What do the movies we rent say about us?

The most frequently rented movies in and around Racine, according to Netflix: Cosmic rays, mutants, a cryptic killer, Mel Gibson's summer vacation in 16th century Central America and American backpackers' vacation in a haunted hostel (blood and gore included free). Could our tastes be any more lowbrow?

You have to go all the way down to No. 8, "The Ultimate Gift," for anything uplifting: a James Garner vehicle that feels like a Hallmark Channel Christmas special. Still, a lot better than those ahead of it on the list, and you can watch it with the kids.
