I'll also take a stab at 18 and say Tale of Two Sisters, no idea who the actress is

I just realised what 10 is (got thrown off because I'd hardly consider it a fitting film for Halloween, but anyway)- it's Jimmy Stewart in Hitchcock's Vertigo

Yeah Woody has taken a few steps back from the days in which he openly bashed the pretentious hypocritical pseudo-intellectual snob. Like that one scene in Anie Hall, where at a California party a guy is talking on the phone (a young Jeff Goldblum, I believe) and says "I've forgotten my mantra".

Whatever Works - Simply put: Woody lives on a different planet, and I really really gotta stop paying to see his movies. He is so delusional and distanced from the state of the human condition (in an OVERALL sense, not just in the minds of the Hollywood "elite"). Between this and Vicky Cristina Bar...

The Box- is probably too high in both cases. This movie is looking at an 8 mil opening, and finishing at around 20 mil at best A Christmas Carol- seems to be more fun as a prospect than Polar Express, but is it too early for Christmas? It could open to 40 mil and make anywhere from 120-150 total The...

Some very good points, there NSpan, and I agree with a lot of them (although I have to admit bloated faux-masterpieces at least stick in your mind a bit longer than Drag will.. but maybe that's just me). Perhaps my biggest problem with Drag was that there wasn't enough. From what I remember about Ev...

Drag Me To Hell 5/10 Maybe it's because I watched it after Paranormal Activity, but the film felt completely throwaway. It's not particularly scary, besides a few obvious jolts (which are almost always pre-empted by a sudden and very predictable silence). But I doubt it's going for true scares anywa...

Paranormal Activity Not sure how to rate this- it's similar to Blair Witch Project in that it's essentially a gimmick, an endeavour to creep you out as opposed to telling a story. But it's pretty effective at creeping you out. It slowly builds tension through the multiple nighttime encounter that st...

Rewatched The Thing What an absolute classic, for three reasons. 1- The production design is out of this world. I've never seen a film like this, the creature is a brilliant idea, an amalgamation of things it previously contacted. Horrific and very creative 2- John Carpenter takes his scenarios seri...

24 The Shining- Jack Nicholson

Both great films, and $69K is a lot of money. Makes you wonder why did Aronofsky come up with his own way of expressing the scene. Nevertheless, I think Requiem's budget was 3 or 4 million, so in the context 69K was just another expense.

I like SS's one, and NSpan's strip of celluloid.

The last Saw dropped 68% in its second week and each one has had a bigger second week drop than the last (the first dropped 39%, the second dropped 47%, the third dropped 57% and the fourth dropped 67% in their second weeks). Yes but this time Saw 6 opened up before Halloween weekend, so it may not...

Just watched The Last Broadcast. At first I hated it, the acting was awful, and it stank on an amateur graduate film. But I gradually began buying it as it progressed, absorbed in the crapness of it all, and after seeing Blair Witch Project, expecting something crepy to happen, which is what the fil...
