Curdled

This was a really nice surprise. A dark, off-beat and peculiar film with a few laughs and alot of violent subject matter (However, there is little onscreen violence.) Quentin Taratino's company put it out and he got the Executive Producer billing for it so if you like QT's stuff, this is along those lines and I don't think you'll be disappointed. (He did not write or direct it though.)

There's also a nice Dusk Til Dawn reference in there for those that are watching closely.

The Brothers Grimm

Well, I had heard bad things about this so I didn't have my hopes up. That being said, it didn't exceed my lowered expectations, nor did it disappoint them. The imagery was pretty cool but the story itself was rather bland. All in all, I felt this film coulda been done a LOT better than it was, but it wasn't terrible.

Session 9

I didn't seem to like this as much as most people here. It was okay, but I didn't really find anything too special about it.

The Gift

This movies only saving grace was the all-star cast and Katie Holmes knockers. Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves, Katie Holmes, Greg Kinnear and Giovanni Ribisi, (also the guy that played Schillinger on Oz) make this a very well acted film but the plot was pretty stupid and fairly predictable. They tried to throw a couple twists in to the end, but it was also fairly predictable.

I don't know... If you are in to psychic thrillers or you haven't already seen a dozen other movies with similar twists atthe ends, you might like it. I wasn't crazy for it.
