In Oslo we have a central building with Swastikas in an iron gate. Of course, the building was finished in the thirties, back when a Swastika still only had its old Hindu meaning: A sun symbol. The building was & is the head office of the Oslo Electric Light Company (Oslo Lysverker, Oslo "Lightworks"). Since electricity provides light, its rather fitting. Of course, ever so often an ahistoric person writes an incensed letter to a paper calling for the removal of these "nazi" symbols…
Cloverfield (2008; Holy crap, this was good. Would be a great double-header with The Host.); Communion (1989; Didn't work for me. Walken an odd choice, and it was more humorous than tense.); The 400 Blows (Criterion Spine #4) (1959; Truffaut's first feature; I'm looking forward to the Antoine Doinel followups.); Silent Rage (1982; Great beginning and Norris-appreciation, but slow and meandering ending.); Dakota Bound (2001; An actual plot, good cheesy action scenes, and lesbians. Amazingly good.);
