Since my last post I've seen/re-seen:

Schindler's List - Wow! (5/5)

Wayne's World - I'm not quite sure why I enjoyed this one so much, but I did. The multiple endings gag was pretty stupid. But then again, so was most of the film.

(3/5)

Snakes on a Plane - I can't imagine anyone other than Samuel L. Jackson taking the lead in this one. It's not perfect, but it's never boring. (3/5)

A Nightmare on Elm Street - Starting to show it's age a little now, but definitely one of my favourite horror films and one of Craven's best. (4/5)

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge - Disjointed plot and unintentionally homoerotic death scene let down what I thought was an otherwise enjoyable film. (2.5/5)

Apocalypse Now - Loses half a mark for the final half hour. Not quite sure what was going on there but I had been up 'til 2am so maybe my dwindling attention was the problem, not the film. (4.5/5)

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors - Craven was back on board for this one and it showed. More of an "official" sequel to the first film than Freddy's Revenge. (3/5)

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master - More of a wise-cracking Freddy than in the previous films. The writers seemed more interested in killing off characters as quickly and gruesomely as possible than actually trying to construct a plot of any sorts. Saying that though, the deaths are always fun to watch.

(2/5)
