The Official Movie Thread

I'm looking for a good horror movie to watch tonight - any suggestions? I watched all 3 Paranormal Activities & Blair Witch Project so far - that's my frame of mind at the moment. Anything similar? Chernobyl Diaries isn't out yet is it?

How about a Leaf game?

Oh no you didn't
 
Descent is fantastic. Very unsettling though.

Recently, Insiduous was quite freaky. Another recent one I enjoyed was House of the Devil.

Does anyone remember Rawhead Rex?

I remember that. I liked the scene where the monster is standing still in a field and the family passing by thinks it's a statue.

Of course, they investigate a little closer.

3 (maybe 3.5) stars from me for Savages. Just kind of okay I feel. Would have been worth the theater prices I think but I was hoping for more out of Stone. 
 
For sure. It was fine and all but in the end, it was just another movie about running drugs and it really didn't stand out as one of the really, really good ones.
 
I don't know, what's the last really good Oliver Stone movie? Nixon? Natural Born Killers? I liked Any Given Sunday but that's all sorts of problematic and even that is 13 years old.

I think the guy's fastball might be gone.
 
I really love Platoon and Wall Street might be in my top 10/15 of all time but yeah, I think you might be right there.

Edit: and I wasn't blown away by those other flicks you mentioned there either, Nik.
 
Looking at his directorial filmography, I'd have to say he blew out his arm in '91 with JFK and The Doors - two flicks which I thought were fantastic.

I don't love either movie myself, I'd just call both of them solidly good movies.

That's exactly what the previews/ads make it look like, too. It just looks so forced and so formulaic. Nice to know I haven't really been missing anything there.
 
I listened to some critics raise a pretty interesting point about TDKR that, to me at least, maybe answers why it was such a mess. Because we've known that Nolan's Batman story would be a trilogy for a long time you have to figure that he had rough ideas for all three movies before they were shot. If that's the case, how much did Heath Ledger's death change what he had planned for the third movie? It does sort of seem as though the Joker was supposed to be a central character in the trilogy. If the third movie has to be hastily written on the fly and can't follow the arc he had planned it would go a ways to explaining why so much of it didn't work.
