shame that his later career is mired in "erotic" thrillers

The Grudge 2

I actually thought that this was quite a bit creepier than the first one. Lame with terrible acting, story, etc., yes. But it did creep me out a little while watching it which is rare.

6/10 (Only because it creeped me out, if not, 4/10)

The Illusionist (2006)

This'll get the Academy Award for cinematography. Highly recommended.

Loose Cannons

The Fly....

Original or remake?

Remake.
I love Cronenberg, yet i only own A History Of Violence, so i purchased The Fly-2 disc SE. i think i might have the original in one of my movie packs though,

Syriana

It reminded me lot of Traffic in that it took one huge problem (The oil cycle) and pretty much examined it from every angle. (Obviously Traffic focused on the drug trade and this is about Middle East and Western oil connections, but the way they went about examining is what seemed similar to me.)

I thought this was a very well acted & directed film. The plot gets a bit complicated & confusing at points, but for the most part we can follow fairly easily. There's not a ton of action or gore as it's really more of a politcal drama but if you don't mind watching political dramas, then this is one worth checking out.

Orca...It was still really good, even after more than 20 years
