Disturbia

Goofy. Without Shia's natural charisma this one would have fallen apart completely. Not a terrible film, but I can't really recommend it. The opening car crash is pretty awesome, so it gets an extra point for that.

7/10

Zodiac ~ very, very good. Not my favorite Fincher film, but I do think it is one of his best.

Knocked Up - Unrated and Unprotected - 8/10
Hilarious movie. Good characters, and a lot of funny quotes. It's a bit long for a comedy though.

The 40 Year Old Virgin was better.

I haven't bothered with it, I thought the 40 yr old virgin went on far too long.....

The Edgar Allan Poe Collection

It's an uneven DVD of short films adapted from Poe's works.

Annabel Lee by George Higham is a stop motion puppetry freak-out. Beautifully wrought and loaded with symbology, it is the best of the bunch. The narration leaves a little to be desired.
8/10

The Raven
by Peter Bradley is really cool looking and gives a very literal translation of the classic poem. The film is live action with eponymous bird rendered as a cardboard puppet. The acting is over the top, but I dig it.
7.5/10

The Tell Tale Heart by Alfonso Suarez feature the talents of Paul Naschy. Sadly this "interpretation" lacks the terror and narrative punch which the short story holds.
5/10

I woke up at 4:30 am and couldn't get to sleep so I rewatched Audition and American Psycho. Both much more interesting when overtired. I was freaking out.

Well, when Dean Cain is the film's biggest star, that should tell ya something right off the bat. This was a pretty generic creature film about a giant prehistoric snake terrorising an underground Antarctic prison. There wasn't much gore, plot or quality acting, but there was plenty of bad CGI. All things considered, there's still some small level of cheesy entertainment value here, just not much of it.
