  1. Slither is a great little horror-comedy. That James Gunn fellow seems like a capable writer/director. Hope he makes something of himself.

    I heard good things about Colossal, so I might grab that one.

    • Slither was good, and any fans of horror movies should check it out if they enjoyed GotG. It would make a fun science fiction double feature with Cabin in the Woods.

      • I’m stealing that idea and suggesting it at the local Alamo Drafthouse. That double-feature would rock. Add Shaun of the Dead plus Tucker & Dale vs Evil and it’s a horror-comedy marathon.

  2. Wow, there’s like nothing in here.

    I’m going back to last week.

    …actually I watched King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. You know, so you guys don’t have to.
