I watched The Unborn this afternoon. I don't know, there were some freaky scenes like the dog with its head turned upside-down and the Auschwitz scenes with the kids (I always thought kids in horror movies creepy) but plot-wise, I don't think there was anything spectacular or new. And I didn't find the lead actress' acting too convincing either.

Det sjunde inseglet
The Seventh Seal (1957, Directed by Ingmar Bergman)
A Knight and his squire are home from the crusades. Black Death is sweeping their country. As they approach home, Death appears to the knight and tells him it is his time. The knight challenges Death to a chess game for his life. The Knight and Death play as the cultural turmoil envelopes the people around them as they try, in different ways, to deal with the upheaval the plague has caused. IMDB

I could never forget that scene with the collection of heads and Nurse Wilson reminds me of Lemora from Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural.

Yeah.. haha... I thought it a bit weird that Dorothy got younger though >_>
And for the last movie I watched...
...Hannah Montana: The Movie...
...Don't judge me!!! (Seriously though, my cousin's in town and I was left with the job of entertaining her and guess what she wanted to do... -_- )

I think RETURN is supposed to be a seperate story from the MGM film with Judy Garland. Perhaps a remake of one of the OZ stories.
In the commentary they say they weren't trying to make a sequel, just a different story altogether, like BATMAN BEGINS.
Anyway, I just finished watching "BEHIND THE MASK: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon".

Yeah, Return To Oz was the second book in the series and had to be a departure from the Judy Garland film since a) Dorothy was supposed to be a small child and b) in the end of the book Wizard Of Oz it isn't a dream at all. I wish they'd make movies for the entire series, at least do the Emerald City Of Oz.
I just finished watching For A Few Dollars More.

Well hot damn, I think I'll have to read the books. I had no idea it was even a series, and it not being a dream is way more BAMFtastic.
And yeah I think I'll get her to watch it next time.
Yeah the Batman Begins analogy helps it make a bit more sense, thanks for the info!

Yup, the book series is by L Frank Baum, and most of the books are still in print but I'm not sure about The Return To Oz, I can't find it anywhere. There were also several Wizard of Oz movies before the Judy Garland film, I got them on my Wizard Of Oz special edition box set ^_^ I think they were all silent.
That said I also never saw the Return To Oz movie, I keep meaning to look for it and forget it as soon as I go into the local HMV.

Yes! Finally! I was beginning to think everyone in the world disliked the film (IMDB seems to prove that)...
It really is one of my favorite favorite films.
RIGHT THIS SECOND I am watching "Man With Two Brains" with Steve Martin.

It's just rated badly on there because it's a cult classic.

I finished Victor/Victoria, a pretty awesome Julie Andrews movie.

Rozz, you sound like you're in the throws of "Just Seen This Film For The First Time" syndrome.

No, I've seen it plenty of times before. I'm just film-obsessed. Anyone who knows me knows I base my life around film. I just get worked up when I really like a film.

Don't ask me why I spelled that "throws" instead of "throes".

RozzVanian -
If you've never seen "Mirror Mask" check it out. It was done after Henson's death and is an amazing movie.
Also the director of Donnie Darko went to my highschool and everything else he's made sucks absolute ass, especially Southland Tales, never waste your brain on it. 1 hit wonder Director I'd say, Donnie Darko is pretty rockin'. But it's definitely not the best movie since 2000...
At least in my opinion and I'll even name some that I enjoy more.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Brick
Children of Men
Spirited Away
Persepolis
Mirror Mask
Happiness of the Katakuris
Lost in Translation
Pan’s Labyrinth

I've been told I'd love Mirrormask, and I've been dying to see it. I will Netflix it now.

I finally got to watch "Let the Right One In". I was intrigued the first time I read about it in the boards and wasn't disappointed.
