Was that Strahan they meet when they first get out of the jeep?

Though I'd never seen Abel Ferrara's original, I'd been looking forward to seeing this. The visual aesthetics of a direct-to-DVD release doesn't sound too positive, but I'm glad Cage is good in this. He needs it. 'Adaptation' was his last great performance.

The zither score is definitely tight. I need to watch the film again, as I wasn't able to give it a proper spin the first time around. I love Cotten and I love Welles, so there's no reason this film wouldn't be completely up my alley.

They would be wise to learn from 'Blair Witch II,' which was a conventional "Hollywood" film, no longer using handheld cameras and no longer even relating to the original, aside from the title. It would be far smarter to just devise a similar scenario to 'Paranormal Activity' and slap a '2' on the title. i don't think the film needs any company and stands alone perfectly on its own.

I need an 'Invictus' trailer like nobody's business. The damn thing's out in six weeks!

Seeing a hammered Kanye was kind of amusing. The end of the short was definitely trippy, but oddly endearing.

Finally saw it tonight. The experience was awful, but the I enjoyed the hell out of the film. Sadly, it's one of those films you're bound to get loud teenagers in, unless you sat through an uninspired matinee. They just wouldn't shut up and they were everywhere, but whatever. I was given goosebumps from pure fear at one point and Peli sure knows how to ratchet up the suspense. Definitely worthy of the hype.

The "Red Riding" miniseries is playing at the AFI Fest in LA in a couple of weeks, which I wanted to check out, but it's playing alongside films I want to see slightly more. It sounds pretty sweet.

I saw the "State of Play" miniseries right before the film came out and enjoyed it. Now, I have the film sitting on my TV stand in its Netflix sleeve, as it's been for the past few weeks.

I think the adaptations are good from a standpoint of lending exposure to the source material, but don't know if paring them down by more than 50% in runtime is a good enough exercise.

I love the bottom of the 'Into the Darkness' poster. "Coming Soon. 2011." Wow, that's right around the corner! And why is there even a teaser poster for that movie? There's no one in it. Strange.

The guy playing Welles looks pretty sweet. With quick glances, he resembles him a lot. This could be interesting.
