Argh, somebody explain to me how Children of Men was so awesome.

I watched it and watched it and still couldn't get the hoo-yah kick in the crotch that everybody is talking about. Cool enough plot, lousy dialog, not intuitive enough, extraneous special effects and gunplay (even for me).

...

John Carpenter's The Thing

Kurt Russell's outta control facial hair is stuck in Antarctica where it uncovers an alien vessel buried in the ice. Said alien inhabitants (super virus) infect the human researchers, turning them into homicidal supermutants. Humans burning blood to see if they're infected. Flamethrowers. Spiderheads. Dark. Tense. Awesome musical score. No CGI. Everybody dies ending.
