Can somebody recommend a recent scary movie. Something that will make me feel even a little scared.

Fuck, it has the TDigs seal of approval? Now I simply have to see this.
As do I Murf, looks great.
I love the Blair Witch Project. Maybe it's a New England thing...growing up around the woods, that film fucking scarred me.
Any specific subgenre? Gorey slasher film, psychological horror, supernatural horror? What are some horror films that have scared you?

Damn that looks freaking awesome...anything to do with aliens and alien abductions....it freaks me the hell out, but I also eat it right up.

I saw a trailer for some movie called The Box today...I am intrigued. I think I may put on White Chicks in a bit...the Wayans always know how to make a brother laugh.

No, I hated Southland Tales. I liked Donnie Darko.
B) White Chicks?
One of my guilty pleasures...we all have them. Little Man was the tits as well...hmm, let me see if I can find Don't Be A Menace II South Central While Drinkin' Your Juice In The 'Hood.
Have you heard Marlon Waynes is going to star as Richard Pryor in his biopic? Apparently he blew away people at the casting call once Eddie Murphy quit the role. I can't wait to see it. Hopefully he does well enough to get an Oscar nod.

I don't think actors really "act" in biopics; they merely impersonate. So, good for him if he gets a nom, but, I personally don't think that says anything about his ability to act.
Has anyone seen the TV spots for this Amelia Earheart biopic? My god it looks awful, I literally burst into laughter every time it comes on TV as they spout the cheesiest most awful dialogue I've ever heard. Stuff along the lines of "Come back to me!" ,"Always!". Just...so....awful.

Here's part of my Paranormal Activity review. I'll post the rest tomorrow.
Synopsis: Micah and Katie are a young, attractive couple living in the suburbs of San Diego. In order to document a supernatural presence that has allegedly been haunting Katie intermittently since her childhood, Micah buys a movie camera. And, I think that's all I really need to tell you, as it should be obvious where this is headed.
Analysis: There is nothing worse in the world of cinema than a film that fails to live up to its potential. Although it could have been excellent, two problems (one major and one minor) make Paranormal Activity a merely decent horror film. Let's begin with the minor problem.
As anyone who has heard about this film undoubtedly knows, Paranormal Activity is a faux-cinéma vérité horror film like The Blair Witch Project. Unlike The Blair Witch Project, however, the acting in this film isn't particularly good. While the actor playing Micah (Micah Sloat) is solid, the actress playing Katie (Katie Featherston) isn't very convincing. But, although Featherston hams it up in all the scenes requiring her to be angry, scared, or both, I can't blame her completely for her lack of credibility. The filmmakers are also culpable, as they fail to show through simple makeup the toll anxiety, stress, and sleepless nights take on both Micah and Katie.
Unfortunately, this is the least of Paranormal Activity's problems.

When you got two Oscars, you can be as fugly as humanly possible. I'd get with Swank in a heartbeat.
