Just watched the original Wicker Man with the coven tonight. What a great and bizarre film.

I highly recommend Running Scared. Its violent and deals (tangentially) with some dicey subject matter so be warned.

But, you will not take your eyes off the screen for one minute.

Recently watched...

Hard Candy--Unusual take on a suspense/thriller, and not very predictable. Had kind of a Misery feel to it, but different premise.

Thank You For Smoking--Hilarious. It was odd seeing Katie Holmes again in a speaking role, though.

Apparently most of the US released copies are the overdub that flattens out the accents enough to kind of get what they're saying, at least that's what I understand from a friend who saw it in England.

I tried very, very hard last night to watch I (heart) Huckabees. I am not sure why I did this.

That's the first movie since Serenity that I saw twice in the theater.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

Another Korean film, by the same director who made Oldboy.

There's a lot of interesting things he does with the soundcape, and also with the cinematography. It's a multilayered film, but was much more straightforward than Oldboy, kind of like a revenge/caper-flick, only a lot quirkier.

Three Whale Penii out of a possible five, whereas Oldboy rates four.

Did they really pull that steamship up that mountain?

And that scene in Aguirre, the Wrath of God, where he blows away the natives during a conversion to christianity over a simple language misunderstanding, was a classic.
