Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943)

Like any modern black comedy or rap music video, this cartoon is incredibly racist.

The Mist (2007)

When I first saw this movie, I felt that the ending was kind of forced and didn't work that well. My mind's been changed this time around, though, and I think it does rather fit with the overall pessimistic tone of the film. All-in-all, I found this a good film.

The Ninth Gate (1999)

The premise was good, and it started off interesting enough, but it became a slog through tedium in no time flat. If this movie was trying to make the case that Satanism is awe-inspiring and cool, it failed; more than ever, I believe the Prince of Darkness and his minions to be toothless old dogs with more bark than bite.

Alien Hunter (2003)

A watered-down ripoff of The Thing with a little bit of Independence Day thrown in the mix in a failed bid to spice things up. The best thing I can say about this movie is that it is perfectly harmless (and that Leslie Stefanson was nice to look at).

The Thing (1982)

I remember the first time I watched this film (or semi-watched; I missed half of it) I thanked God that no creature like the Thing actually existed. Suffice it to say, my reaction wasn't nearly that strong this time around (I've become the teeniest bit jaded over the years, after all), though I still feel kind of bad for that dog. All I can say, really, having now seen the movie in its entirety, is that it was a decent film, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again.

Halloween (2007)

I'd just like to say, up front, that I hold the original film in no high regard. Maybe if I had lived and seen it back in the 70's when it first came out - when the slasher subgenre was in its infancy - it would have meant something special to me; alas, as a kid of the 90's/00's, it's just an average film - better than the typical slasher film, but nothing stellar. With all that aside, I still have to say that this remake is a piece of shit. That's no surprise, though, seeing as this is a product of Rob Zombie, who is a connoisseur of shit. Everything was unnecessarily ugly and gritty, not one single character - expect Danny Trejo's - was the least bit sympathetic, and the "heroine" was an annoying, unlikeable bitch who should have been brutally murdered but wasn't for some stupid reason. It's a sad thing when the only good performance in this turd of a movie came from a pair of kids in one scene late in the film.

The Strangers (2008)

I honestly don't mind movies with unhappy endings where the villain wins, but the protagonists should still get a few good hits in before the time for them to bite the bullet comes. That never happens in this bland, lifeless, uninspired film; Liv Tyler and her boyfriend/husband/whatever just keep failing again and again up to the very end *yawn*. If I never see this movie again, it'll be too soon.

The Hitcher (2007)

As far as remakes go, this is far from bad. That doesn't make it any less pointless or the boyfriend any less of a stupid douchebag, however.

Trick 'r Treat (2007)

To be quite honest, this was a better film than I expected it to be. While being something of an uneven, haphazard mess, it was still endearing in how completely weird it was (seeing Dylan Baker as a Halloween candy-poisoning faux-vampire who gets devoured by a coven of werewolves is indeed a sight to behold).

Supergirl (1984)

God, I knew this was going to be a bad movie, but nowhere near as bad as it turned out to be. Supergirl as a dumb blonde with a horrible taste in men? Faye Dunaway as a witch with a horrible taste in men? God, it all just puts a horrible taste in my mouth. Peter O'Toole's drunken(?) performance and the scene where two truckers try to rape Supergirl were the only enjoyable parts in this awful piece of garbage.
