DVD Rentals

I work overnights sitting behind a computer. I get my work done pretty quick and end up having most of the night to myself. What do I do with the rest of my time? Watch movies. Here's this week's mentionables.

"Sublime"

I was very surprised with this movie. Not what I was expecting. Simple plot with a great twist. The actors could have been done better but they didn't ruin the movie. Worthy of being called a mind-bender. The guru gives it 3 out of 5.

"Lucky Number Slevin"
I don't know why I didn't see this movie sooner. Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, and Sir Ben Kingsley. Another movie with a neat twist. 3.5 out of 5.

"Shutter"
A Thai horror film a friend of mine recommended. Came out in Thailand in 2004, was only released in the US within the past month. This isn't a gory horror flick. It's a ghost story. "Horror" flicks rarely make me jump in my seat, let alone scare the shit out of me. This didn't scare this shit out of me, but it did startle me. If you see it on the shelf... rent it. Or just put it in your netflix queue. 3.75 out of 5.

"R-Point"
One of Korea's all time highest grossing horror films. Released in 2006. Story about missing soldiers in the Vietnam war. Highly recommended. 3.75 out of 5.

"Sheitan"
French flick. Remember the Nightfox character in Ocean's 12? Well that dude plays the bad guy, you probably won't recognize any other actors. This was an awesomely bad movie. This chick lours these 3 dudes to her house in the country and weirdness ensues. 3.25 out of 5.

That's it for now.
