I had no intention of seeing this movie whatsoever, but my roommate rented it so I stuck it through and it turned out to be better in every way than the Raimi's -- despite how much I enjoyed Raimi's. A stronger, tighter, more interesting character with better chemistry between Garfield and Stone and inventive action sequences utilizing all three physical dimensions. --DiB

Everything you come to expect from Lord of the Rings, with additional slapstick action and a shrooming hippy wizard rabbit sledder because stoner humor, that's why.--DiB

Begotten eventually wins you over with its incessant protracted sequences and abject revision of the genesis story, whereas this is basically a visual appendix to that piece remaking Fantasia's Rite of Spring early sequences. --DiB

The script obviously was written to ride off of Se7en's audience, but Merhige can't help taking the paranormal investigator aspect seriously; playing off of the popular conspiracy theory about psychic CIA operatives, the movie extends it to the FBI. Merhige elevates the script with some interesting headache and psychic input abstract montages but not much saves this generic thriller from itself. --DiB

This movie is one of those loving homages that feels like Merhige wants to own the original as his own child; nevertheless the casting wins it over with Malkovich portraying Murnau as a sacrificial high priest of cinema and Defoe as an antsy, irritated aging vampire both camera shy and obsessed with the lead actress. It's not a very chilling movie but quietly crazy. --DiB

This experimental feature has gained some cult status from reuse of its imagery in Shadow of the Vampire and Marylin Manson videos. Unfortunately it's one of those 'films' that should be seen on film, as the optical-printer post-production effects are based on the emulsion medium itself. Anyway, think a visceral and gory Kenneth Anger: Merhige is a religious relationship to cinema and this is his genesis story.-DiB

The Scary Movies were redundant because Scream was already funny. In Scream 4, Craven updates the series to match new trends while keeping true to the series and making sure the movie is still actually good -- like Shaun of the Dead, which he references at one point. Very creative use of cellphones and webcams without turning into a found footage piece. The only problem is the dragged out multiple openings. --DiB

Showcases an enormous visual talent on par with Buster Keaton's technical tricks, but his sensibilities are closer to Charlie Chaplin's. Nevertheless he had the audacity to poke fun at conventions under totalitarian rule, so despite the fact that he's clearly making fun of religion and greed as much as state and anything else, still Soviet Russia was not amused.--PolarisDiB
