El orfanato (2007)
Surprisingly good
Having read the plot of this movie i wasn't expecting a whole lot. Family moves in to big scary house and strange and terrifying things begin to happen. The fact is that it's been done and I haven't been especially impressed since The Shining. However, the movie propelled itself passed my expectations. It wasn't so much that it was particularly frightening in the traditional sense, granted it had its moments, but the thing that got me was the use of innocent things like a child's imaginary friends or games that became corrupt and sinister. The best part of this movie may have been the ending, for me it was truly unexpected.
Overall a very well done, traditional, horror film in a time when I see very few.
Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005)
A little less than compelling
This was not a bad documentary by any means. Excellent points about subversive business practices were brought up and explored. The problem I had, of which others seem to agree, is that it focused so much on walmart and walmart only. True they are a little more well known than most for these sorts of subversive business practices as I have said, but they are clearly not the only company doing them. This makes the film come off as a little overly bias and, in my opinion, takes away from its credibility. Perhaps the documentary would've been better off not focusing so much on walmart and looking at the bigger picture. At times it simply seems like they're grasping at straws.
Overall, however, a solid documentary worth your time if not your money.
