I’m in the mood to curl up on the couch and watch a movie tonight. What should I see? I have a video store a block from my house and they carry everything.
I like “heady” movies, bizarre stuff, sort of dark but not necessarily overtly morbid. I’m not in a comedy mood.
This past week I watched \*The Machinist \* and _The Woodsman_. I really liked The Machinist.
Thanks.

The City of Lost Children is pretty bizarre. I actually haven’t seen the whole thing, as I rented it when I was sick and the bizzareness made me feel worse (like I was hallucinating or something) and it’s in French, so I fell asleep anyway. But if you want bizarre…

Ah yes, bizarre indeed. I really enjoyed that movie. French and all.

I have seen **Thumbucker** , **Junebug** , and **Happy Endings** in the past few weeks and I liked them all.
