Ugh, it does? I just groaned through the whole thing.

the Kevin Smith thing?

Kevin Smith was the least talented person ever to become really famous until Paris Hilton and reality television shows took off.

I am unsure of the above comment as I've only seen about 5 minutes of any Kevin Smith film, that being Dogma.

Kevin Smith is horrible.
This movie does actually look like things besides just incredibly annoying dialog happen, though. Is it called Red State just to piss people off?

The Ayrton Senna doc looks very cool. Saw the trailer when I went to see The Guard.

How was The Guard?

Eastern Promises was probably a better made flick than History of Violence - but I enjoyed the latter more - I'd rather see Viggo go at it with that milf-y gal rather than the waif sex slaves and rolling around nekkid in the sweathouse.

Well sure Maria Bello in a cheerleader suit was awesome socks, but Viggos char in EP was so epically badass, and the film had such a great last scene, that I enjoyed it more. Even tho the steam bath scene is incredibly hard to watch without looking away.

I actually kinda disliked William Hurt's character in HoV. Ill pull out the dvd soon and rewatch to see if it holds up a third time.

Entertaining but far from a must see, black comedy.

Just watched this tonight. Freaked me the hell out.

Does an excellent job of mimicking/mocking current reality tv "ghost-hunting" shows and it makes it out to be what anyone who is a fan of said "ghost-hunting" shows wish would happen. I really like how it ratherly shamelessly makes fun of current ghost-hunting shows, even going so far as to use the equipment and language that they use.

If you can get past the "Blair Witch" feel of it: the setting is creepy, the direction and atmosphere very haunting, and the jump-scares are not overused and are well-placed. It takes a while to get past the acting, but if you stick with it, it's very well worth it.

8.5 out of 10. Check it out if you can.
