The Last Movie You Watched

Exorcist II: The Heretic

This is actually a metaphysical movie rather than horror, like its predecessor.

It has an interesting idea, which is examining exorcism with science; thus, this investigates God with science. This is why it should have been titled Exorcist II: The Scientist. And indeed, if exorcism is something real, then it should be investigated by science.

But since these are all unscientific things, the movie quickly falls apart and rather becomes trapped inside itself as it wants to exist no matter what.

So it gets metaphorical and dives into symbolism, religion, art, and science. Richard Burton, who plays a Catholic priest, stumbles on James Earl Jones, who is a shaman dressed as a locust, sitting in some rustic African village, only to suddenly turn into a scientist in a laboratory examining locusts. Needless to say, it gets very confusing, and I felt like my head started spinning—as if I were being the one that was possessed.

I completely agree - Exorcist II was a train wreck. But, as is typical with a lot of movies franchises, Exorcist III was significantly better.

I want to watch The Addiction (1995). I heard that it's good and has Christopher Walkens playing a vampire.

47 Ronin (2013)

As a fantasy epic, it sucks. As a depiction of the Ako incident, it sucks. Writing sucks, direction sucks, special effects suck, and Keanu Reeves acting (as always) sucks.

Ladies First

Classic role reversal.

Swimming to Cambodia (1987)

Ok, this is a cult movie made entirely of a monologue by an actor sitting in an apartment in NYC and directed by Jonathan Demme. But what kept bothering me, or should I say mystifying me, is that you can hear almost the same sound that aliens used in the movie "Contact" made ten years later. Why? What is that sound? Why did they use the same sound?

Demme said the electronic noise was used to created tension. Since both films used synthesizers to create the effects, some similarity seems unavoidable.
