That sounds interesting. Is there a number people should be shooting for?

I really, really, really liked Eastern Promises.

But I walked in with zero expectation. If someone had recommended it to me, hyped it up, I wonder what I would have thought.

Unfortunately it wasn't as good as I was hoping. Still good, but not great like I had hoped. Also saw 50/50 w/ Seth Rogan & that was ok, again nothing earth shattering but a decent movie.

Have you seen anything lately that really rocked your world? I'm trying to think if I have, but it seems like I forget about things almost immediately after my initial reactions. I think Black Swan was the last movie that I left really thinking "Holy [expletive]!"

I took your recommendation and watched Sin Nombre a while ago. Very good. Read a non-fiction book a few years ago about the harrowing journey of train-riders "Enrique's Journey" that seemed to jibe that the movie is not too far-fetched.

If you liked Sin Nombre I think you will like the others.

I'll also add Entre Nos to the list:

I did a screener of The Woman in Black last night and enjoyed it. It's everything you'd hope for from a Hammer movie- just a good ol' creepy haunted house movie with a ton of jump scares.
