Do you want to try Spanish horror? The Baby's Room (can't th8nk if the Span8sh title) was pretty good, as is anything by Guillermo Del Toro. Pan's Labyrinth is his best known, but Chronos and The Devil's Backbone were very good, too. The Orphanage is one he produced, and it's wonderful (if very sad). Amores Perros is another good Spanish language movie.I have been watching quite a few Spanish films in the past week. I'm getting better and better at Spanish, but man, they talk so fast, I still have to use the English subtitles. Some of these are very good, some silly romantic movies, but I've enjoyed them all. I think I must have been Hispanic in an earlier life.

I've chosen a bunch more for my Netflix list. Are there others you can recommend? I also have Amazon Prime. Gracias!
Oooh, thank you Autumn! These sound great. Didn't Del Toro direct Crimson Peak? I quite liked that (mostly because of Mia and Tom). When I come over for the ox tail soup, we can discuss more!Do you want to try Spanish horror? The Baby's Room (can't th8nk if the Span8sh title) was pretty good, as is anything by Guillermo Del Toro.

I know I've seen and liked others, but my brain has gone into full stall.

Yes, he did! Also Pacific Rim (a personal favorite) and other English language films. I love his Spanish films, though.Oooh, thank you Autumn! These sound great. Didn't Del Toro direct Crimson Peak?

The stage show - a simple two-hander - is excellent, and the ending (quite different to the film) works perfectly. I thought Radcliffe was a poor choice for this - his 21st century estuary English accent was completely out of place in a turn of the 19th/20th century piece....thought it was a decent enough vehicle for Radcliffe....
....no argument....should have expanded on the "decent enough vehicle" comment....I simply judged it from the standpoint of taking him out of his Potter(invisibility)cloak-overall, other than some nice cinematography-the movie sucked.....The stage show - a simple two-hander - is excellent, and the ending (quite different to the film) works perfectly.

That's a classic...Logan's Run
Oh, I know it's after 1 AM here, but this has me laughing uncontrollably.but should probably reconsider any plans to go shirtless anymore--old man flat boobs
The Mummy. Not one I'll likely want to watch over and over, but not nearly as bad as I'd been led to believe. Cruise is in amazing shape for an older actor, but should probably reconsider any plans to go shirtless anymore--old man flat boobs. Russell Crowe did his usual bang up job. He was really creepy In his second role (being obscure for the benefit of anyone who hasn't seen the movie but plans to). Some unsettling CGI; I can get behind that.
