I added Dylan Dog Dead of Night to my instant queue on Netflix, and it shows it's # 146 or so. Yet when I go on my X-Box to stream it, it tells me it's only available for DVD.  Weird. :/

Higher Ground

2011R112 minutes

Vera Farmiga stars in and directs this sensitive and searching chronicle describing a woman's lifetime journey of faith -- one that initially leads her to join a fundamentalist sect and then leave it again years later. Adapted from the spiritual memoir This Dark World by Carolyn Briggs, the film looks deeply into human doubt and certainty, and the challenge of trying to match our lives with our spiritual beliefs.

Monsieur Ibrahim

[Knaldskalle]

A link would've done it.

[Sevorin]

The flick was okay, no more.

 

What impressed me most was Lopez' ass, which looked about as big as Cleveland, Ohio.

[eviltimes]

I do like her ass.  It's not too big.  You've got to stop dreaming of Snookie or that giant Kardashian ass.  You'll end up like Micro.

[Spindaddydad]

Her ass is big. Some call it Juicy. Whatever. Perhaps not Cleveland but definitely Toledo. It's too big for my personal preference.

[Knaldskalle]

See the eyes of the guy to the right? He wants to be that photographer.
