1	Grindhouse (Grind House) (2007, R) One of the best times at the movies I can remember. Tarantino's film has problems, but it's still worth seeing. I think if he had done a few more drafts, he would have worked out the kinks. Rodriguez' Planet Terror was fantastic, though. The Mrs. Dr. Block is this year's Barbara Crampton.
2	Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars (2004, PG) Ties up more threads from the series than I expected. Feels a little like a whole season on fast forward, but well done. I wonder-- was this released theatrically overseas? Several elements support this: the style of credits, the changes in make-ups, the exposition. Even Pilot's voice, now deeper in tone, helps a new audience to understand that he is male, not female. A few distracting things though: Chiana was a little "rounder," I couldn't get used to Sekozu's new look, and I think they were trying to hide the fact that a stand-in played Grandma for half her scenes.
3	Night of the Living Dead (1990, R) Saw this was on HD, so I had to stay up late. Patricia Tallman rocks -- what has she done since Babylon 5 folded? And don't get me started on Tony Todd.
4	Spider Baby, or The Maddest Story Ever Told (Attack of the Liver Eaters) (1968, Unrated) Not your typical canniballistic inbred homicidal California gothic melodrama.
