Just rented American Gangster and 30 Days of Night. Havent seen 30 days yet but American Gangster was very good.
30 Days of Night is quite good for a vampire flick.
A professor of folklore from the U. of Texas @ Austin was hired to help develop the language that the vampires use in the film and also on some other thematic elements. That kind of attention to detail is a sign of quality.
I haven't seen American Gangster yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

The dead boy?
Are you talking about towards the end? When he shoots the guy?
That was the victim of the awful pedophile living with that couple.
Thanks BlueWillow, I didnt know if I had missed something more specific of who it was.
BEUWOLF, I missed it in 3D on Imax which I really wanted t see. It lacked alot obviously on small screen and was very violent/gory. Hard to beleive this is the "Polar Express" group, but it was entertaining.
Death Proof was awesome! Yea for Kurt Russell!!! Planet Terror was ok, Freddy Rodriguez & Rose McGowan were great. But I definitely liked Death Proof better.
I got this because of a link another posted to the beautiful title sequence with all the flags. That opening sequence was so much higher quality than this pathetic excuse for a "movie" however. I wasn't able to watch the whole thing. I showed a lot of discipline in staying up to the first 30 minutes when I thought there was a slight promise, but then had to turn it off at 45.
I first felt that this was a bad "made for TV" movie but this would be an insult to that genre. Then I thought the acting was like a bad high school play except that would be an insult... I felt sorry for Robert Duvall who looked like he knew he looked like a fool in his rediculous "Robert E. Lee" getup. And his "acting" (actually there was no obvious acting in this awful mess) was so thin as to be non-existant. I don't know how such a great actor could be reduced to this "performance."
Then came Stephen Lang whose "Stonewall Jackson" was primarily portrayed by having him in a huge hairy beard. Then there was another character who showed up in an even bigger, harrier beard. I was strongly reminded of that Dominoes Pizza commercial with the oreo cookie pizza. That commercial was superior to the movie and seemed to perhaps be the inspiration for a movie that was not as well realized.
I gave up when several men with hairy beards rode liesurely up to a scene where there were a lot of men shooting guns. At first I didn't get it that it was an actual battle. Everyone was so casual that I thought it must be rifle practice. Then the hairy bearded men stood casually by as they began to get shot down. I couldn't stand it anymore and turned the d**med abomination off.
When I selected this from Netflix I noted the unusually poor rating it had. Now I understand why.
American Gangster was good and a solid film but the story is old and is basically a re-hash of the same Mobster gets wealth and loses it all due to the cops story. No one can ever be "Goodfellas"
Just watched Babel last night ... wow, what a film. Much better than that piece of tripe, Crash.
