I didn't rent, but I uh...got a copy of that vampire movie from the other thread (Let the Right One In). It was pretty good. I'd say sadly haunting and very suspenseful. And just gory enough. It was subtitled in English, which is so much better than those horrid dubs.

I watched 30 Days of Night again recently, knowing it was suck ass of course. I still like the comics much better.

"Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter"
Great Great Film...
to poorly quote the first line of the film, it is something like, "Where have all the lesbians gone?"

it's a good thing i waited till after midnight to watch this or it would have knocked The Fall out of the best movie i saw in 08 out of it's place. As is, it's a helluva mark for a movie to top for the rest of the year.

Leave it to Aronofsky to have a stripper quoting scripture to draw an inference between Christ and a professional wrestler!

The constant following behind right behind them with the camera kind of got on my nerves but it really gave the movie it's own feel. And I kinda wanted more resolution at the end but i don't know of any other way he could have ended it better.

Harold and Maude is shipping today from Netflix. Next I'll rent Pat and Mike. Then Fanny and Alexander. Can you think of any other titles like this? Franny and Zooey doesn't count--unless they make a film adaptation of it.

Maybe it's a stretch, but Zelly and Me? Very good, it has David Lynch in it, too.

That might just be in a related category. It would go with Marley and Me, though. What others?

The TV show it concluded, Firefly, should have lasted longer.

I just netflixed The Fall again - Garrick didn't see it on the first viewing so I got it again so he could see the effects. I was really impressed. I don't often watch movies more than once.

I have a hard time finding anything good in rental form nowadays and if I don't think I'll love it, I don't get it. So the last one was probably "Die fetten Jahren sind vorbei (The Edukaters)". Amazing movie.

My local library. Happy I always find amazing movies there that are a bit more alternative and that the rental places don't have (Roman Polanski's "Repulsion", "Ilsa, she-wolf of The SS" Run Lola Run, The elephant Man, etc.)

I just added The Fall to my list thanks to your recommendation, Shana.

My last rental was Be Kind Rewind. UGH. It's made me implement a no Jack Black rule - I'm sure he used to be funny but all of his recent movies are seriously bad.

Which one, Michael Pitt or the other one? That movie was so bad, it was nearly unwatchable. It didn't help that the DVD kept skipping over the few parts where stuff actually happened.
