  • The Innkeepers 2011

    ★★½ Watched 25 May, 2012

    This had the makings of a good haunted house story, but here are my opinions of why it fell flat. While there was the initial jump out of your seat scene in the first 5 minutes, it took way into the second half to have anything remotely scary happen.

  • Born to Be Bad 1934

    ★★★½ Watched 25 May, 2012

    Catching up on some old Cary Grant films, this little film that come in at just over 60 minutes was a short simple film that really did not show off Grant's talents, but Loretta Young did a fine job as a woman hustler who doesn't know how to be a mom. There wasn't much back story or drama in this film but for an hour film, how much can you really get in. It was overall, decent.

    Billy Bob Thornton should have won the Oscar that year cos when you can transform yourself that much and make it believable that should win you the award. This movie was excellent though you could see what was going to happen, there was too much foresight into how it was all going to play out, but every character had a purpose and each actor did a great job telling the story. This movie has made me respect Billy Bob as a director and an actor. Very excellent movie.

The laserdiscs are running over $100 for a copy, while VHS can fetch the upwards of $50-$60 depending on the version of the film. There are two different covers on the VHS you need to look for. The blue cover and the red…
