"Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia" should have been in the AFI Top 100.

Just watched Cashback. Really interesting movie. Lots of nudity, but weirdly done in a tasteful way.

I think I should pass on this one and the nightmares that would surely ensue. I guess I have a couple of months to decide.

I watched Sex and Lucia on Netflix. It's a Spanish movie, and Lucia does have a fair amount of sex. But the plot is also fairly dumb, and fairly creepy.

Example:

A man has a daughter he has never met. But he knows that she plays in a park every day without her mother. So he goes to the park, talks to his daughter, and occasionally sits on a bench stroking her hair. Then he begins talking to his daughter's nanny, who confesses that her mother is a porn actress and that she (the nanny) masturbates watching her mother's videotapes. Later, the man comes over and tells a goodnight story to his secret-daughter while the nanny puts on lingerie and then something horrible happens.

I picked up The Descent on Blu-Ray. I don't think I'm ever buying a horror movie on Blu-Ray again, because the special effects looked hilariously bad with that level of clarity. I also didn't think it was that great a movie, but I'm just never able to really experience a horror movie the way I am a drama or a comedy, so I just can't find them scary.

Also, am I really supposed to root for Sarah after she kills a total babe (Who is also one of her best friends) just because of the tragedy at the start? Screw that. Let the hot ones live.

Originally saw Carival of Souls on an old, beat up VHS tape and it scared the [expletive] out of me. Then rented the Criterion DVD after it came out and it was way too cleaned up and the makeup looked ridiculous because of clarity, as you mentioned.

Due Date was funny. Robert Downey Jr was funnier than Zach Galifianakis. Which isn't a slight against Galifianakis, it's a huge ass compliment to Downey Jr. What a stud he's been lately.

It's because he's got black hair, right?

His role in Tropic Thunder was captivating.
