So that's two good parts. You guys say SURVIVAL is worse? Wow. Think I'll go watch another episode of JUSTIFIED. The guy whose head slowly dissolved after being splashed with acid was kinda cool.

These streaming rights are not very expensive for independent films, but it is up to the film owners whether or not they want to sell them that right. @Frankbooth : As I understand it, Netflix buys the rights to stream the film online for a predetermined amount of time.

Even when she's not holding a gun (or pointing it at the camera) she looks awesome; it's the badass juxtaposition between her girlish face and that cold, dead stare.

MS 45 is probably my favourite. The I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE remake looks, at least from the trailer, like it's going to be torture porn. THRILLER fits more easily into the DEATH WISH mold, which I think would appeal more to the kind of people who follow this blog. Of course, the awesomeness of a badass woman in an eyepatch blowing chumps away with a shotgun transcends all decades and genres. Even if it is in absurdly exaggerated slow motion. frankbooth: If you rent from Netflix (or a brick-and-mortar store) they still have to purchase the films. I'd consider that a step up from getting a pirated copy. If it's a movie that's VHS-only or long since out of print then I'm less conflicted about downloading it. It's not like the creator sees any money if I score a second hand VHS tape off eBay.

In German. From what I've read about the quality of the dialogue and acting, it might be better that way. (Apparently, the German for "hey dude" is "hey dude.") I liked the Amish guy. --"I'm Samuel hello" is a great moment. But he's not around for long, and his exit is ridiculous even by zombie movie standards. (Well, I guess it isn't much sillier than human bodies coming apart like warm croissants in DAY. But that looked a lot cooler.) * I don't see a difference between renting a film from Neflix and watching it online. I'll occasionally watch older films -- like DEATH WISH sequels -- in chunks on YouTube. I'm not paying anyone for a pirated copy, and I assume the creators don't see a dime either way. (For that matter, how about buying used copies? No royalties.) Not to start up a new discussion about ethics, but if anyone disagrees with this, I'd be interested in hearing your viewpoint. Also -- does everybody under a certain age download films and music as casually as their parents turned on the TV? It sure seems that way sometimes. Hmm, found DIARY on a site called MyVideo*.

(This is why I wanted to see the remake of "My Bloody Valentine". Boy, did I regret that one. I've written my thoughts on it in the "MBD 3D" review thread, but basically, if you ever had any plans to see it, for the love of God, DON'T.) Some films are frustrating because they COULD have been great, if only this had been done differently, or that had been done differently... Those are the ones that I want to see remade, and they're the only ones that really have any reason to be. Leave the classics alone.
