 He's also scheduled to do a film version of one of my favorite books, which could be good or bad...my problem with him is that he's more interested in scenery than in dialogue, so while he has these really interesting set-ups the characters always deliver choppy dialogue.

Have you seen SHIVERS, or THE BROOD? [/b]

you should also see Dead Ringers. Jeremy Irons is fanastic as the twin gynecologists.

I've seen Dead Ringers, and I wasn't that impressed with it in the end.  Goes back to my choppy dialogue comment from before.

Scrooged.  It has a great black comedy streak going until the feelgood ending.
 
 Unbreakable.  Sorry, that ending is like "well we are out of budget so lets do some Animal House-like sum up".
 
 Vanilla Sky.  But I guess that was bad to worse.
