Recently:

* Scarface

* HG Well's The First Men in the Moon. It's an oldie ('64) from special effects master Ray Harryhausen

* Christine

* Nowhere, a film that is, according to director Gregg Araki, "[Beverly Hills] 90210 on acid"

* C.S.A, a mockumentary (with faux commercials that fit the alternate timeline of the film) about how the South won the Civil War. Now, naturally, the South lost, but this film shows an alternate timeline, albeit in a satiric light, where the South one and slavery was never abolished.

Also have a few new DVDs I plan on watching:

* The Craft (only seen it once)

* Silent Hill (seen it a couple of times before, including once in theatres)

* American Hardcore, a documentary about the American punk rock scene in the '80s

* Police Story (an old Jackie Chan movie)

* some random kung-fu movie released by now-defunct Ground Zero entertainment (once scored a mess of GZ kung-fu DVDs for a few bucks each in a bargain bin up at Border Station, on the NC/VA border)

* American Psycho (Uncut Version)

* Sun Taam, aka Mad Detective (a DVD-R courtesy of Asian DVD Club)

* House of Wax 3D (from a VHD source with hardcoded Japanese subs, converted from stereophonic 3D to anaglyphic 3D; I DL'ed it from Cinemageddon)

God, Police Story. Classic. The ending blew me away. Much better than Police Story 2 in my opinion.

I haven't gotten to watch anything lately, as I've been swamped with schoolwork.

Max Payne: Too much inane noir and too little action. Avoid.

I just watched Elephant Man, it is a good movie, it is definably one of David Lynch's best work.

I just watched Sansho the Bailiff. It's a very sad film from 1954, set in the Heian period of Japan, about an exiled governor's family that is kidnapped by bandits and sold into slavery. It mostly follows the son and his trials as he runs away and eventually tracks down his family members while following his father's teachings about mercy and equality. If you're into classic Japanese cinema, this is a great one to watch.

RV, starring Robin Williams.

Better than I expected, I laughed quite a few times.

Just watched Gregg Araki's 1993 film "Totally F***ed Up", and am now watching his '97 film "Nowhere". Respectively, these films are the first and third entries in his "Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy", whereas the second was "The Doom Generation".

The Rage, this totally forgettable DTV horror film with some really gr8 gore effects laced with cheap CGI.

Gonna watch The Strangers and Dark Water later. The latter's the American version with Jennifer Connelly.
