Peter Jackson's earlier films are very different to his later, bigger budget efforts! More B grade, schlock horror... think bad special effects, ridiculous monsters, and lots of fake blood :) It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Heavenly Creatures, but I remember really liking it.

On one hand, the movie is very faithful to the books and it's really fun to watch it after reading the books, but on the other, it really works better as a book. Marjani Satrapi did a book signing last year that I went to. She just fills up a room when she talks, and she's constantly telling jokes and stories and unapologetically chain-smoking. All of the people I've ever met who are from Iran are in a similar position as her family - educated, upper-class, etc., and they are all very fun and adventurous types. I think it really comes through in her book. Have you read the Persepolis books?

I started with the graphic novels, and they are very interesting and moving. I still haven't watched J&J yet, but I want to. Even if it is bad, I have already read the book so I have something to fall back on (and well, food!). I loved Persepolis.
