Handling The Undead
Latest from Let The Right One In author John Ajvide Lindqvist. Pretty good story but way too much like the French film They Came Back.

Documentary based on the wildly popular economics book. I was a bit bored by the sumo wrestling segment, but the rest of segments were good.
The Keep, 1983

Winter's Bone, 2010
A young girl (newcomer Jennifer Lawrence was pitch perfect) desperately searches for her meth-cooking father in order to save her family.
