Most of what I've watched over the past 2 (?) weeks:
Dawn of the Dead Director's Cut (1978, Romero):
Some explanation as to my rating: A horror film should first and foremost scare you. If it doesn't, it's got a pretty big problem. I didn't think Dawn of the Dead was scary at all. I didn't care for the characters, so it left me completely cold whether they'd eventually be infected. I found it to be too slow of pace and the social commentary injected felt pretty forced. All in all, this was a big dissapointment.
The Black Stallion (1979, Ballard):
The Fox & The Hound (1981, Berman, Rich, Stevens):
Germinal (1993, Berri): +
Carrie (1976, De Palma):
Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011, Ficarra & Requa): +
Night Moves (1975, Penn):
