High Tension (Haute Tension) (2003)--5/10

A well made, suspenseful movie--up until the end. I have less and less patience for movies that throw out a "gotcha" twist at the end, and expect you to believe it's "clever" or "imaginative". The Uninvited (2009) did this kind of twist right; High Tension did it wrong.

Hey! This sounds like a blast. Good movies, too, especially I Drink Your Blood.

Not that I liked either that much, I definitely enjoyed JB a hell of a lot more.
Tarantino should try his hand at writing videogame scripts/dialogue...I'm kind of sick of his attempts to make films as good as his first few.

Batman - Behind the Red Hood
Probably DC's best animated feature yet.
Ties into the overall history of the character/s and a certain pivotal event but can surely be viewed as an independent feature without too much DCU familiarity.
Gets pretty dark, perhaps more-so than Nolans work...
Fans of Batman, go buy it.

Public Enemies (2009). What could have been a great movie has been relegated to a decent watch, with the most impressive aspects being the cinematography, which was amazing. Too bad this movie could not settle upon one theme, or even the story, and see it through. The most outstanding incongruity was that Depp's and Bale's accents sounded like constipated impersonations of Keanu Reeves. That humor gave way in the first ten minutes. Late.

Definitely gonna check it out.

Last seen:

Spasmo (1974)



What a double dose of twist at the end! Loved this simple Giallish psyhco-thriller from Umberto Lenzi.

Like I said elsewhere this is one of those flics where you either love or hate it

IMO it was just a waste of time. If you want to see a true skewering of the Nazis look at the musical number in The Producers. QT will never be Mel Brooks

Hollywood has been rewriting history for decades so I don't have an issue with the film on that score. Inglorious has some great sequences but fails overall and is worth watching primarily for Christoph Waltz.

As for Mel brooks, apart from Blazing Saddles, Ive never liked his stuff all that much.
