If you're into horror movies.  I just came back from Sam Raimi's "Drag 
Me To Hell" which was a delight.   Really.  It was very entertaining and 
more like a dark comedy.  It is well executed and never takes itself 
that seriously.  It was fun being with an audience for a change to hear 
reactions.

Alison Lohman plays Christine, a bank loan officer, who is competing for 
a position as assistant bank manager.  An old lady comes to her to get 
an extension on her home loan to keep the house out of foreclosure.  To 
look good to the manager Christine turns down the extension.  The old 
woman puts a curse on her and the rest of the film is about her trying 
to get out of the curse including some help from an Indian mystic.  

Justin "I a Mac" Long plays her boyfriend and when we first meet him he 
is having a problem with his printer and Christine (who must use Windows 
at the office) fixes it for him.  And of course Justin's computer is a 
Mac.  So there are some great gags and lines in this film as well as 
some good fright gags.   The film makes a commentary on women competing 
with men in the workforce.  The current economic problems  such how the 
bank can actually make more money if the old woman's house goes into 
foreclosure (this is actually the case in many foreclosures).  And there 
is some good stuff on black magic and the occult.

Well worth a watch.
