CARLITO'S WAY (1993). One of DePalma's better films with compelling Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Luiz Guzman and a too short Viggo Mortenson performances. ****1/2

Saw "Ouija" last night. I thought it was OK. Lots of jump scares, but no true scares. I didn't hate it. I may buy the DVD. Then again, I may not. ::stick out tongue::

I always wondered why the hell they started that movie with the ending... ::confused::
Also loved Sean Penn's performance.

"Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort" 5-6/10

Started out promising with a young guy inheriting a huge old hotel in the middle of the woods. Unfortunately he brings a bunch of young friends you couldn't care less about and it all goes Friday the 13th fast, meaning people are either having sex or doing dumb adolescent stuff. I hate that.

But for a 6th movie in the franchise it wasn't that bad a watch.

Sinister 2012 8/10
I love this movie. It's really creepy; especially the music!

The soundtrack was arguably the scariest part, especially during the BBQ film. I give the movie a 9/10. I wish I could find it on DVD somewhere because I've looked at a bunch of movie stores, and I couldn't find a copy.

"The Taking of Deborah Logan" 7-8/10

After seeing the cover on Neflix again and again starring back at me I finaly gave in. Glad I did.
Roshiq, you've already said it all, so all that's left for me to say is thanks for the recommendation. Nice to see a minimum of shaky cameras in a good mockumentary.

Mirrors
 

I'm slightly disappointed by this one. It started out as a sort of slasher, then quickly turned into investigation, then into supernatural. Slasher movies aren't necessarily my favorites, and I don't like how it quickly turned into an investigation movie and a boring one at that. Investigation in horror can be done right if it's coherent and interesting, which this one was not. The Ring is a great example of an investigation horror film. When it turned into supernatural, that was more of what I was expecting from this film, but it still wasn't terribly entertaining or even scary in the slightest. I think this went more for the "cool effects" route. Speaking of which, the mirror effects did look great, and it was probably the best part of the movie... but if the special effects are the high point of a film, I don't think you're gonna get any quality entertainment.

The sequel has a pretty cool mirror scene in an elevator. Go see it, right now!

FIVE ACROSS THE EYES 2006

Five teenaged girls get lost driving, while taking a shortcut through "the eyes", and stop to ask for directions. They have a minor fender bender in the parking lot but leave regardless.

What follows is a whole other level of road rage. This movie pushed my comfort levels. It was sadistic, bloody and distorted. But it was different. Pretty decent soundtrack, too.
