Honestly, do yourself a favor and DON"T see the movie. It was absolutely horrid. The books are one of my all time favorites series, but I actually went in with low expectations as there is just no way to adapt a series as massive as The Dark Tower into a single film and I still wound up coming out extremely disappointed. it was one of the worst films I have seen the last 5+ years running and ultimately did no service to the books at all. This film was just Hollywood trying to make money off of the popularity of both Stephen King and the Dark Tower. My advice is to fondly remember the books and skip this Hollywood drivel.

Another of the greats from this past decade. Director Neil Marshall, who Directed some of the very best episodes of Game of Thrones, creates a totally unique and intense horror experience with this film. A group of adventurous females find themselves trapped in a series of caves while being hunted by a mysterious force. The most uneasy claustrophobic feeling you'll likely ever get from a movie. The score and cinematography really stand out on this one. Gory, dark and pulls no punches. Nothing cliche about this film. One of my top ten favorite horror films of all time.

I really need to watch that again as its been a few years since I last saw it. One of the best horror films I have ever seen especially in regards to the director of photography. The film has such a claustrophobic feel to it. I actually suffer from a mild case of claustrophobia. I can handle places ike elevators, but anything smaller than that and I start having anxiety issues. Being pinned down so I can't move is when I really start to freak out. This film was shot so well and had such a legitimate claustrophobic feel to it that it really freaked me out. Far more so than most horror films. Just such a brilliant film.
Saw Blade Runner 2049 tonight and IMO, it was an absolute masterpiece. I was worried that it wouldn't live up to the original, but amazingly it reallly did. Just an outstanding job from everyone involved. I went over to IMDB after getting home from seeing it to read some what other people thought of it and this has to be one of the most polarizing films I have seen in a VERY long time as people either loved it or absolutely hated it. I am definitely one of the one's that loved it. I don't normally buy films on Blu Ray, but I can't wait for this to be released so I can see it again on my home theater.
