Freaks

We live in a digital age where movies have incredible picture quality and are readily available for download - therefore there's something to be said for watching a movie from a long-gone era (1932).

As for the movie itself it is kinda odd to see it now as elements from it have been replicated in movies that have followed (such is the march of both time and progress one may assume). But no matter: there is certainly some ghoulishness to Freaks and it certainly has some bite to it that makes it still work decades later. 

Kinda makes you wonder if the movies being made today will have the same kind of staying power....

Let the Right One In

Well seeing as it's October now would be a good time as any to see some Horror movies. I'm not the biggest fan of horror movies so maybe seeing a clutch of them once a year seems somewhat fitting. 

As for the movie itself, I'm not sure this really counts as a horror movie. It didn't give me any scares or make me jump. True there were some grotesque moments but really I think this was really more a romance between Oskar and Eli. Still as a vampire movie this one is superb and as a movie about two social outcasts this one is a winner.

Predators

This movie isn't going to be easy to assess without repeating what has already been said. But what the hey: This was a lot of fun and it's great to see the Predator franchise finally claw back some credibility. Oh and Alice Braga 🙂

The Muppets

Well there's not much I can say: I, like most people, loved the Muppets when I was a kid and thought this movie was a right laugh. 

But all that has been said before so let me say this: This movie was clearly made with a passion - a passion from people who loved the source material and treated it with the utmost respect. And it worked like a charm which is something that rarely happens (really it should happen more).
