I Sell the Dead (2008). This was a delightfully comedic horror flick. While the story itself was rather simple, the strength of this lovely film lies in the charming fashion in which the tale unravels, told in an appropriately choppy fashion. The back story itself develops into a minaciously driving force. The acting was perfectly solid, with great direction and editing as well. Mixing horror with comedy is more than just making a sloppy film, and this little tale was created with aplomb. Merci beaucoup.

Young Frankenstein- such a classic and funny movie
Silent Hill- Perfection. I mean it, I have no complaints about this movie. The atmosphere is soo creepy, and close to the games. I love it.

Inferno
Dario Argento has such a way with atmosphere.

I confess I have never read the book, and that turned out to be an advantage. What a wonderful story, and equally well-filmed. Scorcese uses the talents he showed in Cape Fear to the full here. A superb, taut and gripping mystery-thriller which goes through several bizarre and shocking twists till the end comes, which reveals one final, mind-numbing twist itself, leaving you with more questions than answers. I will be going ga-ga about Shutter Island for awhile - it's just the huge Hitchcock fan inside me.

Laeddis, Rule of 4, #67, Spring 1952. No idea what I am talking about? Watch the movie. Highly recommended.

So looking forward to seeing this at the weekend. The trailer blew me away and your review makes me even more excited. Oh and I am sure I have nursed some of those people in my time. :cool:

The Ghost

Pierce Brosnan playing a very good Tony Blair character in a very enjoyable film. Loved nearly every moment of it, and whilst I felt the characters could have been defined a bit more I would definitely watch it again.

Went to see Kick-Ass last night. I haven't read the comics but I found the movie really enjoyable.
