    Sam J. Miller’s 25-Word Reviews #2

    Paranormal Activity (movie, dir. Oren Peli, 2009) Above-average scary. Neat pacing. Best with a full house in big cities. Overheard: “This is dumb good,” “We’re gonna have to get the bootleg.” The September Issue (movie, dir. R.J. Cutler, 2009)

    Sam J. Miller’s 25-Word Movie Reviews #1

    Let the Right One In (the movie) (Tomas Alfredson, 2008) Somehow makes vampires feel fresh. Fascinating aesthetic: colorless cinematography, minimal dialogue, affectless acting. Touching, scary, tender. An astonishing little girl. Also? Swedes are freaky-looking.
