The majority of you -- 60% -- will forego the week's latest movie releases in favor of witnessing the IMAX Experience for the summer hit "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." I'm not expecting to see another record-breaking weekend along the lines of what happened when "Prince" opened a couple of weeks ago however. Mainly because there's some stiff competition this week.

The other favorite is Judd Apatow's "Funny People," which earned 21% of your votes. The story of a dying comedian and his young protege has garnered some mixed reactions. Apatow rarely disappoints when he brings the funny, but "People" supposedly has a more serious bent.

A movie about a priest who's transformed into a vampire might inspire some deep noodling about Catholic liturgy, no doubt. And that could be what Park Chan-wook, the waywardly brilliant South Korean director (and onetime philosophy student), had in mind in making his latest film, "Thirst." But just when we've set our brains on ponder, the picture muddies all hope of contemplation with flashes of the fearlessly eccentric imagery for which Park has become famous.

Park's narratives are ... challenging, you might say. Here, the virtuous priest, Sang-hyun, after volunteering to be a test subject in the search for a cure for a mysterious disease, finds himself developing a taste for blood. At first, being a gentle soul, or possibly just lazy, he siphons it out of comatose patients at the hospital where he ministers.
