Posted: 3/5/05 at 6:29pmThis brilliant movie is on TV right now, so I was wondering if anybody has seen it and has comments to share. It really creeped me out when I first saw it, and I feel that it is one of-if not the-best horror film in the past five years.

Posted: 3/5/05 at 6:43pmAMAZING movie!! And i'm not saying that just because i'm Jeremy Sumpters #1 fan...this mobvie SCREWS with your head and I love that! Bill Paxton is...well, not the BEST actor, but whatever, this is such a creepy movie, and Matthew Mconneghy (sp?) is very easy to look at! Mmmm!@

Posted: 3/5/05 at 6:45pmi loved this movie. if you haven't seen it, mef, and you enjoyed this, you might want to see night of the hunter with robert mitchum directed by charles laughton (his only directing effort). paxton said that film informed a lot of the decision he made on frailty.

Posted: 3/5/05 at 6:48pmExcellent example of terrific tension achieved by suggestion on a miniscule budget.

Posted: 3/5/05 at 6:54pmI didn't like it till the end. It had some good twists. Other than that< i found it disturbing and questioning why I had spent money to see this.
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Posted: 3/5/05 at 9:23pmI love this movie. Stylish, emotional, thought-provoking, and very creepy. I thought that Matt O'Leary was terrific in it. Those twists just kept on coming.

Great film. In fact, my alltime favorite quote from a review came from Time Out New York about this film. They said -
"Frailty is a ham-fisted, ideologically repugnant waste of celluloid"
"Noah, someday we'll talk again. But there's things we'll never say. That sorrow deep inside you. It inside me, too. And it never go away. You be okay. You'll learn how to lose things..."

Posted: 3/5/05 at 9:36pmReally? I remember "Frailty" getting great reviews. Roger Ebert put it on his end of the year Top Ten list.

Posted: 3/5/05 at 9:37pmIt did get some great reviews. Time Out despised it though. And that review really made me laugh. I still have it somewhere.

Posted: 3/5/05 at 9:39pmI am going to use "ham-fisted, ideologically repugnant waste of celluloid" in a sentence some time this week. That's awesome.

Posted: 3/5/05 at 9:39pmTiff, isn't that great?! I use it all the time. I SHOULD start using it in theatre reviews.

Dot is not retarded!!!
She's special. And she loves gloves and gum.

Posted: 3/6/05 at 12:35amAnna Nicole Smith is also "special". She arrived in Australia this week to present at the MTV Awards and the first words out of her mouth were "So where are the damn f***ing kangaroos?"
