Huh. I remember the medium in "The Orphanage" behaving differently than the way you described it-- but perhaps I am confusing her with the medium in George C. Scott's "The Changeling" (which I saw after "The Orphanage"). I just found the medium scene a little crazy - and pointless? I get that Laura needed a reason to be assured that the ghosts were real. But it just seems to me that if they have the ability to just walk into a house and then five minutes later be chatting with ghosts and taping the conversation, then the parents and indeed the world should be in no doubt. It was just that one scene that I didn't like. ---- Dude, review Dawn of the Dead! The remake, before the director started to suck with slow-mo! That's an idea! I actually am really not a fan of that director, and I love the original Dawn of the Dead - but I hear the movie is amazing. I have seen it - but such a long time ago that I don't remember anything about it. Cheers!

I thought the medium didn't reassure her after the session but just tried to get the hell out after it happened without telling the mother much of anything (which means my brain's got it wrong since you've seen it more recently than I did). That car wreck scene still makes me jump out of my skin though.

The medium did seem to get the hell out, yeah. That another thing that annoyed me about that whole sequence. I think it was just filler. It didn't seem to impact anything at all, depsite the enormoity of what had happenned.
The car wreck was great. I liked a lot of the spooky moments and jump scares. I thought they were used in clever ways, and sparingly.

Zack Snyder, forgot his name. As for more horror...well i dont think the Terminator counts since it;s more of a action piece. But still, it has quite a few good scares here and there and cool bits of Arnold pulling his eye out.

The Terminator is already one of my favourite movies, so it definitely doesn't count. Gorvar - do you prefer the first movie or the second one?

Well I prefer the second one because the T-1000 has a neat way to make you paranoid of everyone in the film and i like the character arc for the T-800. Also the theme of changing the future was always very powerful to me, that everyone can create their own destiny......until T3 happend. Oh god did that happen.... Liked the Sarah Conner Chrnicles tho.

I like the first one best myself. I like my plots simple, I really like Kyle Reese and the romance, and I loved Arnold as a menacing robotic villain. Just thought he was more intimidating than Robert Patrick. But I love the second movie too - no doubt. Wonderful film.
T3 and the new movie - I honestly didn't hate them, just thought they were a little annoying, especially the way they contradict the original two.

Exactly. Plus, you can kind of deny their existence on the basis that the second movie pretty much ruled them out as impossible. The third one, anyway.
--
I kind of like Highlander 2, by the way! And the rest of the sequels too. (Freaking LOVE 'The Source') I feel like they are simply SO horrible - so funny - that I can't hate them. I can't take them seriously enough, you know?
The ones that REALLY bothered me are the Star Wars prequels and Alien 4.

Yeah, i see your point....get it, because Highlanders has swor-ah forget it.
I even hated Alien 3, that movie can go to hell for killing Newt and Hicks!

I liked Prometheus for what it was, and i can come up with some answers for the plot holes. But I admit in hindsight....it;s not the proper prequel to Aliens. At all.

I just cannot imagine how people liked it - regardless of it being a poor / nonsensical prequel, rehardless of its list of plot holes -- just the quality of the movie in itself. I just don't get how people enjoy it even as a story.

I just liked the visuels mostly, Ridly Scott always made his movies look interesting. The designs of the aliens, the planet, the ships....

I think brocolli looks nice, but I'm not going to enjoy eating it.
Ahhh. I just really hate that movie. I'm sure I'm being too harsh to it, or it just happens to hit my buttons. I just loathed it.
