Elitist Bastards: You Will Meet A Tall Dark Souther

by

In this week’s Elitist Bastards Go To The Movies, Xpress film critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther discuss current releases Heartbreaker, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, Hereafter and Paranormal Activity 2. They also happily consider the merits of Synecdoche, New York (next week’s Asheville Film Society screening) and the silent-horror marathon of the “Old, Dark Cinema Lounge” series they’ll be screening over Halloween weekend. And to top it all off, they even have a few thoughts on upcoming releases Saw 3D, Buried, Catfish and Jack Goes Boating.http://www.mountainx.com/images/blogimages/markofthebastards-thumb.jpg

Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: In silent horror movies no one can hear you scream

by

The silent film is virtually—and in part because of its silence—a world of its own, but even in that world the silent horror picture is a little world unto itself. And it’s a corner of cinema that is less known than it should be—perhaps because it’s occasionally confusing owing to what has come to be classified—or mis-classified—as horror. With this in mind, this weekend—this very crowded Halloween weekend—there are eight silent classic horror films—four on Saturday and four on Sunday—playing free to the public in the Cinema Lounge at The Carolina. This may give viewers a better understanding of silent horror, if only on a small scale.
