3. Like you, I also have been good today
I have cleaned up the bedroom, living room and bathroom. Now it is time to cook dinner. I'm also listening to Jessica's radio show, so I guess I can multitask too. :P

4. Of the choices listed, I'd go with Silent Hill personally...
But if you have the ability to procure the movie Brick, I recommend that.

5. Brick?? can you tell me a little about it? I am just now
starting to get into "scary" movies. I don't really care for slasher but, I liked the grudge, the others (saw it before anyone knew the give away) the ring. Not much into freddie and jason or the I know what you did flicks...

13. Brick is a neo-noir film set in a high school. Quite good.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393109/

"In a modern-day Southern California neighborhood and high school, student Brendan Frye's piercing intelligence spares no one. He's not afraid to back up his words with actions, and knows all the angles; yet he prefers to stay an outsider, and does - until the day that his ex-girlfriend, Emily, reaches out to him unexpectedly and then vanishes. His feelings for her still run deep; so much so, that he becomes consumed with finding his troubled inamorata. To find her, he enlists the aid of his only true peer, the Brain, while keeping the assistant vice principal only occasionally informed of what quickly becomes a dangerous investigation. Brendan's single-minded unearthing of students' secrets thrusts him headlong into the colliding social orbits of rich-girl sophisticate Laura, intimidating Tugger, substance-abusing Dode, seductive Kara, jock Brad and - most ominously - non-student the Pin. Only by gaining acceptance into the Pin's closely guarded inner circle of crime and punishment that Brendan will be able to uncover hard truths about himself, Emily and the suspects that he is getting closer to."

As for Silent Hill, it's like a surrealist industrial nightmare with elements of the occult and whatnot thrown in. Nothing spectacular, but a good solid horror flick, especally if you're a fan of the games (which I am).

17. I've seen the original Dutch version of The Vanishing...

Damn fine film. Haven't seen the remake, though I hear it's nowhere as good as the original (despite having the same director).

Yeah, Silent Hill is based on the Silent Hill video game series. (Well, specifically the first installment of the series, with elements of the second installment.) I'm not a big gamer, but I adore that series.

Brick is indeed out on dvd. Here's the trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/brick/trailer/
