Dead Silence was practically unwatchable. I know a dozen better movies about living dolls.
I know Dead of Night. Is that Hopkins movie Magic any good?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

You know what's a really great black and white film?

Cape Fear.

Fuck yeah, but you'd probably be repulsed by that hideous redhead, Ann-Margaret.

I liked it a lot but there were some possible inconsistencies.
I noticed some too.

The flight they used was Sydney to LA, a possible homage to Lost.

I think Scorsese would do a homage to Godard or Powell before Lost.

Probably right about Scorsese, but Inception was directed by Christopher Nolan.

Jenston. Much better than the remake, and I say that as a huge Scorcese fan.

I saw that ages ago, but I remember not being fond of the last portion of the film, that it was too different in tone from the first portion of the film.
