Thanks for the wishes, happy new year to you too.
"Let the right one in" is almost on the top of my list ..i watched way too many films in theatre last year and i believe that 09 was a good year (compared to other years that is). If you ever have the chance check out this one
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1379182/
It's not very often that i suggest a greek film to anyone but this one was great imo (and it topped my list)
I'll have to check tetro i guess

Oh i missed your b-day. Happy be-lated b-day then. I hope you had a great one (woth lots of films etc).
I watched District 9 yesterday. wow it was good

Happy Birthday Mark

Have you seen the new swedish film "Let the right one in"? Watched it last night and i am very excited about it

I watched the antichrist last night at the theater..very interesting film (i like the way it was directed - very Lynch like ). I generally don't like Trier (although i have yet to watch kingdom hospital and breaking the waves)..but this one was nice (it'd be much better with less sex scenes though..not that i am a prude or anything but i think one or two were enough to make his point). I know that you have seen the film (but i don't remember if you liked it or not, so did you?)

I hope he was inspired in a possitive way..anyway the reason i watched the film was the palm d'or it received at cannes festival..it wasn't a bad film per se..but i think it was a pretentious one..such a very important issue (juvenile violence) and i got the feeling that the film had nothing valid to say about it (ok the portrayal was good and everything but how about the reasons). I wasn't expecting a second bowling for columbine but but..

Hey have you watched "Elephant"? Ok it is good but i didn't much like what that guy (Gus Van Sant) did with the camera..Gus Van Sade ok i guess i am not a big fan

I just want to say that you have a great taste in films . I can't believe that someone knows who Bela Tarr is. I know I've been ranting about it on the Favorite Films thread, but his work is too underrated.

Weird? How weird? Ok i will..(you always make good suggestions by the way).

Yeah i've noticed the Bela Tarr movies you've seen in the movie thread..i've heard of him but never seen a film. I had to google Maddin. Never heard of him and his movie titles don't ring any bells. Are they good?
