"Paul Thomas Anderson. Magnolia. I just really love it. I mean, yeah, There Will be Blood is also a close contender; I love that too. But Magnolia — the audacity of it. I watched that movie and it’s scary by the end of it [laughing]. You’ve gone through this sort of tapestry of humanity that I feel is very hard to match in a lot of cinema these days. He is always surprising me, but that movie just… He finds a way to get the drama — he has a moment where everyone starts breaking out in unified song. And it feels totally authentic and earned. I’ve never seen a movie that does that but didn’t feel indulgent."

"This really scared me coming out of it. You knew it was made for 10 cents – that was obvious – but it actually had some fabulous performances. Some of the moments – like when Leatherface kicks open the door and comes after them – I mean your blood just runs cold. It was just amazingly visceral visual storytelling. A few years earlier, I was at college and I wrote a synopsis for a novel and my teacher feedback was “this would make a great movie!” And I was crestfallen, but it made me realise I had a great visual imagination as well, and for years I fought it but eventually realised that was the thing I could do"

"It stars Gregory Peck and Lee Remick as a couple who gives birth to the Bad Guy’s son. And how do you know? Well, he’s got 666 somewhere on his skull, and you got to move the hairs apart. I mean, it’s just very scary stuff, but when you really think about it, not a lot of blood and gore. There’s a scene where a guy is walking with the intent of hurting [the son, Damien], and then all of a sudden the truck rolls down a hill and decapitates the guy. You’re kind going, ‘What the Hell?’ And layer after layer of the story peel away until finally, later on, you understand.”

Ok i am going to say i really enjoyed this western. I thought it had the right amout of action in this western.
A great story from the point of view Tonto (Johnny Depp) on how him and John Reid, the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) met.

Now the down fault of this movie is that it was under the Disney Flag. If they held off till they had another studio (FOX) and put it out under that studio flag it would have done better. Just seem to violent for a disney movie and alot of adult hummor. Now if they ever plan to remake it again under Disney i would tie in Thunder Mountain and less blood.
  
True Blood  - Season 2
True Blood - Season 2
2009 | Sci-Fi
Season Two of True Blood is probably one of my favorite seasons. I feel like the storytelling was complex and interesting enough to hold my attention better.
The best part of this season was learning more about Eric, and his relationship with Godric. The next best story line is Jason's, with him joining the crazy, fundamentalist church. It was hilarious because it was so true to life.
I'm not a huge fan of Tara or Arlene in general, so those were the sections of the eps that I found tedious.
Of course, this season ends with a huge and intriguing cliff-hanger, and you have to prepare to meet the newest supernatural species in the next season.

Childhood horror!
Brilliant little vampire film!

Thus is a film about two men on the run from the law trying to flee over the Mexico boreder, with the police hot on there tail they have to find away, unfortunately it's to commandeer a Christian family and there r.v, from there they take the family to the meeting point, a nice lively bar called titty twisters. Everything is fine until a fight breaks out and a little blood is she'd it's then this film really starts with a fight to survive against a vampire horde that just don't stop coming many die but who will live...... definitely worth the watch for an old cheesy horror!!!
