A Night At The Movies: Respire And The Rite
So, I watched a couple of good horror movies last night (what is the definition of "horror" anyway?) and now I shall review them for you.
RESPIRE
I started with Respire, a 2011 movie by an unknown (to me) director, featuring unknown (to me) actors. It's about a terminally ill woman who discovers, purely by accident, a way to prolong her life and destroy the disease destroying her. The problem is, there are two other people who want what she's got and only one of them is a good guy. IMDb has only given it a 4/10, but I think it's at least worth a 5 or 6, because it's actually a decent plot and the acting doesn't totally blow. The only bad thing about it is the very end...was a tad disappointed by that, but for the most part a pretty good movie.

THE RITE
With Anthony Hopkins you know it's going to be a great movie; and it is! I had wanted to see this for a while, and so, when I got the chance I was very happy about it, and happy that I did.
The movie is about Michael who is raised in a funeral home (his father is a mortician) and when he is old enough to go off to college he chooses a seminary because his father wouldn't help him with a "regular" school. He thinks he's going to get out of going all the way but his mentor tells him it ain't gonna happen. Sent off to Rome for two months to become an exorcist, the doubting Michael comes not to simply believe, but to know. Through the aid of Jesuit Father Lukas, Michael becomes the Exorcist.
