Last night (11:15 PM), I watched Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 for the second time on STAR Movies.  I first saw this movie in August 2002.  I think this movie's far better than the first one - it's a more conventional horror movie than the first, and it is more scary.  That too, yesterday I saw it with all the lights off (best way to see a horror movie on TV), and I had also read director Joe Berlinger's interpretation of the movie on JoBlo.com.  So the movie was even better this time!

The Blair Witch Project was an unusual, experimental movie, for which I do appreciate the filmmakers.  But when I saw it on TV I was, most of the time, waiting for something scary to happen and it didn't.  And the continuous talking of the characters got on my nerves a bit.  Anyway, the underlying theme behind the second movie is mass hysteria and group delusions (that's basically what's happening to all the characters).  A group of Blair Witch fans go out in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland on a "witch hunt" and all kinds of weird things start to happen.  I thought the movie was well made and I liked the unusual approach to the story, and also the "video never lies, film does" thing.

Off-topic again, I updated the Daniel Movies page with a couple of video clips.  I've told Daniel that I'll keep 5 videos on the page, older ones will be replaced by newer ones.  Anyone who wants to see a particular video can always email him.
