Big Day (2006)
Funny stuff...
This is a well-cast show with only the barest of plots...but it works. The writers have pulled out all the insanity cards and are having entirely too much fun with them. Every time one crisis is averted (or determined to not, really, be a crisis,) another one arises. And the actors seem to throw themselves with unmitigated glee into whatever situation the writers conjure up--from dealing with the obnoxious grandmother to taking down a dragon. It is, however, a warm-hearted show--even though they keep throwing roadblocks into the wedding day, you have no doubt that, in the end, the happy couple will be just that...the happy couple. (Of course, since we haven't gotten to the end of the day yet, I could be wrong...but I'm willing to bet, oh, a box of albino Monarch butterflies that it'll all come together.)
House on Haunted Hill (1999)
One of the most frightening movies I have seen...
Possibly THE most frightening movie I've seen. While the special effects were amazing and there was a lot of gore, what really drove the movie was the knowledge that something was going to go horribly wrong--but you never knew just when. All the buckets of blood in the world aren't as effective as that tension.
I did find the ending to be a bit of a letdown, but the film was an overall great ride.
