I was able to get my hands on a copy of Ringu! It was pretty low key and scary, Japanese horror is so understated. That makes it more terrifying.

I just remembered "My Left Foot" was directed by Jim Sheridan..the same man who gave us "In America". I've seen that movie 4 or 5 times now and each time I cry no less than in 10 different scenes. Crap...I can cry just thinking of some of the scenes from that mvie.

Daniel Day got robbed, man. He was great in Gangs of New York. I don't think he was even nominated.

Lame? I take it he didn't mean it as a play on words? "My Left Foot" is a great movie. Incredible performance by Brenda Fricker, too!
