Stardust

With a few casting issues aside, a completely charming and sweet film. Truly "fun for the whole family" as my both my 4 year-old and his seventy year-old grandmother both laughed quite a bit.

7/10

Black Christmas



Wow. A slasher film that predates Halloween by 4 years, it's amazing how much the iconic John Carpenter film borrowed from Black Christmas. From the eerie music to the first-person-killer point of view to the direction, it's obvious how much this movie has influenced the slasher genre.

I'm actually quite surprised how much this film does NOT come up in discussion of the every growing slasher mythos and tome... I found the themes, images, an archetypes fascinating that they might have originated here.

And besides from being a quality slasher film, it also touches on controversial topics at the time (1974), women's rights, freedom abortion - I thought that the movie examines the feminine differently than the usual slasher (that simply treats them as objects and victims).

An amazing slasher film and one that I will have to add to my Christmas movie list.

A/A+

EASTERN PROMISES...8.5/10

Very well acted complicated movie about the Russian Mafia in London.

Cronenberg has grown sooo much as a director.....looking forward to his next movie.

Took a little time to unwind and go see I am Legend. I thought it was very good. It was a bit more depressing than I thought it would be though.
