Yeah. Let's just say I fully endorse The Descent. Must've accidentally scrolled past it on my first read.

More coffee, please.

Here's a few of my favorite lesser known horror flicks...

Slither -- (2006, written and directed by James Gunn). An amalgam of horror staples, part The Blob, part Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and part Night of the Living Dead with a HEAVY dose of comedy. Plus, it stars Nathan Fillion, (Firefly, Castle) and Michael Rooker Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Dog Soldiers (2002, written and directed by Neil Marshall). Basically Aliens with werewolves. Stars Rome's Kevin McKidd. Tons of mildly cheesy fun.

The Descent (2006, also written and directed by Neil Marshall). A claustrophobic masterpiece about a group of women on a spelunking adventure gone horribly wrong.

Duck Soup is a master class in comedy. Anyone who doesn't remember it should watch it again.

Also, "Reservoir Dogs" over "Pulp Fiction". Don't get me wrong, I loved "Pulp", and it was FAR more influential, but when you get right down to it, the film is essentially nothing more than a fun slam-bang adventure in narrative that is more clever than fulfilling; a violent, bloody confection for grownups. "Dogs" weaves a similar twisty plot, but is also an involving and ultimately powerful piece about loyalty among thieves.

Anyone else remember right after the election when Coleman was calling for Franken to do the "honorable" thing and concede before all of the votes were counted? And now that they've been counted, apparently the "honorable" thing is a do-over?

There are truly no depths to which this loser will sink. That's right, loser. He LOST.

Admittedly, the chutzpah is truly stunning.

I thought it was by far the WORST Oscar ceremony I've ever seen (and I've been watching for over 20 years).

I agree with the earlier poster about the misguided camera work during the montage, and also feel Latifah should have sung less (I like when they actually play clips with audio during the tribute).

But I thought the most ironic moment was when -- not thirty seconds after shouting about the return of the musical, Jackman killed it with that atrocious number. I know, Baz Lurhman was the "mastermind" behind it, but when the lights came up -- Jackman was the one standing over the body with the metaphorical knife in his hand.

Sorry to nitpick.
