    CineJourneys – Episode 15 – Variety’s Top 100 Horror List
    Oct 21 2024
    Description: Jill and Aaron review the Variety 100 Best Horror films, film by film. Somehow Jill was possessed and we aren't sure why, but good news, she's fine now. Overall we thought this list was okay. We have some quibbles and there were a couple of films we thought were too high, some too low. There were a couple that we thought were egregiously low, but that's bound to be the case with most subjective lists.

  • CineJourneys – Classic Suspense Journey – Buckle Up

    CineJourneys – Classic Suspense Journey – Buckle Up
    Sep 13 2024
    Description: The second chapter of our Classic Suspense Journey is called "Buckle Up." We watched Henri-Georges Clouzot's The Wages of Fear (1953), which is widely considered to be among the best suspense films of all time. We followed it with William Friedkin's Sorcerer (1977), which had some distribution challenges (mostly due to being released close to the time frame of Star Wars), but it is still considered one of the best classic remakes of all time. We feel it is more of a re-imagining. The films work differently, and reflect differences in filmmaking from their time frame and changes in global politics. During this call, we dive deep and have a constructive discussion about both films. Ultimately it was an experiment to watch them closely together, and while the films were appreciated, the results depended on the individuals.
