Don't want to watch it, sorry. I doubt it would be "deep".

The anime was semi-deep IMHO (though my idea of deep isn't too deep).
undetz:
I found Hellraiser to have surprising depth. The movie is essentially a metaphor for
(click to show/hide)a family trying to cope with the psychological trauma and aftermath of sexual child abuse, domestic violence and rape. The father is trying to get his shit together but fails, he can't manage to keep his violent tendencies "hidden away in the attic", the mother knows full well that it's fucked up, but her coping mechanisms screw her over, she has convinced herself that she enjoyed being raped by her husband. The daughter is the only one who has managed to handle the trauma, she cut most of her ties and is living her own life, she refuses to go back and live with her parents. She still acknowledges them, but she's not taking any chances.
The reason they moved in the first place was that they wanted to start over and get away from the neighbours who probably knew but didn't talk about it. Of course it doesn't work, the demons are inside them.

Im not sure if the list in the OP is a list of films you planned to review or films that you wanted reviewed. Ive seen most of them, but the one I have seen (or re-seen) most recently was Fargo, so I will add a review.
The film follows a car salesman from Minnesota (William H. Macy) who finds himself in a heap of debt and in an effort to get some quick income, he hatches a plan to stage his wifes kidnapping. He then hires two bumbling crooks played by the socially awkward Steve Buscemi and his silent but violent partner in crime played by Peter Stormare. Once things begin to get out of hand, in comes detective Marge played by Frances McDormand. The rest of the film portrays the the events leading to its eventual outcome. Which I will omit to avoid spoilers.
This is a pretty good film over all. Its not a comedy by any means, but it does have a few funny scenes, often attributed to its copious use of yooper accents. Perhaps I found it a bit funnier because I live fairly close to areas where many people actually talk like that so it was one of those "lol, so true" type of things. There arent any deep meanings or anything, but I would recommend the film to those looking for something a little more serious but not deep or boring.
Dont know what else to say.
I kinda feel like people looking for actual film reviews could find them somewhere else, but I was bored so I chipped in.

Films that I'm going to review.
Fargo is one of the films I also plan to write an analysis about.

Hmm. Most interesting :P
Edit: Gonna do a review and analysis later today. I think I'll do Taxi Driver. Done writing it. I'll put it in a separate post after someone makes a post.
