    TFC Roulette (recommended by sanjay)

    It's James Cameron so obviously it's good.

    I also was afraid I might have already seen it but now that I watched it nothing seemed more familiar than what tends to be there when people generally talk about this movie. So of the three movies I mix up I had seen two (Sphere and Event Horizon) and now I've also seen this one.

    TFD Roulette (recommended by Nedax)

    It's pouring outside that even though it's pretty much the middle of the day I have to turn on the lights. So in many ways this is the perfect movie to watch in such weather.

    I'm not sure what to make of it. I guess I don't really have to be sure what to make of it because it is loads of things. Really the middle part is the most affecting. When it is unsettling…
