"Werewolves: The Dark Survivors" (2009)
Made for cable TV movie. (showing on Animal Planet of all places) Faux documentary (shot like a true crime show) about a cop and a zoologist investigating a murder and how it leads them into the shadowy world of modern day werewolves. Surprisingly decent take on the werewolf legend. Tries to be realistic even with such a fantastic subject. I enjoyed it. |

Watched A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) for the first time in a while a few days ago, I gotta say it still holds up for me. I was genuinely frightened which surprised me quite a bit.

Halloween III - BAH, at least I didn't fall asleep this time.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (82') - While the acting in the movie is far superior the voices in the original are beautiful. I love Lansbury as Lovett, she always cracks me up. It's funny, the only person in the movie that is far and away better than their stage counterpart is Sacha Baron Cohen who puts on a show that's truly superior to the original. A lot of fun, it's neither better nor worse than the movie in my opinion and I think I'll be buying this one.

Every Little Step (2008)
Brilliant documentary about the trials and tribulations of young performers auditioning for the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line, while simultaneously delving into the fascinating story of how the show was originally conceived. I know that I'm not the only one here with a passion for theatre - if anyone with a love for Broadway hasn't seen this one yet, treat yourself and do so immediately. I went in with high expectations and was not let down.

The Alphabet Killer (2008). Decent enough psycho-thriller. It seemed better than it was because i figured it would be total crap. The acting was decent, the story fairly predictable. At least the very ending, which was lame in its own way, was not at least totally cookbook. Ashe.

Cloverfield- 9/10
Sometimes They Come Back... Again- 7/10 (Had never seen it. Liked it a lot) Sometimes They Come Back For More- 3/10 (Started out great, seemed like it would be a suspenseful flick, and felt a lot like 'The Thing'. It wore thin.) Desperation- 1/10 (Nothing happens in this movie...) Storm of the Century- 4/10 (Started out with promise, turned in to 3 hours of build up for a poorly executed, unrealistic, and overall stupid climax) Rose Red- 4/10 (Same thing. Way too long, and boring. The Haunting remake was better.)
