Zodiac - 6/10
Love Jack Gyllenhal and Robert Downey Jr., was based on true events, it was pretty long and drawn out, not much action. There was another movie on the Zodiac at the rental place I should have picked it up.

The Number 23- 6/10
Was impressed with Jim Carey's ability to pull of a serious role, he did ok. The movie itself was bland and I knew what was going to happen basically from the beginning. Not that exciting. Was very pornographic actually :rolleyes:

DON'T! If you see that movie run like your life depended on it, because it does.

I will probably buy it on DVD. I also watched a cool show on the History Channel the other day about the 300 Spartans. They were pretty crazy and smart.



Pffffth!!..

You just loved that movie for their Chippendale outfit. :p

Black Christmas (1974) ~ I have felt for awhile that this movie doesn't get nearly enough attention or appreciation, considering the influence it had on the horror genre; great, simple premise, and manages to be genuinely creepy without being over the top.

Black Christmas (remake) ~ Anyone that has ever wondered why some fans hate remakes so much, they should watch these films back to back. :p Completely stomps all over everything that was good about the original film. And all three of the alternate endings, bad as they were, made more sense then the one they kept in the film.....:rolleyes: Some good gore I guess, but mostly a waste of time.

I bought this, I'm sad I did. I did like the icicle scene though.

Zodiac

Even better the second time around. The murders are horrifying (especially the daylight scene by the lake:eek: ) the characters are brilliantly written and portrayed, the detective work is authentic and cool and the special effects are amazing (and practically invisible - which makes them eve more brilliant) and Fincher's lensing has never been more precise and affecting. Some think it's a little long, but I found the obsession story quite compelling...and a direct corollary to Fincher's own obsession with the material.

9/10

Yes I agree that daylight scene by the lake was crazy

Why? That bad??

I also saw a new Ed Gein movie is out, the last one was pretty bad regardless I will have to see this new one. Anyone seen it?

At least to me it was, I'd ask around here a bit.

Okay, I watched one called The Zodiac, that wasn't exactly a bad film, but just seemed kind of pointless. Nothing special at all, really.
There is also one called Zodiac Killer.....which is an Ulli Lommel film, and while I have never seen it....well, I would say that it is probably best just to stay far away from that one.....:p
