That'sbecause many modern films are crap.
Especially those "found footage" garbage, and shite remakes of really good films.

"Carrie" is a good example of the latter category.
Almost scene-by-scene remake, admittedly with better effects (strings were clearly visible on 'flying knives' in the original).
But they changed the final part - and took out the bit that actually made the film worth seeing!

Good idea this.

Saw 'Youth' earlier in the week.

I thought it was a really engaging film, great photography and very quirky - light and shade.

The hardcore cinemarati reviwers generally seemed to describe it as beautiful but flawed, but then again they seem to be judging it as an attempt at a modern day Fellini .
If you dont worry about making such comparisons, its definitely worth a watch.
Caine is as unlike Caine as I've ever seen him.

I watched the witch a few weeks ago, absolutely loved it. I'm quite a fan of horror films and this is the best one I've seen for ages. It's not horror by numbers at all.

Looks like a good call. The witch has got very good reviews.
