I though ATL would be a heavy drama, a la Boyz in the Hood, because the cover montage featured a couple of very srs-looking guys. But it turned out to be a John Hughes-like coming-of-age-type story--kind of cute and funny, with just a little seriousness thrown in.
Dead Silence was one of the best horror flicks I've seen in a long time. Not super scary like The Shining, but lots of excellent creepy visuals, good plot, and not overly-bloody. I liked the alternate beginning and ending better.
