Fire in the Sky 1993, PG-13)
Great film that scarred the shit out of me as a kid, and still does a good job of doing so now. I only view this one during the day. The life like aliens are what makes it so scary for me. |

The Birth of a Nation 1915, Unrated)
I find this film as a surreal trip. Maybe in 1915 this was not but now in 2009, Ninety-Six years after The Birth of A Nation it seems way to politically incorrect for me, sometimes in a good way. The last 30 minutes of this film are, well, a history of this country a lot wish never really happened, nor was ever relevant at any time line. I like Birth, don't get me wrong. I recommend but I do advise that if you hate "long" movies or "silent crappy" movies you shouldn't call yourself anything more than a film goer and nothing close to a "buff" and totally skip this one. Along with Intolerance this is the "birth" of Cinema as we know it, then and now. |

Suspiria 1977, R)
Suspiria is a haunting piece of artwork. Dario Argento paints this masterpiece on a canvas, using Three Strip Techi-Color and Blood as his brushes and paint. |
