    If you have Criterion and haven't seen WHAT LIES BENEATH yet, give it a whirl. Genuinely scary movie about a woman who sacrificed everything to save her marriage and a man who will sacrifice that marriage to save his reputation. Zemeckis's last great movie, if you ask me.

    this was a blast, with loads of people who’d never seen the film before. If time can redeem Death Becomes Her, What Lies Beneath deserves better than a 3.2 on Letterboxd. And my goodness, that Michelle Pfeiffer performance. God-tier.

    My work inspired a trashy B horror movie called The Pyramid. The lead is very clearly me (blond Egyptologist who uses satellites to map sites). Sadly I could not sue them for $ as it made nothing. Trailer is below. Show is based on BBC What Lies Beneath. Watch and enjoy the trailer. My crazy life.

    One of my fave things about What Lies Beneath is that Robert Zemeckis was all, "Okay, we shot the 1st half of Cast Away, but we need to kill time so that Hanks can get some real castaway hair going. So, what do I do? !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW! I CAN MAKE ANOTHER ENTIRE MOVIE IN THE MEANTIME!" *Legend.*

    Was invited to an early screening of 'Verity' last night. Enjoyed the movie. If you like 'What Lies Beneath' and thought "but what if it was more horny and nobody was likable?" you'd enjoy this too.

    What Lies Beneath was probably the film that scared me the most. Scary films don't tend to bother me after they're finished, but I remember driving home after and being afraid each time I checked the rearview mirror. Only time that ever happened to me.

    The Law of Economy of Character Development requires Harrison Ford be other than he seems. I must confess the simple reason I have watched What Lies Beneath more than 30 times. I absolutely love Michelle Pfeiffer. She appears in about 95% of the movie.
