Mrs Rangi and I were discussing this last night, and if there's one thing that Christian films of late haven't latched onto so much - it's subtlety - everything needs to be hammered home.

Best Christian movie - The Passion of the Christ - easily!
I agree!

He Never Died stars Henry Rollins as a sort-of-vampire and is on Netflix. It's good, funny, an easy watch that's not also dumb.

Today I watched Groundhog Day and The Hateful Eight. The former I'd probably seen 70% of before--flipping by it on cable and such--but I never remember actually sitting down to watch it. What a great movie. My reaction to The Hateful 8 is a bit more complex: as almost always, I think Tarantino draws some really great characters, and for probably more than half the movie I was on the edge of my seat and really digging everything about it. And then...
Spoiler: show
The introduction of the voice-over and the flashback just didn't really sit well with me. Everything had been moving along swimmingly just through dialogue and character work, and I really don't think much of that was needed to understand the stakes or the plot.
But overall I enjoyed it.

It seems like the voiceover would be really awkward without the intermission preceding it.

I watched Pretty in Pink last night for the very first time. And I can confirm that the entire Williamsburg aesthetic is based soley on Duckie's wardrobe.
