I understand the criticism of Ed and Lorraine Warren but I still think the first two Conjuring movies are great horror films.

I completely understand why people don’t like Ed and Lorraine Warren and I’m not here to defend them or their real-life claims.

But if I look at The Conjuring movies purely as horror films, especially the first two, I genuinely think they’re really good.

They’re creepy, entertaining, well-made and have some genuinely scary moments. I actually rewatch the first two at least once every year and I still enjoy them just as much.

I also think Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are fantastic in these movies. Their chemistry is great and I genuinely enjoy watching them play Ed and Lorraine, regardless of what I think about the real people.

I’ve seen people on here say they could easily live without The Conjuring franchise and that’s fair. Everyone has different tastes. But as someone who genuinely loves the horror genre and watches a lot of horror movies, I feel like finding a really good, entertaining horror movie isn’t always easy.

I know the franchise has its flaws, especially the later movies but I still have a soft spot for it.

I also genuinely enjoy the Annabelle movies, especially Annabelle: Creation. I know these movies aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I find them entertaining and rewatchable.

Anyone else feel the same way? I feel like the first two movies deserve some appreciation regardless of what people think about the real Warrens.

What is it that Sorkin lacks that Woody Allen and Kevin Smith possess, allowing them to become successful directors of their own writing?

One of the biggest criticisms leveled at Social Reckoning is Aaron Sorkin’s directing.

However, I don’t think Aaron Sorkin is a bad director.

I just think he had an impossible task when he was assigned to direct the sequel to a film directed by one of the greatest visual storyteller of our.

Imagine if Jurassic Park: The Lost World was directed by David Koepp. It just wouldn’t be that good.

If you compare Rob Reiner’s “A Few Good Men” to Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago Seven,” you’ll notice that both movies were written by Sorkin, but Reiner directed “A Few Good Men” while Sorkin wrote and directed “The Trial of the Chicago Seven.” Surprisingly, neither movie is widely criticized, and the transition between the two movies is visually seamless because it’s clear that Rob Reiner was a skilled director of court dramas and didn’t do a lot of visual spectacle.
