Oldboy
I must admit, when I started this movie, Oldboy, I was skeptical of enjoying it. However, upon finishing it I found it incredibly entertaining. I have a hard time saying I liked it because it disturbed the daylights out of me. If Freud and Lacan were right about the biggest and first taboo the ego learns is incest this movie incarcerates the idea.

Candyman
I measure a scary movie not by how much I flinch while watching it, but by how long it stays with me after I finish watching it. If it scared me while watching it’s more entertaining than scary. If a few hours, or nights, after I watch a film it still makes me jumpy then it’s scary.

Simpler Times
I wish I was alive during simpler times. In a time when I could just sit on a log and tell people stories or the random nonsense that comes to mind. I’d miss a few things, but I think I’d be much happier overall.
