Never even heard of them before, but according to the film's IMDb trivia page, their script was rewritten until nothing of theirs remained. The studio was probably required to keep their names in the credits because of WGA rules. You'd be amazed at how many films weren't actually written by the screenwriter(s) credited.

That's truly heart breaking. They very well may have had a masterpiece of horror had they stuck with the Skip and Spectre script, as they were genuine professionals in the field.

Wild

Finally had a chance to see this just yesterday. It was really good and some of the movie filmed in Oregon.

I saw that one when it came out in theaters here a month or so back. I really liked it as well, especially since she hiked within reason and didn't end up starved to death in Alaska like Christopher McCandles.

In Time, Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, and the first two Star Trek movies. My best friend and I had a movie-watching marathon on the weekend.

Jupiter Ascending

Even though this is now viewed as one of 2015's biggest flops, this had a typical "normal-person-is-royalty" plot, cool visual effects, but not very good acting. As much as I'd like to see the Wachowskis make a comeback in the future, this was not it.

Gone Girl.

Not to give away any spoilers, but it's a movie about a missing wife, media judgement of guilt, madness, murder, and the secrets spouses should not keep from each other. Great movie.

I've just watched a mid 1980s film called Mask Of Murder, starring Christopher Lee and Valerie Perrine.

Dire stuff about a serial killer within the Police Department, nonsensical plot with no subtlety or tension, the culprit was fairly obvious from quite early on.

I got it as an official release on an old VHS tape, which cost me 20 pence from a charity shop, and have since read on IMDB that the film is very scarce (not entirely surprisingly), so it may be worth holding onto.

What's Up, Doc?

The accidental mix up of four identical bags in a hotel leads to a series of wacky situations. Genuinely funny!

Left Behind. I can safely say that it was the worst movie made in 2014 at least that I have seen.

I recently had seen this film and thought it was going to be good however, it turned out to be way too much of telegraphing. What is telegraphing? It's where the audience or viewer of the film is able to figure out either the entire plot or individua scenes before such things occur, meaning that the concept of suspense winds up getting lost. Also I felt the film had elements of other movies like Rosemary's Baby and Paranormal Activity.. Still that's my thoughts as, I'm welcome to learn what others might think..
