Hope y'all are having a great Tuesday. Ally and Gilmore tonight. Yay!!! I've been eating too much. I just got a whole lot of chocs and candy from The Cookie Man at Takashimaya. Ack! They're just so darned good, I couldn't resist.

Trailers: Psychos and domestic violence.

The things that seem to bring in the thrills these days are psychopaths/baddies and homes assaulted by them. Following at the heels of Panic Room, here are some interesting flicks from a somewhat similar genus. Hollywood does think alike. To view these trailers, make sure you got Quicktime 5.
Enough

Starring Jennifer "J.Lo" Lopez. J.Lo portrays Slim, a woman on the run with her young daughter from an obssessive and dangerous man who relentlessly hunts them down, her own abusive husband.

One Hour Photo

What happens when your friendly photograph developer turns out to be a mentally disturbed person who obssesses over you and your family and tracks your life through the film you send in and stalks you with a camera? Chosen as a candidate for the Sundance Film Festival 2002, One Hour Photo is touted to present Robin Williams' finest acting yet as Seymour the demented photo developer. Although Williams is no stranger to dramatic roles, this film marks a drastic departure from his usual funny-man-roles and plunging headfirst into the haunting psycho category a la Hopkins. He plays another psycho suspect in Christopher Nolan's remake of Insomnia coming soon also.
