Last night we watched Ginger Snaps, a terrific little horror movie about two adolescent sisters going through the nightmare of high school. They're both a bit suicidal until the older sister, Ginger starts menstruating--and boy do her hormones start working--the parental interaction is nicely done, with Mimi Rogers excellent as the (possibly not so) clueless mom. K&G says there's a sequel that K likes even better but I'm not sure I want to see what's next....I'm satisfied with the ending of the first film.

Also Hellboy (1) is pretty good, although there were two unnecessary plotholes you could drive a truck through that could have been fixed with a few additions to the script.

The "hellhound" was said to duplicate each time it was killed and resurrected but at the end, with no explanation they're all killed.

Liz's soul is stolen by Rasputin but never gets it back (and there's no difference in her or mention of this fact).

i always assumed the hellhounds had to all be killed at once because if anything remained they'd resurrect, so she took out the eggs and the adults and voila, really cool cgi.

and that hb scared whatever was holding her soul in the afterlife for rasputin and it gave it back.

maybe i'm falling prey to my habit of filling in gaps. i'm most fond of movies that have space for me in them.

I think you're filling very large gaps :-)
