I liked them a lot. I've now seen three movies telling the same story
and enjoyed them all. My main problem is the low end CGI death Gods.
It gets *really* complicated towards the end, adopting a HU$TLE
denouement where they show you everything that happened while explaining
it didn't really happen that way at all.

Go to The Amazon and look up Death Note. They have all kinds of Death
Notebooks ostensively for Cosplay (do we really want these people
cosplaying?) including little lockets with a scrap of Death Note paper
in them so you can write down your friends names and kill them at
recess, which a friend of mine points out would get you expelled from
school in America.

Hopefully soon. It's goodlooking, like an actual movie, and not the
1980s British TV show the 2006 movies look like. :D

I have both Salem's Lots on my cloud. IIRC the remake was pretty
annoying. I like the original, except for the casting of the vampire
and his major domo; they should have kept closer to the source and
reversed those actors. James Mason as the king vampire! How awesome
sauce drenched would *that* be? Also they really shouldn't have exactly
copied the makeup job from Nosferatu ...
Which Poltergeist is it where they spend an entire reel with no other
dialog than the various characters taking turns yelling CAROL ANN!?!?!?
