Heavenly Creatures (1994, R)
|
|
|
| 3 |
The Beach (2000, R)
The changes from the book are childish, embarrassing, and completely unnecessary, stripping the story almost entirely of its soul. |

Cloverfield (2008, PG-13)
The realism is the most terrifying aspect. This film proves that, in certain instances, PG-13-rated horror can still be effective. |

The Kite Runner (2008, PG-13)
Haunting; brilliant. I'll keep this one with me. (Major props to Forster for shooting this in the native languages. Newell didn't have the balls to do that for the disaster known as Love in the Time of Cholera. :P) |
