I don't really get Robert Altman. I love 3 Women, but everything else I have seen of his so far hasn't grabbed me. I didn't mind the lack of plot here, but gambling movies tend to bore me. The dialogue and characters weren't interesting enough to get me to look past everything else. The only bit that amused me was their luck in getting mugged 2 times in a row and having the balls to negotiate the second time.

One of the few early Carpenter films I somehow missed has now been rectified and it was the perfect start to my Friday. Not as good as Halloween or Assault or The Thing, but I loved the atmosphere. The creepy glowing fog invading the town, an old wrong doing, a bunch of people getting stabbed with hooks. I love when something horrific creeps in and just takes over a town, where can you hide?

I think I avoided this one for so long cause of the ghost label. I shouldn't have, they are more like revenge-driven zombies without the brain hunger. Love the red glowing eyes!
