Last movie I saw was Crank and it wasn't bad. The last really good movie that I've seen was Pan's Labyrinth. Absolutely amazing movie.

just watched Bram Stoker's Dracula

I think they did an incredible job creating a gothic element to this film, also it works well as a horror film too. Although I didn't like the casting on this film, the actors did their part well... Overall an amazing film...

I'm still wondering why they cast Keanu Reeves in that movie...

You should, Japanese versions are usually better, more scarier. The ring in Japanese is just as good as Yu-On (American: The Grudge)

Why do they cast any movie with Keanu Reeves?

Ah, cool. Yeah the LOTR films are definitely on my "too see" list.

You should check out the Japanese version of The Ring though, it's much creepier than the Americanised version I reckon.

If you want to see a good japanese movie similar to Ringu, go watch 'The Eye'

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325655/

you can find it at blockbuster, and other similar places.

I have never enjoyed any Japanese horror films, except for the thrillers like Old Boy, or Battle Royale... I watched some of Ringu, and The Eye, but I found them to be too boring. Usually I don't finish a movie if I find it really boring, maybe I will try watching Ringu again. Actually I probably will seeing as how I have Ringu 0, 1, and 2 on DVD...

edit: I just looked up Old Boy, seems it is a Korean film, heh

Seen it, I think Yu-On is better
