The Thing (1982)
Just a thought
This is one of those movies that i keep revisiting, and always enjoy. Now, i know it's a remake already - but am I the only one here who would like to see a remake of this remake? And i DON'T mean with cheesy CGI like in "Escape from L.A". The effects in The Thing are imho great for its time, but that's just it.. I'd like to see an updated version. Before Kurt gets too old.. :D
Generally i don't care much for remakes.. they tend to be.. sucky. This, however, would be an experiment i'd like to see made.
I ALMOST feel the same way about Escape from N.Y, but having seen Escape from L.A, i know how technology can muck things up and i guess it would be impossible to catch that same feeling nowadays..what with the excellent music-score and Ernest Borgnine and whatnot in the 'original'. I still think Kurt could pull it off, though. :) Carpenter rocks!
The Boston Strangler (2006)
Not A Complete Review
I've always had a thing for 'serial-killer-murder-movies', so of course i jumped at the chance to view this one. I'm sure that it has it's qualities, but the music... holy cr... I mean, c'mon. There's this underlying synth-thingie that becomes more or less audible depending on what's being said. That may work in some cheezy horrorflick... but it really put me off this one. Sad but true.
I found myself listening more to the "crescendos" of the music rather that what was being said. So.. i cannot honestly say that I've seen the movie.
Am i being picky? mayhap, but since i could not get past the (sort of) music, there was little or no treasure for me in this one. :(
