It contains probably the funniest moment I have seen in a film this year as well. (Vending machine part for those who have seen the film.)

Actually INTOLERANCE a silent film from 1916 is listed as having two decapitation scenes.

love this movie...it has everything you could ever want in a horror film creepy weird English actor, cute American girl who can control all insects with her mind, weird recluse that lives down the street, a monkey with a straight razor and a pool which is full of every worst bio hazard you could think of....and a monkey decapitating someone with a piece of sheet metal

^Such a strange movie. I didn't feel it was really that well put together, but thumbs up for a really creepy baddy. And for having a Norwegian girl as the first victim!

it's Dario Argento! put together is irrelevant!

and that opening scene over the waterfall is one of my favorites

Best movie I've seen in a very, very long time. It has to be the best deconstruction of a genre I've seen, but at the same time it was unbelievably enjoyable as a film on its own. Absolutely hilarious.

9.5/10

Watched my all-time favorite film today, Unforgiven.

I've seen quite a few movies since my last post.

Perfect Blue

This is an anime thriller. The protagonist is a pop star, but changes career to become an actor in a popular television series. As a new actor, she is asked to do more and more depraved things, something she forces herself to do in order not to disappoint those who helped her in her career. While she is developing a sort of identity crisis, a murderous stalker starts hunting down people close to her and eventually the star herself.

Perfect Blue is very much a psychological thriller. It's the sort of movie where you wonder if what happens is really happening or if it's all in the mind of the protagonist. It was an enjoyable watch and often lovely to look at, but I did think that it went a little too far in its mind****ery. The problem of figuring out what's real or not gets too difficult to figure out eventually and you feel like you just have to basically wait it out and see what happens. I find I get a little disconnected with the film when that happens.

Still, it was a good film and people who really like to be kept guessing might like it even more. 7/10!

The Hunger Games

This was obviously a movie aimed at a younger audience than me. The story, the premise and how people act in this film feels slightly naive and often quite fake. Would people really make these choices under these circumstances? I think not. Either way, although the movie also felt a little long-winded, there was plenty of excitement and Jennifer Lawrence was a joy to watch, although I preferred her excellent performance in Winter's Bone.

I'm sure I would've liked it more had I been 10-15 years younger, but it was alright. I guess I'd give it something like a 6.5 out of 10.

Just watched the newest Resident Evil movie last night. I was slightly disappointed, just didn't have the feel of the original or the second movie. Seems like they're just trying to drag on the series/
