The Unborn.

I'm usually a sucker for every horror/suspense flick that comes out, but this one stands out in the top 5 creepiest, startling movies I've seen in the genre. Watch alone, and really high.

I love horror movies. Two I really liked are the the Japanese versions of the Ring and the Grudge. For a campy one check out the Frighteners...Sam Raimi pre-Spiderman. 3 others that aren't exactly horror but pretty creepy are the Korean revenge trilogy... Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. All pretty rad.

I don't like horror or sci-fi, I realize this puts me on the outs with most of you.

"Quarantine". Its was alright but most the scary movies now a days end with the protagonist dying or loosing. Whatsup with that. "Strangers" is another good example.

Push

Entertaining and damn Dakota Fanning is a good actress for her age. Plus it's got Camilla Belle in it (Cue over sized photo of beautiful woman, now)

Wow, that means you're...not a geek. It's okay to admit it Gaz.

I like to imagine Gaz, Doc and Wilbur all share a profound passion for Highlander. They go to each other's houses, bring a complete season and a six pack. Goodtimes; There can be only ONE.

Powder Blue

i watched this one tripping. it was pretty good, kinda weird, a little directionless and a bit clique at times. overall it was interesting enough and fun to watchand i'd recommend it. patrick swayze essentially reprises his role in point break only now he's a burnout swanky strip club owner (it's pretty funny)

jessica biel plays a stipper...do i need to say more?

lisa kudrow shows up and does a good job

ray liotta also is in this, he's always fun to watch and he uses his eyes a lot in this movie
forest whitaker is in it too
its sorta like la story, only darker and different but relates the idea of being alone in a huge city and finding connection.

Jessica Biel might just be the sexiest female on Earth. Her strip scenes throughout that movie had me drooling and unable to form sentences or even take a drink from my beer... especially the final one :P It's a good watch for that reason alone!
