*Bonus points to anyone who knows where that title is from!

A couple days ago I returned two items to Blockbuster that were over a month late. The late fine turned out to be a little under three dollars but the two movies I was renting at the time were about ten bucks. I'm not sure if I got a deal or got ripped off...

<3 Netflix.

The two films I rented were The Machinist and Crash. I haven't had a chance to watch Crash yet but I did watch The Machinist. Christian Bale is so skinny it made me nervous, the technical quality of the filmmaking is great (especially one grisly and particularly well edited scene in the factory), and the film in general is pretty good but not as good as it feels upon first experiencing it. What I mean is that it feels like a great film that one could really sink their teeth into and mull over but in the end I was a bit underwhelmed. "Oh" is a bad reaction to have to a film or any other work of art.

Oh.
