"Though the third Fast and the Furious installment, Tokyo Drift, wasn’t a huge box office disappointment with its $63 million domestic gross, it was significantly less successful than its predecessors, The Fast and the Furious ($145 million) and 2 Fast 2 Furious ($127 million). A fourth film would normally see an even bigger drop in box office receipts, but next week’s Fast & Furious has a good chance of actually being the highest-grossing film in the series yet, due to the return of original cast members Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordanna Brewster and, most im "

"Happy autumn! Today marked the fall equinox for the Northern hemisphere, and while the season can be a depressing one for mainstream moviegoers (at least until Thanksgiving ushers in the holiday blockbusters and Oscar-bait releases), it is otherwise a wonderful time of the year. Having grown up in New England, I’ve always had a great appreciation for the changing leaves, the brisk weather, the pumpkin and apple picking and the foodie holidays (as a rather chunky kid, I really only liked Halloween for the candy and Thanksgiving for the stuffing of my face). I even looked forward to going back to school every September. But autumn can be a great season for cinephiles, too, despite the significant lack of worthwhile theatrical releases. For one thing, the colder weather, particularly the colder nights, keeps us indoors more often for DVD watching. For another thing, the season has lent itself nominally and spirtually to some great films by the likes of Ozu, Bergman and Rohmer, among o ... "

"I saw The Exorcist for the first time last night, and while I was ready to have the tuna salad scared out of me, I thought it was pretty low on the fright-o-meter. There are definitely several "whoa" scenes where you can't believe that what's onscreen is actually happening, but that doesn't make it scary. It would definitely be terrifying to be in the same room with a possessed Regan and the paranormal activity that occurs is pretty mesmerizing, but that doesn't make it scary either. What stood out to me was the intensity of the exorcism scene and how well Max von Sydow played his part throughout the sequence. It was some hardcore, ghostbustin' ass shit with a devilish twist, but I wasn't nearly as freaked out by it as I was with Rosemary's Baby, which I consider to be a much better fil "

"Having re-watched Escape From New York after not having seen it all the way through in years, I was really struck how similar in tone this is to Halloween, particularly in how from when Snake first lands to the end there's that great sense of Carpenterian dread that death is lurking just outside of the frame, due to the figures dashing around in the shadows and the quick zinger music cues. I was also struck by how much good-natured fun the movie is. It's a fairly dark film, but filled with some really corny jokes, e.g. the recurring "I heard you were dead" line that almost make it a light-hearted romp. "

"The third part in Universal’s rebooted Mummy franchise takes the series in a new direction. Rather than set in Egypt and dealing again with the same old villain, Imhotep, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor brings us to China and gives us a different sort of preserved corpse baddie. And it looks like the change could actually add some freshness to the franchise. Of course, history would hint that such a move for the Mummy movies is a bad idea. While it seems beneficial in theory to redirect the focus of a series with the third installment, especially if the first sequel was too much a repetition of the original (a la The Mummy Returns), in practice many threequels mistakenly alter things for the worse. These aren’t necessarily the worst threequels ever made (*cough*

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.HalloweenI just saw this movie for the first time, and believe it or not I've still never seen Friday the 13th or A Nightmare on Elm Street. I guess the slasher type movie has never had any big appeal to me. I'm actually more interested in seeing them just to have the cultural reference. It's not that I don't enjoy the better ones, but I can't imagine there will ever be one that will make my list of favorite movies.I can see why this one is considered the classic though. It's just simplicity that makes it work. And since I probably don't have too much more to say about it that hasn't been mentioned enough times (especially with all the rabid horror fans on this site), I'll just leave it at that.Rating: 7/10 "

"Without a doubt the best horror movie ever made. What makes it so great is its subtlety. It’s not super gory. The violence is understated, with more of an emphasis on suspense & “atmosphere”. This is largely due to the fact that the filmmakers were working on a shoestring budget. I say thank goodness. Definitely a case of “less is more”. "
