We watched the Innkeepers last per a suggestion by someone on here (i forget who). It was genuinely creepy and a good horror movie.

It really takes a lot to give me the booboo-jeebies, but man this movie creeped me the [expletive] out at times. I wasn't a fan of the ending, but I'm usually not a fan of movies that give me no closure. Other than that, good flick if you're into horror.

To Rome With Love was maximum Woody Allen. Once you get over the overwritten script and potentially alienating to some singularly Woody Allen point of view, it is a fun, absurdist, funny movie with an abundance of beautiful Roman scenery.

I liked it, but I'm at peace with taking the good with the too much Woody in his films.

Btw, if you are uncomfortable/embarassed with going to a theater solo but have no alternative, going to a Woody Allen movie during the early runs of a super hero blockbuster, a Pixar release, a movie about male strippers, a generic sexy action thriller and a comedy about a sentient stuffed bear is probably your best case scenario. You will be among friends.

"Deconstructing Harry" was the closest I've ever come to walking out of a movie in a theater.

I thought it was a lot of fun. I already want to watch it again, even if it's not great.

Probably my least favorite Woody Allen film, although there are a number since this film was released that I have not seen. I think I almost threw up during this film but it was probably due more to the jerky hand-held camera.

There is a porn spoof of The Artist. I'll watch it and judge whether I want to watch the real thing off it.

Silent porn isn't a bad idea. Do we need to hear them reading lines?
