The Uninvited (1944). An excellent, well-told, atmospheric ghost story.
A Million Ways to Die in the West.
Overall, reasonably funny. Grandma laughed more and more loudly than I.
The two problems I have with Seth McFarland's material is:
1) He just has to push the joke or gag one level more past optimum funniness so rather than just letting getting the joke, he throws it in your face.
2) When he crosses the line from funny to okay, got it, and past that to unfunny, he can be simply anti-funny, and that detracts from the viewing enjoyment of what otherwise is a pretty humorous tale.
The other problem I have with him is that as writer, producer, and director, he casted himself as lead and got to make out with Charlize Theron, but that's just my problem and no one else's, and it's just resentful envy on my part.
It's an entirely vulgar movie, and you just accept contemporary dialogue in a setting of 130 years ago. It's no modern Blazing Saddles, but as a sendup of the Western genre, it's good enough. If you wait for it to come to free TV, it won't do well. It's just too coarse, and you'll miss a third of the movie from cuts or bleep-outs.

When Neil Patrick Harris emergency-defecates into someone's hat, then another, that was funny enough as it was. But doggone it if Seth just didn't have to show one of the hats on the ground with the ugly runny mess inside. Dude, it was funny when he was done with the hats. Move on.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Liked it more than the first movie, it's really funny.
Just the other day, I entered a room where someone was watching this. After about 30 seconds of glancing at the screen, I asked "Is this supposed to be like Blazing Saddles?"
I didn't stick around to watch it, though.
I watched Horns the movie based off Joe Hill's book. I liked it
Did a re-watch of Terminator 2 Judgement Day, this time on bluray. What an awesome movie!! There are two versions listed on this disc- Theatrical Version and Special Extended Version. What isn't listed is a third version! If any of you have this one bluray, you can go to the 'Pick Version' drop-down menu, click on it and you will see that at the bottom there are five asterik's. Hit your 'down' arrow button until you're on that line and type in 82997 and it will play another version that is two minutes longer than the 'Extended' version and gives you a whole new ending!!! Happy viewing!!!
I finally watched a movie I've for years been meaning to watch titled Pi. It's interesting and fun for people who like a movie featuring a descent into madness.
I watched Rob Zombie's House Of A 1000 Corpse's. Not a bad movie but reminds me a lot of Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Then you'll like The Devil's Rejects, Rob Zombie's follow up movie. Too Sadistic for me, and the mood of the movie is like living in a nightmare. I don’t think I could watch it twice.
Yesterday I watched Scaramouche (1952) and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012). Both enjoyable.
Oh yeah, I definitely like his music. Been listening to him since White Zombie was around back in the day. Zombie's Halloween remakes were awesome also.I like his music, though! Dragula and Living Dead Girl are two of my absolute favorites!
I thought McFarland's speech about living in the West while they are sitting in the saloon was the best part of the movie. Not a great movie overall, but it had some funny parts.
Just finished watching The Hunger starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and (a very young) Susan Sarandon. Released in 1983 but it still holds up! I think Director Tony Scott (RIP) made a couple of obvious nods to Hitchcock in this one (think blond woman, an attic and lots of pigeons). Great performances all around. Sarandon smolders. Based on the novel by Whitley Strieber.
The Maze Runner - action packed, but you'll need to wait for a sequel for it to make sense.
Annabelle - routine horror about a possessed doll.

I saw this at the theatre when it first came out - kinda gory, but quite good overall.
The Blues Brothers, for the umpteenth. Just need the fix on occasion.
Brick Mansions

Movie adaptation of Kings Gramma, i didnt like it, thought it was quite boring.
Watched The Man Who Knew Too Little. Bill Murray's always fun for me, but he is the only reason to watch the movie once. Then watched the first 25% of What About Bob? Before having to leave for work. I never tire of how brilliant Richard Dreyfus is in this movie.
