Shrine of the Morning Mist (Asagiri No Miko) Vol. 1 - More anime, I caught episodes 8 and 9 on OnDemand and wanted to see more. I'm not sure if I'll get volumes 2 and 3, at this point. I dropped them about 10 places on my Queue to think about it.

Munich - I was not terribly impressed by this movie. Given the subject matter and the number of things that blow up, I was very much looking forward to it. I expect that Spielberg had something to say with this movie, actually I think that's what the 3 minute intro was for, but it got missed in the storytelling somewhere. I also think the cinematography could have been handled better ... the shots were too tight, almost claustrophobic, and didn't really do much as far as conveying the mood. It was filmed like it was intended to be seen on TV, if you know what I mean.

Van Helsing - Why, oh why did I not go see this in a theater? This is a cool movie.
