Still More What I am Watching (You think I get off the couch?)

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown: Leguizamo and Romano can make anything sound good. Starts slow, but pretty decent overall.
High Tension: Yes, I'd never seen it. Quite an exercise in style. An interesting point - I think horror fans particularly forgive the serious plot flaws of the movie, because its so stylish and the violence is so...violent. Its a fun exercise, and Alexandre, well, you see the chops that got him Hills Have Eyes, and entry into the Splat Pack. Got its limitations, but overall worth the ride.

Haute Tension glad you liked it - looks amazing and great stylish violence - but yeah the twist doesn’t hold up to much scrutiny but if you look at the opening scene, with Marie in the asylum then maybe the rest of the film is of her replaying the incidents in her own twisted mind, and is thus an unreliable narrator, in the same kind of way as The Cabinet of Dr Caligari is the recounted memories of a mad man and so can’t be trusted
