Wow, hell of a mix!

I like Tigerland, I reviewed it for one of the alphathons here: http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,5638.msg98264.html#msg98264

Out of all of them, I'd be interested in what you think of Running Scared. It's a rough and ready thriller and pretty much dismissed, but I enjoyed it because it has this weird fairy tale vibe to it. Borderline fantasy and therefore, although not horror, it might appeal to your similar sensibilities.

And Dreamers, eh? Who's sending you this box again?

[Rogmeister]

You do realize that Johnny Cash, the subject of Walk the Line, is a singer, right?  My dad went to see The Passion of the Christ with his church group.  I believe the movie is in Hebrew, not English.

[addicted2dvd]

Yes Roger... I realize both of those things... Thanks for the heads up anyway.

I found I can like a music oriented movie if it is done with a very good story. Which is why I enjoyed Ray as much as I did. Hopefully this one will be another one similar to that.

I think so. And as far as I remember, there wasn't much music.
