liked: the acting; the atmosphere; the final shootout is hilarious
disliked: the script is awkward at times; the effects are shit, but that's probably intentional

1980s 10 Ghostbusters 1984 Ivan Reitman LD 75 ***** not a great film, but one of the most enjoyable and rewatchable ones - and i can watch it for the Horror challenge and the Comedy challenge
1990s xx Sabotage 1994 Spike Jonze Criterion 100 D2a ***** getting lazy
2000s/2010s xx Camera 2000 David Cronenberg Criterion 248 extra *** supposedly some old boring guy talking says something meaningful and profound about life and death, blah blah blah
