Yeah - I don't get that; why do people hate her so much? I saw her first in Hard Candy and was RIDICULOUSLY impressed with her acting skills. That role is NOT an easy role to do, but I thought that she nailed it with this innocent ferocity that was horrifying at the same time. She was delicate at times and an honest threat.

I loved her in Juno, too. I don't know why we have so many Page-haters.

Eraserhead
 
WTF was that all about???:confused: The movie definitely had an impact. i enjoyed the constipated feel of the characters, the sound was ingenius, and the camerwork was perfectly awkward, but i could get all of that by taking acid and sitting alone in my kitchen. Ashe.

I'm not sure what the R2 release looks like, but I do know that Criterion is releasing it in a couple of months.

You can watch the trailer there, too.

Re-Animator (1985)

Stealth (2005)

I was in the mood for a mindless Hollywood explosion flick, and this one was exactly what I was looking for.

The whole plot falls apart once you put any thought into of course, but the CGI was decent, and the characters surprisingly were a little bit more than walking clichés (I was especially impressed with Sam Sheperd).

Nothing special of course...but half-decent entertainment.

Out of curiosity, everybody's giving their opinion about what the director and writer wanted to do (or intentionally did) and I was wondering if there was an interview out there or if it's all assumption.

When it was featured on Comcast On Demand there were several behind the scenes featurettes, including a 40 minute special with the producer- who was, in fact, the one who came up with the idea and oversaw every fascet of the film. It was very informative. In fact, I recommended it in this very thread when I saw it. I hoped at the time you would watch it in light of the discussions we were having about the role of the producer.

At the beginning she drugs him. After that she has him restrained at all times, or drugged, except for the one time he gets loose. I think he doesn't expect her to to be so powerful when she gets the upper hand.
