There is something fun and sinister about a well done lovecraftian style story. If you don't mind that sort of thing I HIGHLY recommend "The Void" during your halloween times. It is very lovecraftian and works on a lot of levels. To me "Event Horizon" also has that feel. As long as the stories play up the creep factor over the sheer gore of it all I think there are some cool ideas here.

H.P. Lovecraft was known for his fantastical novels, whose influence has bled into the cultural perception of horror, making them perfect for modern movie adaptations. Lovecraft is undoubtedly a flawed and prejudiced figure in literature, and any undertaking to adapt his stories should acknowledge the issues of racism, xenophobia, and homophobia in his work. Bringing Lovecraft into the modern era means doing his work justice, as well as exploring how they can be made more reflective of the present day.

This is the movie I probably would have seen this weekend if they hadn't shut down all of the Alamo Drafthouse theaters in my city. Was it a good time?

I would love to see a well made watchmen project. I have been working through the graphic novels and am really impressed with the writing and the art.

I really hope this is a good thing. I don't want to see theaters die, but I really hope Sony doesn't interfere with the things that make Alamo Drafthouse great... I really hope they can rectify the closure of all the DFW locations as well.

We went to see The Holdovers in a limited screening this weekend and I have to say it was one of the best movies of its kind I have seen in many years. I found myself connecting deeply with he characters and was delighted that the audience was treated with respect throughout. Paul Giamatti's performance was excellent once again, and the film itself was a work of art from the solid humorous moments to the tear jerking bits. This film is well worth watching. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

I'll be watching my yearly staples but would love some new suggestions as well. We could all use a decent dark one as we exit this hellscape of a summer.

My yearly list:

• Hellraiser (1987)
• Psycho (1960)
• The Guest (2014)
• Rosemary's Baby (1968)
• Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
• Cabin in the Woods (2011)
• It follows (2014)

These are the ones I almost always see over the next two months and I sprinkle in a lot of others from brand new to very old ones. Let's hear yours! (And we can talk about them too!)

The Warner Bros. Discovery CEO also addressed the ongoing writers and actors strikes, and the Disney-Charter dispute: "It feels like this is a moment."

Interesting cast list!
