[criterionmaster]

DVD'S I'LL BUY

A Scanner Darkly - I must see this, I will just buy it.

The Wicker Man (1973) - Is this worthy of buying or should I rent it first?

DVD'S I'LL RENT

Lady in the Water - heard mixed things, but the good stuff has been really good so I will check it out.

Little Miss Sunshine - dontdigonswine is fucking flipping out over this so I will see it, although it looks pretentious.

The Promise (Wu ji) - I heard it was terrible, but it looks fantastic. I will check it out.

When The Levees Broke - Looks good, but I will rent it first.

DVD'S I'LL SKIP

All the King's Men - Doesn't interest me.

Altered - Nope.

American Pie: Naked Mile - Why do they continue to ruin film with these? They are all so terrible, not even the first one had any merit. It is just the same jokes that have been done over and over, except they resort to even dirtier humor which doesn't take talent to do.

Best Foot Forward - Not huge on musicals.

Brooklyn Lobster - "Scorsese Presents..." so I will probably watch it if it is ever on TV.

The Celestine Prophecy - any good?

Checking Out - eh.

Conversations With Other... - Nope.

Dreamland - No.

The Illustrated Man - awesome cover, if someone recommends it, I will watch it.

Invincible - Looks like another terrible sports movie.

Jet Li's Fearless - Have no interest.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend - Looks god-awful.

Operation Crossbow - good?

Police Story: SE - Not in the mood.

Presenting Lily Mars - good?

Step Up - UGH!!!!!

There Was A Crooked Man - Good?

Up Periscope - Good?

The Wicker Man (2006) - NEVER.

Zombie Nation - This looks fucking horrible!
