From worst to best are the 1978 version starring Micheal Powell getting a 4/10. This is upposed to be closest to the book but is just too unbelievable especially at the end with Powell hanging form the clock's hands. Next is the 1959 version starring Kenneth More which is average at best, 6/10. Thw BBC version is not bad getting q 7/10 but the best, not surprisingly is the Hitchcock version, 8/10. It proves how good he was. Out of the 4 using the same or very simialr stories his was the best by quite a bit</div>sfdavidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792716083153401030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411706258911519392.post-6543033985728617462009-10-30T00:47:00.000-07:002009-10-30T00:47:48.764-07:00spadix - Definition of spadix at YourDictionary.com<a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/spadix">spadix - Definition of spadix at YourDictionary.com</a>sfdavidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792716083153401030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411706258911519392.post-37457703739002644342009-10-25T19:04:00.000-07:002009-10-25T19:04:20.877-07:00apotheosis - Definition of apotheosis at YourDictionary.com<a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/apotheosis#">apotheosis - Definition of apotheosis at YourDictionary.com</a>sfdavidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792716083153401030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411706258911519392.post-66069623563788582342008-07-29T23:52:00.000-07:002008-07-29T23:53:17.756-07:00My review of Shutter (Thai version)One of the scariest and creepiest film I have ever seen. This is the version to see not the crappy American remake which proves again when American filmmakers try to remake a asian horror film they always fail. This is the story of a ghost haunting her ex boyfriend Tun and his friends. Some of the most frightening scenes I have seen in a film in a long while. The scene on the ladder when Natre is climbing down the ladder head first after Tun is great. The ending while I do not want to give away too much is chilling. This is the first film in a while that left goose bumps and had the hair standing up on my arms. Definitely recommended to anyone who likes creepy filmssfdavidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792716083153401030noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411706258911519392.post-64147677202697004902008-07-13T20:43:00.000-07:002008-07-13T20:59:12.162-07:00A Dirty Job by Christopher MooreCharlie Asher is a normal male living in San Francisco, what he calls a beta male. He owns a secondhand store that he inherited from his father and is married to Rachel.<br /> When Rachel dies after giving birth to his daughter Sophie, Charlie sees a site he is not supposed to see one of death's assistants. No mortal human is supposed to see this. After this people die when he is around them and he starts seeing names and dates on his notepad near his bed. These are people who will be dying soon and he will have to retrieve thier souls, he is chosen to be one of death's assitants, he calls himself a death merchant. Charlie goes through much to protect his daughter including being seduced by "birdlike"thing that nearly pokes her talons through his ear into his brain. With hounds from Hell, shadows of ravens, wacky characters like Lily, a goth high school student who is always playing hooky from school and has a truant officer on her trail, who works for Charlie, Ray another employee who searches the internet for filipino mail order brides and thinks Charlie is a serial killer because things turn up in the store from recently deceased people, his sister Jane a lesbian who wears mens suits and Mrs. Ling and Mrs. Korjev neighbors and Sophies baby sitters. Mrs Ling thinks a shiksa is a shih tzu and Mrs Korjev thinks everything is a bear.<br /> Christopher Moore has put together a likable and at numerous time a laugh out loud funny story.
