I recommend Frailty to anyone who hasn't seen it. Not really scary, or gory for that matter, but Bill Paxton does a fantstic job in both direction and acting. Cool story with a nice twist at the end.

I just bought the Hong Kong version...looking forward to seeing it in all it's original Chinese glory...

anyway, on to the movies I have seen

LOTR TTT: Great....everything that can be said has been said.

Full Time Killer: Got this w/ my shipment from Hong Kong. The movie was really good, but it always just seemed like something was lacking. Still, a fantastic movie, although where that nicotine dude got his knees shot out it looked totally fake.

Shaolin Soccer: Again, go look up all the thread on here. 100 times better then I could have imagined. But the subs where fast as hell.

Saw a bunch of other movies that I have seen before plus a bunch more I have to see I got from Christmas, then Police Story and Attack the Gas Station to finish what I got from Hong Kong.

Seen Two Towers, liked Fellowship more. -8 (I'm being harsh since I'm a big LOTR fan)
Watched the four hour Personal Journey Through The Movies With Martin Scorsese on TCM. Gained alot of insight into pre-70s movies, and found out Scorsese REALLY likes movie

. -9
The Hidden Fortress, by Kurosawa. I'd heard this was one of his lesser films, and while the plot is a bit lite it doesn't mean the movie doens't look awesome and has many memorable scenes. -8
I tried watching The Untouchables, but gave up after 30 or so minutes. Any attempt at morality is pushed aside for stupid action movie cliches, blah.
Masters of Horror, a special on Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, John Landis, George Romero, and others. Learned a bit about some movies and the directors, but it wasn't long enough and felt cheap. -6

Dog Soldiers - a werewolf movie I actually liked
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood - man, I give this two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimeron - awesome animation, cool story, wish the horses talked, oh well.
Wedding Planner - JLo sucks, but this movie was a pleasant surprise
Impostor - Everyone hates it, but I like it.
Hearts in Atlantis - another pleasant surprise.

I think I have bad taste in movies.

I just watched From Dusk Till Dawn, while it is a good movie, I found it to be one of the most fucked up movies I've ever seen. Just the fact that it is your norma; action movie and then out of nowhere there are (spoiler)

VAMPIRES!!!!!!
Cant say I was expecting that. also the whole vampire thing was never really explained, well still a great movie none the less.

I saw Panic Room highly intoxicated, and it blew my mind. I was not in a right state of mind at all, so any sort of judgement from me is totally void
