If you want to have a spooky good time at the movies, I suggest you check out
The Crazies. What makes
The Crazies work so well is its realistic approach. There isn't over the top acting or any unnecessary plot twists or rampant monsters running around. It has a good, solid story at its core, plenty of gore and is a fun example of survival and the drastic means people will take to achieve that goal.
I finally saw
The Last Station this weekend, which means I can fully enjoy
The Oscars next weekend having seen every single nominated performance (and every picture minus
A Serious Man, which I have zero interest in).
The Last Station centers around the last year in Leo Tolstoy's life and the tumultuous, but loving relationships he shares with his family. I enjoyed this film quite a bit. It had a wonderful cast (Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer, Paul Giamatti, James McAvoy) and had great moments of humor to balance the dramatic tone.
