Just got back from the screening of Hostel (imdb | rotten tomatoes). I kinda liked it, but I think we were both a little disappointed. I think maybe we’d built up our own nerves so much that there was no way the reality could live up to the hype. Maybe I’m just de-sensitized now, but I never once felt sick or light-headed. C’mon, Eli!!

Now…all that said, the movie is ***WAAAAAAAY*** to graphic and gory for anyone who considers themselves even the slightest bit squeamish. Put it this way: if Saw or Creep bothered you, I’d stay away from this. If you could barely stomach Natural Born Killers or Cabin Fever, then for god’s sake, don’t even approach the theatre.

Also: we got home just in time for the third period of the world junior gold medal game, and Canada is kicking Russian ass. Barring a massive Canuck collapse, it looks like Evgeni Malkin and the rest of the Russians will have to eat their words.
