Summary: Hello and welcome to episode 122! This week we discuss the psychological thriller 'Identity' (is it horror? .. we think so!) and 1988's 'The Blob'. We also have more to say about last week's 'A Haunting in Salem', and respond to several other reviews of this movie. Short topics this week include the independent film 'Albert Nobbs', the outstanding performances of Glenn Close, PS2's Silent Hill 2, and diatomaceous earth. We also have a short discussion on our movie rating system and whether or not we should do away with it. Lori thinks we should, but Madsaxxon says no. Whatever. .... anyway.... thanks for joining us this week; we're happy to have you! Also, a big welcome to our new listeners in England, Australia, and the Philippines! :) Identity (2003) R 90 minutes Complete strangers stranded at a remote desert motel during a raging storm soon find themselves the target of a deranged murderer. As their numbers thin out, the travelers begin to turn on each other, as each tries to figure out who the killer is. John Cusack, Jake Busey, Rebecca De Mornay, Clea DuVall and Ray Liotta co-star in this spine-tingling thriller that culminates in a surprising twist for everyone concerned -- including the murderer. The Blob (1988) R 95 minutes In this remake of the 1958 horror classic, a gelatinous mass invades Earth and starts devouring people in the rural California town of Arborville. As it feasts, the blob grows bigger and bigger -- and threatens to spin out of control. Leading the charge to contain the oozing killer is young Brian (Kevin Dillon), who seeks to impress the lovely Meg (Shawnee Smith). Meanwhile, a government crew arrives on the scene, but its intentions are unclear. 'Identity' trailer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8fjyxM7DgU 'The Blob' trailer...
