The Val Lewton Horror Collection
1 recommendation
"Val Lewton was a man placed in the position of B-Movie maker by RKO. But out of his limited budgets and lurid studio-provided titles, he crafted masterpieces of horror and suspense. His atmospheric films are often neglected and rarely talked about and this boxed set includes the best for an incredibly reasonable price. These are truly artistic thrillers all together in one collection for less t..."
The Bank Job
3 recommendations
"The Bank Job is one of the better Jason Statham movies. Based on a true story, its about a group of criminals that's commissioned by the British version of the C.I.A. to break into a bank and retrieve incriminating photos of a royal family member from a lock box. How they broke into the bank is pretty wild considering that this was actually done."
House of Wax (2005)
1 recommendation
"House of Wax is actually a really good scary movie and thriller. The best part of it was Paris Hilton's awesome death scene and she goes out quick so you don't have to put up with her for long."
Stay
1 recommendation
"Stay is a good film. It's interesting and confusing so you definitely have to watch it with a clear mind. Ryan Gosling plays the dark, mysterious role that that we've come to love. In this psychological thriller, he is the figment (or is he?) of a man's imagination after a horrible accident and they go through a series of events that lead up to the night of the crash."
Half Nelson
3 recommendations
"A complex drama about the friendship between a young idealistic social studies teacher, who has a serious cocaine habit, and a lonely thirteen year old student who's at a crossroads in her life. Features amazing performances from both leads and a great soundtrack from Canadian supergroup Broken Social Scene."
Wait Until Dark
2 recommendations
"Take heed of the title and wait to watch this one until it's dark outside, and do it with all the lights out. A thriller about a blind lady, some psycho guys, and a doll full of illegal substances... sounds like the perfect movie for a sleep-over. You know, if I still had sleep-overs..."
Blade Runner : The Final Cut

"I've been waiting for this for too long. Unfortunately I'd seen the original theatrical release so many times that when I finally got a chance to see the far superior "Director's Cut" I still had the crappy Deckard's voiceover narration running in my head--nightmare! This time I'm ready, many years have past since the "Director's Cut" I can now enjoy the new "Final Cut" without total recall of Dec..."
Mystic River

"School is finally over. No more finals, no more cramming, no more hiding from the sun while stuck inside of a library. So what is a guy to do to enjoy the outside world and new found freedom? Read outside under the sun of course! =P (Well maybe outside while under some form of shade.) Dennis Lehane novel 'Mystic River' is a thriller centering on the lives of three friends brought back togeth..."

Munich (2006)
1 recommendation
""Inspired by true events" leaves a lot of room for creativity and as interesting as this movie is, I bet reality is even more interesting. Too bad the true stories like this will never be made public. I bought this one because it's a great movie and Amazon is selling it for under $10."
The Constant Gardener (2005)
5 recommendations
""The Constant Gardener" jjuggles three film styles—the romance, the thriller, and provocative social realism. On all three levels, the film succeeds, especially with the latter. The strands of thriller and social realism are inextricably tied together in the film. As a whodunit, "The Constant Gardener" seeks to uncover what actually happened to Justin (Ralph Fiennes) and Tessa (Rachel Weisz) on th..."
