Seven Pounds - 9/10. Great movie, worth the watch.

Appaloosa - 8.5/10. Got into it and was better than I expected.

Role Models. 8.5/10. Glad I bought it, funny as hell.

My Bloody Valentine. 5.5/10. Was okay, typical horror movie.

Forgot to put in Terminator Salvation - 7.5/10
As stated before by someone, turn your brain off and watch it. It's definitely fun and 10X better than T3.

Drag Me To Hell - 7/10

Not a fan of horror movies. Not because I get scared or anything, they're just never good. Very few I have ever liked (Dawn of the Dead, Saw I, Psycho). But I like what Sam Raimi does with his horror films (such as Evil Dead). It's enjoyable, yet predictable. Laughable, yet creative. A hate it or love it for most I'm sure, but I found myself in the middle ground leaning towards the positive.

"Drag Me Back To Hell" - Buckeye nailed the summation of this movie so I'll just add that if you're trying to be a horror flick don't try to be funny at times cause it comes off like satire of a flick like "Scary Movie" .

Defiance - 10/10. A great movie, loved every second of it. Just see it, buy it. Great.

The Hangover - that is the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. It's hilarious from beginning to end. 9.5/10

It is Sam Raimi though. You had to know he was gonna throw in funny stuff (even if unintentionally) into a scary flick. Evil Dead was his scariest/least funny flick--starting with ED2 and on into Army of Darkness though--things were still scary, but funny. I attribute part of that to Bruce Campbell (greatness personified), but still--a Raimi scary flick's gonna have some laughable moments.

You're right about Raimi but I personally like to be scared or on the edge of my seat w/ nervous anticipation for a "horror" pic . I like it when you're heartrate is up the whole movie and when it's over you feel like you've run a marathon like say "The Exorcist" . I was like 13 when I saw that and I was SCARED , even w/ a swiveling head and explosive vomiting , there was no giggling .

Agreed. Even the build-up of tension in a slower paced horror movie (see Rosemary's Baby for instance--which is a top 5 horror flick for me) is really great compared to other movies with a giggle here or there. Or stuff like The Omen where you're constantly thinking that the protagonists are up the creek w/o a paddle from the word go. But--with Raimi, that's just his thing, with the comedic breaks to pull your guard down, then hit you in the face with a crazy monster from around the corner. It's to be expected.
