Trying this again: Quick, gimme some DVD rental suggestions

[Paragon]

Gotta return MATRIX RELOADED and WRONG TURN before midnight, and I wanna pick up something new.

(By the way, for a movie with Eliza Dushku in a wife-beater and low-rise jeans, WRONG TURN was awful. Wanted to see RELOADED again and the DVD had some decent extras.)

I goofed and posted this in GD, it was moved here (3 times!), and now I can't change the subject line. Sorry.

4. always good for a laugh -- rent a movie that was filmed where you live

Good or bad, you can sit around and comment on the scenery. (in my case, it's "The Dead Zone", "Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe", and "Strange Brew")

www.imdb.com can help with pinpointing suitable locations ....

5. OK...I know you've all been in suspense...

I came back with FULL FRONTAL and WELCOME TO COLLINWOOD. Soderbergh is the man.

6. Onmyoji (Traditional Japanese fantasy story)

The Hypnotist (New wave Japanese suspense/horror)
Yojimbo (Kurosawa's take on the Western)
Sanjuro (sequel to Yojimbo)


I have a thing for Japanese flicks...
