Yep. Star Trek wasn't terrible, but Moon was one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

I just finished watching Antichrist. It's in theaters around here but also on Comcast on demand, which is how I watched it.

So, um, holy [expletive]. It's a doozy.

I'm not too squeamish when it comes to cinema, though I will occasionally turn away from an especially vile or visceral bit of gore. There was a shot in this film that made me look away.

The things Charlotte Gainsbourg did for this movie are pretty, uh, intense, you could say.

I saw "A Serious Man" last night. It's the Coen Brothers at the top of their craft. I can't even say too much about it without gushing. Just go see it.

The ending to Paranormal Activity is freaky.
[SHOW]
It looks like that girl kills that guy and then she walks toward the cops with a knife and then the cops shoot and kill her. I felt sad that the demons following the girl drove her so crazy that she killed her boyfriend and almost killed herself.

I didn't understand the tornado at first. But then my friends and I talked about the movie, and we realized the connection to the Book of Job. So I read the wiki page on Job and now I get it. I love this movie now, and really respect that the Coen's didn't dumb-down or even offer explanations on a lot of fairly obscure Jewish religious and cultural references
