terminator salvation..nice movie 9,5/10
The Exorcist .It was on TV and I hadn't seen it for a while.
I had forgotten how effectively William Friedkin built things up. Beginning with an initial presentation of the mundane and then slowly allowing the undercurrents of evil to seep in.
In horror movies patience is always a virtue.Too much too quick and no matter what you throw in everything after is just a plateau with no place else to go.
Also the lack of music instead of being a negative actually made everything seem more real and only added to the dread ( no Pavlovian tricks needed here) .
Not a perfect movie but still worth a 10/10 as it stands imo as the greatest horror movie ever ( although The Shining and Ju-on both run it close). and I was pretty much forced to rate it better than Terminator Salvation
Going to download and watch A Man for All Seasons today.Definitely the best movie not on iMDBs top 100 and the one that perhaps had the greatest impact on my life.( To understand the title is to know why).

What a coincidence.
Last weekend I double featured A Man For All Seasons and The Lion In Winter.
AMFAS is the better film but the chemistry (and repartee) between O'Toole and Hepburn is absolutely amazing.
"I am the one who knocks."- Heisenberg
That is a coincidence and also strange that we both think that A Man For All Seasons is the better film of the two as most people think the opposite.
I don't really have a clear perspective on which is of greater merit as a work of movie art because viewing the movie and appreciating the underlining theme of AMFAS ( that you don't only choose to the right thing when it is easy to do so- a man for all seasons get it? )in part helped shaped the way that I try to live my life.
That and ( really obscure cross- referencing pop culture humour ) I like Al Stewart.
