watched john carpenters "the thing" and "prince of darkness" over the weekend.

PoD was alright...gave it 3/5...kinda a cool idea, but it seemed very slow paced...and the "zombies" or whatever weren't that scary

"the thing" was awesome...now that's a good movie...and kurt russell is a badass...plus john heard (i think) and wilford brimley...hard to beat that...but the creature/alien was cool, the setting was cool, the story was cool..it was just...cool

I've got that currently and watched about 1/2 of it. Lately I've had a hard time watching movies straight through? For all the hype its much slower than I expected.

finished john carpenters "apocalypse trilogy" with "in the mouth of madness"...it was good, and i really like sam neil as an actor...gave it 3/5...

i would rank them as "the thing", "ITMOM", then "prince of darkness"

The Rob Zombie version of Halloween was a nice treat.

Very, very slow. Very depressing too. Marissa Tomei looked amazing though. And this was interesting:
during the first backstage wrestling scene, Mickey Rourke's character shakes hands with a wrestler that is huge and jacked to the gills. That wrestler died from heart failure a few weeks before the movie's release. Also, there is a scene where another huge and overly muscular wrestler sells several illegal muscle enhancers to Rourke's character. That wrestler was recently arrested for selling drugs.
