Crimson Peak
Directed By: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam, and Jim Beaver
I've been highly critical of the horror genre since I began STMR (and long before that as well).

Only Lovers Left Alive
Directed By: Jim Jarmusch
Starring: Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, Mia Wasikowska, Anton Yelchin, John Hurt, and Jeffrey Wright

I'm happy when a movie is not what I envisioned and is something different (better) altogether. One thing I've noticed is that this happens far more often in independent cinema than mainstream.

"Sometimes, it's tough to judge when you're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea." -Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz)

Directed By: Steven Spielberg

When I first about Steven Spielberg'sWar Horse, I thought I was going to be in for a bunch of sentimental crap. Come on. It's a movie about a horse.
