look disgusting and dimwitted. I've never liked Marsden either, even as Cyclops in X-men, he's a tool.

    Lost all the intensity, alienation and isolation Peckinpah's had.
