I caught Get Out this afternoon. It's pretty damn good. Just the right mix of comedy and suspense. Equal parts Tyler Perry and Alfred Hitchcock. Smart story that is a nice departure, for me anyway, from all the rehashed crap coming out of Hollywood. [Reply]

I had low expectations but it ended up blowing me away.
It did sort of remind me of the Skeleton Key. [Reply]

Yep. When I read comedy/horror in some of the reviews, I thought I'd hate it, but it was really well done. I think they could've dialed up the tension a little bit more, but overall, I really enjoyed it. [Reply]

I watched the trailer for this movie after reading your post because I love Alfred Hitchcock and the mix with comedy sounded interesting. At first, I thought this looks really good. Then I decided it looked too scary for me, lol. Looks good if you like horror, but it kind of freaked me out. [Reply]

I feel pretty confident in saying you won't find it particularly terrifying.
It was really more suspenseful and creepy before becoming thrilling by by the final act. [Reply]
I haven't seen it yet...but it's on my todo list....I found out this weekend that Jordan Peele wrote and directed Get Out...he of Key and Peele....
I did not know that! interesting.... [Reply]
Watched Passengers last night. I thought it was a very good movie. Great acting, lots of suspense, good story. Saw some bad reviews, but watched it anyway. Glad I did!! [Reply]
Trainspotting 2 opens up nationwide this weekend. Just found out the only theater in Dallas showing it is just down the street from my office. I can't wait to go right after I get off work on Friday! [Reply]
