Hard Candy (2005)

I've heard a lot about this movie, mostly negative things, but it seemed intriguing. Watching Super, which featured Ellen Page, last night reminded me I had been meaning to watch this.

Over all, it was a pretty worthless movie, though perhaps an interesting psychological experiment: Do you feel sympathy for the man undergoing torture even after child pornography and a photo of the missing girl are found in his possession? Or do you gleefully root for the crazy teenager and the sick things she is doing to this man?

Overall, I am glad I watched it, though I will probably never watch it again.

Dark City Director's Cut (1998)

Picked this up on a buy 1 get 2 free blu-ray sale a few months ago. Had never seen any version of the film before. Perhaps if I had seen this back in 1998, I would have thought a lot more of it, but for me it fell kind of flat. It had an engaging story, pretty visuals, and Jennifer Connelly. Yet somehow overall it did not manage to pull me in or make me really care much about what was happening.
