My wife and I just got finished watching Teeth. Decent enough of a horror film, but not particularly memorable.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I can't believe that I avoided seeing this thing for seven years. It was excellent.

Why is it that the filmmakers who rip off Philip K. Dick seem to understand him better than the ones who buy the rights to his stories? Eternal Sunshine, The Truman Show, Open Your Eyes (later remade as the awful Vanilla Sky), and Inception are much better Dick movies than Paycheck, Next, and The Adjustment Bureau.

It's good to know that the Eternal Sunshine director is filming Dick's Ubik soon, which may be my favorite novel from any writer.

Then again, he also made Be Kind Rewind and The Green Hornet. :eew:

Kaboom, which is easily the quirkiest film I've seen recently. Sexual ambivalence and frustration, psychedelic cookies, murderous kidnappers wearing animal masks, witches with psychic powers, Kelly Lynch, and a religious cult that has acquired nuclear weapons. No, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Definitely from the David Lynch/Donnie Darko process of filmmaking.

After.Life, and yes that annoying period is actually part of the title. But I liked this move. With Liam Neeson as a creepy funeral home director and Christina Ricci naked most of the time, what's not to enjoy? Unless you dislike stories that are suffocatingly dark and hopeless. Or if you demand that a story be resolved at the end of a movie. :P

Hi Jhomes, I hope you'll like it here. :)
I liked The Prestige and The Pursuit of Happiness a lot.

The last movie I saw was Conan The Barbarian. A bit too brutal for my taste... :?

My wife and I just watched a horror film called Pig Hunt, yesterday. Not enough of the monster boar, and too much of inbred hillbillys; and the hippie commune sacrificing humans to the giant pig just seemed tacked on.

I have seen Wild Style, and Blank City: No Wave. They are documentaries about graffiti art and punk rock, respectively.

I saw Final Destination 5 two weeks ago.
The story didn't do much for me but the gruesomeness did.

Saw the documentary Wasteland about a project by artist Victor Muniz.

It's worth watching, I think.

I watched Saw for the first time.
It is possibly the worst written and stupidest film I have ever seen in my life.

My wife and I, and a friend watched The Conspirator last night. It definitely was the kind of movie that makes you think. Regarding the time period, post Civil War, the lead character who had defended Mary Surat, was never really sure if his client was innocent of conspiring to assassinate President Lincoln, but he came to realize that she had the right to a civilian trial, rather than a kangaroo court before a military tribunal. The ramifications for the present day are obvious.
My verdict - a highly entertaining and intellectual film.

It's a lousy film for sure, but if it's the worst written and stupidest film you've ever seen, you've been sheltered from the real crap.

Saw "Secret Sunshine" yesterday. Very good, moving Korean film about a woman experiencing tragedy and trying to deal with the misguided help of others.
