  • Man, Friday the 13th Part III is such an enjoyable piece of dook. A couple of years ago I saw it in all three glorious dimensions in a theater and it was so much fun- definitely a movie to watch with a group.
  • I don't know why Mothman Prophecies left me all ten kinds of "meh" when I saw it, for people seem to really like it- and at least two people really really like it. Maybe it wasn't what I was expecting? I hate when that happens. It's never the movie's fault, after all. I think that's why so many people hate on The Exorcism of Emily Rose- while it was creepy at times, it wasn't the straight-up horror flick people wanted it to be. I knew that going in, and I dug it- it's totally the best episode of Law & Order ever!
  • Freddy's Revenge: the "Gaypex of Horror Cinema"!
  • I've never seen any of the Blind Dead films. I should rectify that.
  • I like Blair Witch 2! There, I said it. I've only seen it once, but I appreciated what they were trying to do with it.
  • I have The Kingdom sitting on my shelf, waiting for the perfect rainy day marathon viewing session. I should move somewhere it rains regularly. Or semi-regularly. Or more than eight times a year.
