Then can I recommend both "A Very Long Engagement" and "Cinema Paradisio" as well?
Some people are not into the whole subtitle thing. I think it opens up a whole new world of film choices.

I used to be so against seeing subtitled films. After much conditioning through my gf, I don't mind them at all and it definately opens up so many viewing possibilities...some of the best films I've seen are foreign, subtitled films.

+1 on almost any of Louis Malle's films.

Looooved Religulous. Bill Maher annoys me but I'm in complete agreement with him regarding that movie's message.
I love the Coen Bros as in I think Millers Crossing is one of the all time great movies but I thought Burn After Reading was a suckfest.

In my mailbox tomorrow:
The Hangover
Inglorious Basterds
Julie & Julia
The last things I sent back:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - didn't like it. It didn't hold me at all
Slumdog Millionaire - excellent. I some how missed it when it came out
Up - Good. One of the better animated family movies of the decade. Great dog footage
Star Trek - Good fun. Something I will buy when it goes on sale.

The Hangover was genius. Really well done. Zach Galifianakis is great. My brother kept singing "We're the three best friends that anyone can have" over and over during Christmas. You should love it.
HP 6 was rubbish. Too much teen love crap. Needed a bigger wizard battle at the end. I was bored to tears. The girlfriend liked it. Shocker.
I have Paranormal Activity and 9 coming this week. Pretty psyched since I missed both in the theaters.

I just put District 9 to the top of my Netflix queue.
HP6, the book, was a good read. The movie just didn't work.

Just sent back The Hangover waiting for Season 1 of Kalifornication.

I really enjoyed the HP6 novel. A good read and the wizard battle at the end should have made for an epic fight scene in the movie. Again, too much teen love. It will be interesting to see how they screw with the book 7 movie.
I will be curious to see your reaction to District 9.
I forgot to update my Netflix since before christmas and turns out I have the Hangover coming (instead of Paranormal Activity) as well as the Elijah Wood animated movie 9 in the mail today. Damn.

Just watched "Paranormal Activity" last night. It was pretty good, and when you factor in the budget and how it was made, I was impressed.

Saw it last week with the girlfriend and forgot to post until now.
Call me a sissy, sally, etc. but that movie scared the $h!t out of me. And not because it had EXTREME special effects, but I thought the plot line was good and really bought into it. That being said, I never saw the Blair Witch Project. I think the budget was somewhere around $20k. What adds to the spooky factor...no music. Anywhere.
We did the whole "watch with one light on" thing as we ate dinner. Apparently every time something scary was about to happen, I stopped chewing.
Also, on blu-ray, it gives you the ability to choose what ending to watch. I HIGHLY suggest the theatrical ending first.
Now, I have Grand Torino on the way.

Am I the only one that read the title "Latex Netflix Selection"?
Please tell me I'm not the only one. I don't even have a latex fetish, ironically.

Lars And The Real Girl
I watched "Lars" at least a year ago, and was reminded of it by the story I just posted in AZ's "News of the Weird" thread (see below), in which a man married a pillow with a cartoon face drawn on it.
One's initial impulse is to laugh at Lars, and the "story may sound intolerably precious, but 'Lars and the Real Girl' is disarmingly sweet and quietly affecting."

It rated high on the Tomatometer. Hey, it might even get your mind off this depressing weather. :beer:

Meh... watched it the other night. It was pretty gory and funny in parts...but mostly I couldn't wait for it to end.
Recent "likes" from Netflix:
"Peter and Vandy" (which is available for instant viewing)
"The Ugly Truth" (more than a chick flick, which surprised me)
"Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" was hideous...
"Taking Woodstock" is on the table and "500 Days of Summer" is due to arrive tomorrow.
