I haven't seen the second Silent Hill movie, sounds like I should pass. I remember seeing Silent Hill in the theater back in the day. Damn freaky nurses!!! The nurses were PERFECT! They're such an iconic monster from the games. As for the second movie, dude. I have. SO MUCH. To say. Not until we get to 2012, but I think the drinking game potential alone might make it worthwhile IF you're not a hardcore superfan like me.
The Orphanage is amazing, but quite different from what I'd expected. I feel I should point out, however, that it wasn't actually directed by Guillermo del Toro, but by a protege of his named Juan Antonio Bayona. It's confusing, I know, because it says "Guillermo del Toro Presents" on all the posters, and he was an executive producer (which basically means he helped fund it), but yeah, the script and direction were somebody else.
I like "happy" endings too, most of the time. As long as it doesn't feel cheap, which let's be honest, can happen with "bad" endings too. I chose not to watch the alternate ending to 28 Days Later because the theatrical ending is pretty much perfect. I could've used another scene explaining how they got from Point A to Point B, but having them end up where they did seemed perfectly satisfactory to me.
