    ***Official CABIN FEVER Discussion Thread

    I agree. When I first saw it ,there was pretty much only word of mouth about the film. it was all that this film was rutal and a return to horror roots.needless to say when i saw it i was a bit confused. i enjoyed it but itdidnt sit right with me. anyway i thought about it for a while and came...

    aww man. don't be hatin on winston. i see this film as a teeny slasher flick that accidentally got blended together with some buneul sensibilites. i also felt it was suspenseful at times, but this mainly has to do with the score, and less to do with the other filmmaking elements. anyway...

    Chuck, I agree that part was pretty dumb. It was intended to be played off for laughs. Personally I just thought the character was just f$$king around, since he seemed to be kind of a dumb ass. I didn't kind it funny. What I did find funny is when they were talkign about Berkeley and having...

    i thought cabin fever did what it was intending to do perfectly. its not a staright horror or a comedy. its just horror in an absurdist PJist with bits of satiral jabs and reflections on the genre sprinkled throughout. some parts were just funny some, some were creepy. personally i dont find...

    Spoilers to me the deer was supposed to look fake, him falling into the reservoir and jeffs death were supposed to be obvious. the movie does not really take itself to seriously, and much of it is a satire on these types of horror films. i like the fact that there is a bunch of unanswered...

    *** Official "WRONG TURN" Discussion Thread

    I don't understand all the love for this. I am a huge horror fan and this movie is plain garbage. I don't understand why people think its so shocking that this film was released by a big studio. Hell the films seems like it was created by a big studio from start to finish with no concept of how...

    Mulholland Drive edited?

    yeah i think this arguement has gone pretty far on very limited information. we have it from lynch why he did it but dont really know the circumstances surrounding it. it would be when he called her back to finish MD as a full length feature, she made this request and lynch accepted, because...

    NEW MEMENTO SE: Info

    i dont understand why you would even wanna watch this movie in chronological order. it would be boring. and its not too hard to figure out whats going on anyway. I'm glad that the option isnt on the disc. I'd rather have better supplimental stuff that adds to the story. that is just me tho. for...

    twist endings

    i think that summed it up pretty good. "the game" is a prime example of throwing logic completely out the window for the sake of the twist ending

    twist endings

    see for me i think the game had no substance and usual suspects was well executed. after i got done watching "the game" i was actually angree that it tricked me into wasting 2 hours.

    twist endings

    Brazil is classic. Its amazing how stupid the head of Universal was about the whole thing. After seeing his cut tho, I think the whole situation made him kinda nutty. How did he possibly think he could make Brazil into a different movie and make it profitable.

    twist endings

    they i thought unbreakable had a terrible ending. it seemed they just tacked in on because it worked so well to have a twist on "sixth sense". i thought the whole movie was pretty terrible and didnt really know where it was going the whole time. thats just me tho. oh yeah in Return of the Jedi...
