Re: Halloween Horror Marathon '15
I enjoyed half of the movies in the Alamo's horror marathon today. First was Popcorn , sort of a horror version of Matinee with some students presenting a horror marathon featuring William Castle like movies but with a crazed killer lurking in the theater. Not perfect but enjoyable. Never seen that...

Re: Halloween Horror Marathon '15
You are seemingly on an island there with CRIMSON PEAK. I will get to it eventually! I was quite delighted by it. I can imagine why it's tanking at the box office, though...too genteel and "not scary enough" (i.e. subwoofer jump-cuts every thirty seconds) for the hardcore horror buffs, an...

Re: Halloween Horror Marathon '15
Yeah we def don't agree there. You'd rather watch GHOSTS OF MARS? I'd rather watch paint dry. That's his worst film by a wide margin IMO. Watching all of the Carpenter flicks I hadn't seen up until that point last year and earlier this year, I was expecting the worst from Ghosts Of Mars , consideri...

Re: Halloween Horror Marathon '15
Ugh...watched Carpenter's Village Of The Damned for the first time earlier this year, and HATED it. :? Aside from a nice performance by Reeves (his last before his riding accident), it was totally bereft of suspense, bizarrely cast (Kirstie Alley as a sinister government agent?!) and just overall la...

Re: Spielberg, Zemeckis Facing Worst Grosses of their Career
I always thought that if the movie was good, audiences would be interested in seeing it. Plenty of good -- even great -- movies have tanked at the box office over the years...look at The Shawshank Redemption , often occupying the top spot in the IMDB's list of the 250 best movies of all time, and y...
