"Drag Me To Hell was AWESOME. It was the Three Stooges meeting the Excorcist on a train through Awesometown. Sam Raimi has proven with Drag Me To Hell that he could direct Evil Dead 4 without it sucking. Hold on. Let me start at the beginning. Earlier in the day, my ladyfriend and I decided to go see Drag Me To Hell. I had been under the impression that DMtH would be a straight horror movie. I have a passing familiarity with Sam Raimi’s previous “horror” movies, but not until opening day of DMtH did I see it described as “slapstick horror”, and when I did see this description I started to get excited. I love… no, *love*… wait, LOVE the Evil Dead movies. I like horror movies well enough for the most part, but the comedy/action/horror of San Raimi’s older films tickles me deeply. I was a huge Three Stooges fan as a kid and Raimi manages to recreate that sort of mood mixed with his own gory, mystery goo-splattered flavor packet, and a dash of Dobbsian Discordianism. Overall, Sa ... "

"With tongue firmly in cheek, and then bitten down on, Sam Raimi, whose career has careened from low budget schlock to mega budget summer blockbusters, heads back to his original bread'n'butter with Drag Me To Hell. After a decade or so on the A-List superhero gravy train, Raimi gets back to his rootiest of roots with this gutsy spit-on-your-grave brouhaha of a motion picture. Just think, the best American film of the year so far and it is a silly retro horror flick full of demonic spirits, maggot-riddled vomit and that Goddamn MAC guy from TV. Of course this is exactly what Drag Me To Hell should be and wants to be. Giving out a giddy gross-out good ole time that one should come to expect from a well done horror movie, but that unfortunately one usually no longer gets, Drag Me To Hell is a throwback to the days of James Whale, Mario Bava, early Corman & Romero and to the slick bloody glee that was Dario Argento in his prime - even to Raimi's own early oeuvre of Evil Deads. I ... "

"There’s the SXSW of indie premieres, and then there’s the stuff the fanboys come for; the home of Ain’t It Cool News and the Alamo Drafthouse has an understandably enthusiastic place in its slate for midnight gorefests. So relax fanboys: Sam Raimi’s “work-in-progress” screening of May 29’s Drag Me To Hell (missing ambient sound and end credits, but generally looking ready to judge) showed the final product will give you what you want. There will be cartoonish gore and gleeful bad taste; yes, there will be Evil Dead shout-outs. Alison Lohman shall suffer the punishment of beautiful blonde women everywhere: she will atone for her selfishness, and she will do it in a wet t-shirt. The screening began 40 minutes late with, fittingly, an introduction from Harry Knowles himself. “I don’t know if the thought has gelled in your mind that we’re about to see the new Sam Raimi horror film,” he enthused, and the crowd whooped. Knowles indulge "

"The success of Slumdog Millionaire, despite our reservations about it, has got us thinking about romance in film. We look to another Westerner’s spin on Indian romance, Nina Paley’s Sita Sings the Blues. The animated feature, which is now available for free online, weaves an ancient Indian epic with a modern day break-up story, all with a soundtrack of vintage Annette Hanshaw. Then we look at Roman Holiday. A classic romance involving ro "
