I also watched True Grit (Jeff Bridges). I liked it better than the original.

And, another good one..... Law Abiding Citizen.
Watched a Hong Kong horror film called Dream Home.
I guess it's a slasher as there's an antagonist who goes around killing people and the kills are fucking beyond brutal and gory. But it's really it's own thing. It's a female killer with motives unlike any other horror antagonist I can think...and that's part of what makes it as creepy as it is. It's supposedly based on true events, but even if that's true, there was some major artistic license being taken here.
It's solid and I highly recommend it, but I really need to take a moment to compliment the creativity and execution of the kills (and there are quite a few.) This isn't old slasher fare with almost cartoonish machete hacks or one strike decapitations. These are realistic and innovative and just horrendous. The amount of detail spent on each truly makes them all works of art in some sick way. It's not torture porn where the idea is to demonstrate some premeditated sadistic gross out or cringe contest. These kills all have substance to them and often effect other aspects of the scene(s) in ways you'd never expect.
So yeah, if you like gore or really dark horror or you're just looking for something new and interesting, you might want to give this one a shot. There is a subnarrative that acts as commentary on capitalism and consumerism and even works in the current global economic crisis in a small way and it all fell a bit flat to me, but it's such a small part of the movie that it can be easily tuned out if you're just wanting the horror experience and nothing more.

persona non grata
Women In Trouble. Maybe not the greatest movie ever but Adrianne Palicki was hilarious as the not so bright pornbimbo.
