Yes, I have actually watched this movie more times than the new Star Wars trilogy, but Contact is possibly the most under-rated film in history.  This time I just watched it for the commentaries.  I had already seen all the extras, but when something's in your Top 3 favorite movies of all time, then you play the film nerd for a bit.

God damnit, Loreli.  Kiss him already!

I saw most of this series when I was in, I don't know, sixth grade or so.  I re-watched the whole series from the beginning and went straight on through.  It's actually a cool series, but then again, viewing things through the lens of nostalgia is a peculiar variety of rose-coloreed glasses.

This wasn't as bad as I had anticipated.  I'm beginning to like Keanu.  Obviously the Devil is at work here, but it would be a conflict of interest to call in Jon Constantine as an exorcist.  (Incidentally, the performance by Peter Stormare as Satan is possibly the funniest performance every captured on film.)

I don't like to watch myself on video, but for this show I make an exception.  I mean, I'm being portrayed by someone else, so it's okay.

You ever see "The Island" with Ewan and Scarlett?  Well, this is the low-budget movie they ripped off to make that load of crap.

A couple short films the horror novelist and sometime director made years and years ago.  I loved the first couple Hellraiser movies and most of Barker's early novels (not sure where his talent went lately...), so I gave this a shot.  Only watch this on acid or use to treat insomnia.

The good thing about this show is that it treats life as the depressing lead-up to our funerals that it is.  Then you eject the disc and your life doesn't seem quite as bad as those characters have it most of the time.

Oh, so that's how it ends.  I can die in peace now.

Cute French movie about a music teacher.  It's like Stand and Deliver with subtitles.

Wow, this was great.  Film noir juxtaposed into a high school setting.  This shouldn't have worked, but it does.  Go watch it.

The only bad thing about the end-of-the-season discs are the cliffhangers.  Because I have to put of with Dani going, "when's the next one coming?" for the next few months until I cycle through other things I want to see and start adding more of these to the queue.

Brick.  Defintely worth checking out.  (Also, if you haven't seen Contact, then your life is somewhat impoverished.)
