"When I first saw the extended edition of The Wicker Man three years ago, I found it to be flawed, but parts of the film, particularly its incredible ending, stayed with me. I decided to see it again before the Neil LaBute remake comes out in the fall, and this time saw the theatrical cut. The movie is indeed very impressive, and its easy to see why this completely atypical film attracted a cult following- its atmosphere stays with you. It says something that Christopher Lee considers it the best film ever appeared in, and was so taken with the script that he worked for free. Part of the uniqueness of The Wicker Man is that it doesnt belong to a specific genre- despite the presence of Lee, its not really horror, and has elements of straight drama, thrillers and even musicals (yup, you do get hear Lee sing, and hes good- he wanted to be opera star before he became an actor). You shouldnt know too much of the story before you see the film, but the plot revolves around the conservative ... "

"This is a list for Round 2 of my movie year countdown viewing project as first described here. If by any strange chance whoever is reading this is actually following along you may notice that I'm still less than two thirds of the way through my original one. Well I'm starting this new one because as much as I love old movies it can get a little tedious watching just older movies. So I'm going to be blending my watching of the two lists together. Still focusing on the original one, but every once in a while sliding in the next entry from this new list.Again these new movies are limited to full length movies that are available on Netflix. And for this new round instead of picking a movie from every year, I will be picking a movie from every two years. For example the first movie must have come out during 2006 or 2007. The second movie must have come out in 2004 or 2005. The next in 2002 or 2003. You see.The list is not finished yet, but here is what I have decide ... "

"Almost two weeks since my last post. Inexcusable. What have I been doing with my time? I'll tell you what; I got an early christmas gift from Amber. An iPod, a big ol' 160gig mammoth. Every moment of free time since then has almost completely been spent at my(kinda slow) computer importing my massive CD collection. As of this writing I have just begun the Ps. By the time I finish my main CD collection, and have moved on to soundtracks, rap, country & surf, and then move on to those CDs of Amber's that I want copies of, I think I'll have used up most of that space. With just a bit left over for MST3K episodes that I can watch while on the treadmill at the gym. Rest assured I've been stockpiling my posts, and although I haven't typed or posted any, I have several pages of notes. There should be a flurry of activity coming up, as soon as I'm done with my iPod project. The Wicker Man is one of those almost inexcusable absences in my film-viewing career, ... "

"This film is a classic. It was a gem and then they remade it. I think remakes are a waste of time mostly anyway, but of all the films to choose to remake, why pick this one?This is an amazing film and whilst not being an outright horror, is in some ways horrifying. It has what must be one of the best endings in film history. I spent 3 months actaully studying this film for my A level Film class and to be honest, now it has become a fantastic joke between the people who were in that class. Despite how good it was, 3 months left it at a point of overkill and I can no longer manage to watch it in one sitting. But that is not because it is a bad film, merely that I have seen it too many times in too short a period of time and have had it tainted. This is a classic film and if you are thinking of seeing (or have seen the remake and know how bad it is), then please give this one a view as it is so much better. "

"Claudia Llosa's Madeinusa is a dark and disturbing film. At first it seems like a coming of age film, but quickly reveals itself to be a dark horror film similar to The Wicker Man. The film opens around Madeinusa (Magaly Solier) and her younger sister Chale (Yiliana Chong). Their relationship is not a sibling rivalry. Chale truly hates Madeinusa, and barely hides it in her actions which become progressively worse throughout the film. Add to this equation is the incestuous father Cayo (

"Several scenes in this movie make you curl your toes with discomfort, and the beautiful part is that you’re not sure why.It is obvious right away that there is just something peculiar about the towns’ folk. This peculiarity rollercoasters between the individual characters delving us into the erotic and the outright odd, until it crescendos in the final scene of the movie with a chilling clarity.translation ... I loved it. "

"There's something about this film that captivates me. I've recommended and loaned it to people so many times, and every time, without fail, he or she comes back and just stares at me... blankly. It creates such a strange and mysterious mood, it's genious. Victor and I both enjoy it thoroughly, and I've only known one or two others that have even seen it. The music throughout the film is so appropriate, and every time a scene comes along, there's no other song I can image fitting better. My favorite song, and scene, for that matter, is when Willow, the "Landlord's daughter" sings her siren's song. I recommend this film to anyone that loves themes in film like lost civilizations, horror, mystery and cult themes. Similar film, Susperia. "
