It strikes a lasting impression.
Great flick I really should watch it again especially after becoming a big fan of McConaughey after watching True Detective. He was great in Dallas Buyers Club too. Guy really tears it up with the darker stuff.

The Thing (1982)
I've seen this movie a couple of times but now that I was in Lovecraftian mood, it was even better.
Only thing that confused me a little bit was the ending.
Read somewhere that the bottle at the end was a molotov and not a drink.
And the non-Kurt Russell guy took a drink so he's supposed to be the thing.
Also read about the alternative ending, in which an infected dog escapes.

The Thing (2011)
Was in the mood, so I gave the prequel/remake ago.
Better than I expected.
The creature was done quite right. Special effects and gore were good.
The atmosphere wasn't a tight as in the original.
The story wasn't great (some things didn't make sense) but still better than expected.
Only the way they tried to tie the ending to the start of the original was a bit messy. =SPOILER at the bottom!=
Overal not bad, but could've better with some changes.









All of a sudden a guy who got attacked by The Thing appears again, without any wounds. In my logic he was supposed to be dead (or consumed).
But he turns out to be the guy in the original, who's shooting at the dog from inside the chopper.

Haunter (2013)



>>: B-

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)



Surprised to see a poor-skinny man of steel & such a short-lived Hal Jordan in that alternate timeline. Overall, great animation, great story & to some extent, there's over-the-top violence for a DC animated movie.

>>: A-

I Spit on Your Grave 2 (2013)



Better than its predecessor/the remake.

>>: B

I've seen Thing 82 a few times, and I never got the impression the drink/bottle, the two guys shared at the end, was a molotov cocktail. I seem to remember them both drinking from it... so I don't get what that's all about. If one of them were an alien, they could have killed the man pretty easy. Plus the alien would be putting out the fire. I don't really see any reason to think we're supposed to think one of them was an alien.

Pain and Gain



Basically a slick entertaining episode of the world's dumbest criminals.

It was just a fan theory I read about.
But like you said, there's no indication that bottle was a molotov.

Laid To Rest (2009) - 5/10

I don't expect much from newer Slasher movies, and I didn't really get much, other than a few moments of confusion from this one. Still, not the worst I've seen.

Elysium (2013) - 6/10

Good effects. Very predictable story. Only watched it for Jodi Foster and was surprised how small her role was.

Man Of Steel (2013) - 6/10

A few interesting ideas, and some good effects but I wasn't really blown away.
