I did not see the ugly looking "Pulse", but the original japanese film, Kyoshi Kurosawa's "Kaïro", is one of the best horror films of the last decade. It's stylished, darker than anything Hollywood could imagine, and really chilling.

As for "Almost Famous", it's my favorite movie of Cameron Crowe... I'm not huge on the man (Vanilla Sky and Elizabethtown, burk and mega burk), but he's a good storyteller, and Famous has an excellent vibe going for it, and killer performances.

Saw "Nanny Diaries" last weekend. It was okay but could have been much better. I think they should have concentrated more on the satire and got rid of the "young woman finding herself in the big city" stuff, which has been done to death. And they should NOT have tacked on a sappy, sentimental, girl-power ending. It didn't fit at all.

No wonder it bombed. It sounds cheesy...

That's pretty much what I thought when it was over. I hadn't understood before why it didn't do better. It could have easily been a Devil Wears Prada-type success, but they diluted it to death.
