I think it's a bit overrated. Idk, it lacks...something. Probably just me.
I read a few reviews from people who had too high expectations going into the movie .. it being Hitchcocks fav movie and all.

Some things were a little weird, like the relationship between the detective and Charlie, it went way too quickly for my liking .. but I did love the way the movie was shot




the Host,

Idk why but the name of the movie doesn't speak to me at all.

I haven't watched all of Hitchcock's movies but I've seen a lot of them. That one is not high up my list.

Still the acting of Uncle Charlie's character was strong and creepy

I liked her better than him.  :-\

Evil Things (2009)

It was on TV and I was folding and washing clothes. I left it on and kept waiting for the entertaining and/or scary part to begin. Yeah, right! It's bad, very bad, really bad. Stay away from this one.

I watched Dark Skies last night and my view is: as a sci-fi flick it was a complete waste of time (far too similar to The Forgotten), but as a scary movie, it worked really well. 

Had to get a little closer to the missus a couple of times at the creepy bits, which is a good sign as it ain't a common event...

Big minus though is it really has to have a second part otherwise it is pointless.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Deadline (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242618/
Quite suspenseful, without over use of the Jump Scare
The atmos music was a bit over-done though  :(
Where did the printer come from ?  :D
Not as bad as the IMDB would make you think
6/10

Donnie Brasco (1997).  DVD from the library.

Johnny Depp. Al Pacino.  excellent cast.  true story.  Reasonably well acted.  Had Anne Heche as Depp's long suffering wife.  I just never could warm up to that actress.  She's technically good, but there's something missing. 

The movie was entertaining but a bit long.  Somehow it didn't really hang together for me.  7/10.

I can understand that. I feel the same way.

Salmon fishing - It's a nice easy going movie.Nothing too demanding to watch and i love this style of movie.
A typical British love story
Apparently when this movie was released the tourist office was inundated with enquiries to go fishing in the Yemen  ;D
