Sinister: A pretty creepy horror film that provides a mix of standard horror tropes (in such a blatant manner that if you've seen enough horror films, you can predict a good half-dozen of the "scares") with some genuinely well-presented scenes. At least one of the standard cliche horror-movie roles is nicely turned on its head, and when the script reveals the truth of what the protagonist is facing, it is done in a pretty clever manner. Unfortunately, that reveal also telegraphs the ending, but it comes only a few minutes before the end, and the end is good enough that I don't think it's entirely ruined. The lame and gratuitous attempt at a cheap scare at the very end is so disappointing that I'm doing you a favor by warning you that it's coming. Recommended because the story and the character portrayals are much more solid that you usually get with this kind of film.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
