Friday

the greatest horror film of modern cinema



The first version of the Phantom I saw was the 1925 silent version starring Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin. And it's the best, hands down. In middle school it inspired a movie I made with my friends, which we called the Lukewarm, about Judas Iscariot. It was pretty good, considering our age, and I would gladly share, if the computer hadn't crashed just days after the movie was completed. I guess it couldn't handle it. 

I promise better posts after I recover from pneumonia. Which I am blaming on my flu shot. Someday I will be a conspiracy theorist old woman, ravaged by disease, who sits in my armchair, all my cash stuffed in the refrigerator, which is empty anyway because how can it be trusted.

the daughter of these hills

Um, why had I not seen this movie? I watched the Oscars, I saw Daniel Day Lewis and his earring receive the award for Best Actor... so why had I not seen this movie until last night? I don't know. But I do know that this is the best movie I have seen in a while. It was a real psychological thriller. At least I thought it was intense. And those prolonged minutes of silence at the beginning, followed by the continuous play of some craziness music? Genius.
