Horror Flicks: The Others (2001)

By Jason Haskins

I'm a sucker for ghost movies-but the good ones are hard to come by. The last really good ghost story movie was the Guillermo del Toro-produced The Orphanage from 2007, dammit. Thankfully I've gone back to my trusty old movie shelf and dug up a forgotten gem from 2001 (has it been that long already) called The Others starring Nicole Kidman, produced by then-hubby Tom Cruise, and directed by Open Your Eyes helmer (remade into Cruise's Vanilla Sky) Alejandro Amenábar. Whew--let's get started.

The Sea Inside (2004) Review

By Jason Haskins

The Sea Inside was released in 2004 and is based on the true story of Ramon Sampedro--a Spaniard who, after a serious lack of judgment, dove into the ocean in too shallow of water and found himself paralyzed. This movie chronicles his last moments throughout the almost 30 years he fought to have assisted suicide implemented into his case and you'll watch as he finds himself completely loathsome of his situation, trying to get assistance in death, and feeling disconnected from the material world.
