Curdled
This was a really nice surprise. A dark, off-beat and peculiar film with a few laughs and alot of violent subject matter (However, there is little onscreen violence.) Quentin Taratino's company put it out and he got the Executive Producer billing for it so if you like QT's stuff, this is along those lines and I don't think you'll be disappointed. (He did not write or direct it though.) There's also a nice Dusk Til Dawn reference in there for those that are watching closely. B+ The Brothers Grimm Well, I had heard bad things about this so I didn't have my hopes up. That being said, it didn't exceed my lowered expectations, nor did it disappoint them. The imagery was pretty cool but the story itself was rather bland. All in all, I felt this film coulda been done a LOT better than it was, but it wasn't terrible. C- Session 9 I didn't seem to like this as much as most people here. It was okay, but I didn't really find anything too special about it. C+ The Gift This movies only saving grace was the all-star cast and Katie Holmes knockers. Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves, Katie Holmes, Greg Kinnear and Giovanni Ribisi, (also the guy that played Schillinger on Oz) make this a very well acted film but the plot was pretty stupid and fairly predictable. They tried to throw a couple twists in to the end, but it was also fairly predictable. I don't know... If you are in to psychic thrillers or you haven't already seen a dozen other movies with similar twists atthe ends, you might like it. I wasn't crazy for it. C

wow .. one of the most though provoking, suspenseful, tense, creepy, well acted films in the genre i've seen in years. If i used an ABC rating system it'd be an A+ Certainly heads and shoulders above your other 2 C's i thought the Gift had one of the most predictable endings of all times..a very pedestrian effort all around. no way at all in the same ballpark as session 9

HighwayMen
I have had this film for months but just not got round to viewing (I could say this about a whole crate of movies I got stashed away) but hell, I decided on Highwaymen and well what can I say? If you are like me and think that you can't get better (in these kinda movies) than Duel and the Hitcher...I did like the recent effort Roadkill but this effort I just didn't get into like the rest. I thought the bad guy was a bit pap to say the least. An average film with a plot seen so many times before... 5.5/10 CopyCat I really like this movie. Straight from the acting, the plot and the overall feel of the film establishes it as one of the better thrillers out there. Unlike alot of films like this it refers to all real life serial killers ( Dahmer, Gacy, Ramirez, Bundy, Hillside Strangler etc) which I thought was a good touch. Sigourney Weaver plays her part well - check out those panic attacks!! All in all a good 2 hours viewing. 8/10 The Exorcism of Emily Rose Now as the Exorcist is my fave movie of ALL time I was quite excited about seeing this. After seeing peeps reviews on here though i realised that my excitement may be soon dashed so, as I placed the DVD in my player I tried not to build this up only to be very disappointed. I have to say if you are after a truly scary possession film or a gory film then this film which just be one big let down But - I did enjoy this one. I thought it was well acted and the courtroom scenes held my attention well. I did enjoy this film, yes it could have been scarier but for me it did create a good debate afterwards and was good viewing. Overall, certainly not the standards of an Exorcist but a good movie in it's own legal right. 7.5/10 Panic Beats Continuing my Paul Nashy season (not to mention I am trying to get in the mood for Espana seeing as I will be there come Sunday for my jollies) I plumped for Panic Beats rather than Rojo Sangre (next on my list). I enjoyed School Killer (another Naschy effort from Spain) so had high hopes for this one and although typically cheesy and very 80's I yet again enjoyed this effort. Absolutely cram packed with gore without many scares I found this to be a good additon to my collection. Worth a look 7/10
