Evil Dead (2013) - Completely different film than the original. Same concept and potential for continuity chronologically for story telling purposes, but not any kind of "-make" or "re-imagining". I could take this movie at face value and not need to compare, basically, but I did like that there was some sort of continuity from the original. The movie was cruising really well for a while...
THEN
They had that David character bury his sister so that she can come back to life which extended the movie an extra 15 minutes and in that 15 minutes
they basically fucked up what was otherwise, a really good interpretation that could stand on its own for that extra umph at the end of the movie.
Also, the kicker for the after credits scene...Mick Foley thought that was a cheap pop.
Jurassic Park 3D - This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Loved it then, and it still holds a ton of nostalgic value for me now. Tons of fun one liners. The film surprisingly holds up very well despite the Oregon Trail oriented computers and catching on that Jon Hammond says "...spared no expense" 14 times in the film. The Dinosaurs and environment of Jurassic Park looks infinitely better still today than most of the stuff they put out in 2013...I dunno if that is a testament to the film or the shame of today's films.
There were some scenes that were incredibly awesome to see in 3D...but there were tons of them that didn't come out well for me...pretty blurry. Also, anything other than eyes directly on the screen, facing forward and the picture distorted for me. I've not had that issue with films made for 3D...haven't really seen a post-production 3D conversion of a film other than JP...so maybe that's just one of the quirks that come with the conversion over making the film for 3D.
Overall, Jurassic Park is always must-watch...but I feel it was probably a bit unnecessary to watch it in 3D.
Masterpiece. Very different from his other work, surprised to see how haunting it was at times. Wrote it after having a conversation with Gandhi who complained about certain aspects of machinery. Really worth watching
watched wreck it ralph last night. i would give it 8/10 - i was surrised at how good of a story it had. i didnt know it was based on video games and arcades which was a huge bonus.
just to give an idea of how much i enjoyed this movie, my kids fell asleep about 45 mins in and i kept watching till the end

Been telling myself for years I'm going to run through Chaplin's filmography. I've never seen any of his films in their entirety. Thanx.
Btw, one of my fave silent films is made by CC's rival, Buster Keaton - The General. Brilliant stuff. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
