A History of Violence
Pretty much everything fosterguy said about Babel I say about this movie. Absolutely amazing film, but some seriously dark and disturbing scenes in terms of sex and violence. Its good stuff.

George Romero's: Diary of the Dead
An interesting movie for the man who created the world of the un-dead. While not as flashy or over the top as "Day" or "Land", I really feel Romero captured back the true essence of his old movies with this one. It feels real, it feels sincere, it feels dark and offers that classic Romero bleak outlook on humanity. This movie feels very real and I think really captures everything that made the original zombie movies good. The message of the movie is great and brilliantly played out, with some humor and gore along the way. A great addition to the "Dead" movies. Romero can still kick ass, even with a low budget movie.

"Futurama: Bender's Big Score". I finally got the opportunity to watch this and it was great to see the Futurama gang back in action. I was really impressed with how they used so many of the secondary characters and manage to avoid making it feel forced. Great stuff!

Anyways, the last two movies I watched were both horror movies, each one representing a different extreme in quality. First up was Lucio Fulci's House By The Cemetery, which, though it wasn't without its entertainment value, was little more than a mind-blowing mess, complete with incomprehensible storyline (the bad kind, not the David Lynch kind), a badly dubbed kid voice-over and, just to make the experience totally complete, a little bit of the standard crap which gives bats an undue bad reputation. Second was Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, which is a masterpiece. At least birds, unlike bats, are a slightly less obvious and over-beaten target for the horror movie genre, and, even if the bird effects do look a tad dated in places, Hitchcock builds and sustains the tension supremely well. This has to be one of his very greatest films, alongside Vertigo.

The last third of 1996's Twister
It was okay. Now I'm going to nitpick it apart: Why did people out in the thick of the tornado not get nicked and marred to pieces by the insane amounts of flying debris? Why did that pickup truck continue to drive after getting practically crushed by a flying gas truck, among many other things that would total a normal car? Why is it that when the male and female leads were out totally unprotected in the tornado and hanging onto a set of pipes while strapped to said pipes with leather straps, that the wind speed and suction didn't rip their clothes right off their bodies? I dunno either. Just some stuff I'm throwin' out there, since I'm from the Midwest-- we have tornadoes there, y'know.

Haha, I love that movie. Unrealisticality and all. (is that a word?) I'm also a fan of Helen Hunt. I've had a fascination with tornadoes since I was a kid, as I too was born and lived my early childhood in the US Midwest. It was an adrenaline rush ever since I was a wee lass.
As for the last movie I watched, I saw the first half of Who Framed Roger Rabbit this evening on CN. I haven't seen that movie in years. Didn't catch the ending of it, though.

Don't ask why I saw it, but Barnyard: The Original Party Animals
A movie created by people who have never seen a real cow.
