Veronica Mars - The Complete First Season [dvd]
Yes we've been watching a show about a crime-solving teen. I think it's one of the best shows on TV. It's got great writing in the Joss Whedon style, it's got Hammett-esque intricate plots, it integrates per-episode and season-long storylines seamlessly, and it makes (social) class a major issue.

Equilibrium [dvd]
It's been a while since a flick pissed me off so much in the first 20 minutes. Puts style so far ahead of substance that the future world it proposes doesn't even make sense. I guess I should try and finish it but...

Me and You and Everyone We Know [dvd]
YAN ensemble drama but a very enjoyable one with lots of thematic detail and mirroring. And thematic 20" rims and those purple lights underneath - thematically speaking, of course

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer [dvd]
Not as good as I remembered it, but very good nonetheless. It has no suspense, but plenty of shock, and a consistent repulsiveness

Hostel (Unrated Widescreen Edition) [dvd]
I hated Cabin Fever so I wasn't expecting to like this, but it was gooood. Not for everyone, obviously.
