The book is excellent and I highly recommend it! His new book is equally as great as well.

The movie (The Kite Runner) is, as to be expected, a little different than the book. I read the book first, then watched the movie, so I was, of course, critical of the differences. Still, it is a good movie! I recommend this movie, and both books to everyone!

Spirit of the Beehive 10/10

Reminded me of Saura's movies. Never seen any other film as accurate as this one in its depiction of childhood.

So glad you liked it!! :D It's one of my favourite films!! The cast was brilliant, apart from the 3 you mentioned (Norton is almost always great anyway) the rest were pretty good as well...names...oh! Brian Cox, Anna Paquin and Rosario Dawson.

I should watch again, haven't seen it in a while.

Serenity - 9/10. I'm only giving it nine because I don't know why they killed off the people they killed off.

LOOOOOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I just watched it not that long ago again. I felt it was Spike Lee's best until I saw "Inside Man". Have you seen that yet?

By the way, you gotta love Norton! ;)

Smokin' aces (2006)

Was a bit confusing at the begging, but ended up being ok. Slightly crazy characters! 7.5/10

The Sacrifice 10/10

This was like Tarkovsky directed a film written by Bergman. It's slow and challenging, definately not for everyone, but beautiful and full of haunting scenes.

Oh, I can't imagine that combination, they are both slow enough on their own. :lol: ;) Tarkovsky does create some beautiful images though, I may have to give it a try.

As usual, I saw a couple movies this weekend, the first was 2046 directed by Kar Wai Wong. It's a sequel of sorts to his movie In The Mood for Love which I loved so I was already predisposed to like it and I did. It was a bit surreal at times but very haunting and the acting was tremendous.

The other movie was You I Love, a Russian film directed by Olga Stolpovskaja. It wasn't a bad film, interesting topic, capable actors but the ending was a little disappointing, it felt like they turned this edgy film into a feel good movie with everything all tied up and everyone happy. It just didn't work with the rest of the movie.

No Country for Old Men

I have not read the book so I do not know if the movie is a faithful adaptation but anyway, in my opinion, it was very well made. The actors played their roles very convincingly. Especially Javier Bardem. I've never encountered a more frightening character than his role of Anton the psychopath! Really really gave me the creeps! The downside of the movie for me was the violence, I think there was just a tad too much of it.

I own that film, along with Stalker but i haven't watched them yet.

"The french connection" 8/10
"Rainman" 9/10
"Ein Lied fuer Argyris" 10/10. A documentary film for the Distomo massacre performed during WW2 in the village of Distomo in greece. Breathtaking.
"The green mile" 9/10.

Just saw that Friday night,and I loved it.

Chigurh was one of the most believable and chilling villians I've seen in cinema.I do understand why some people would be upset with the ending,but Brolin,Bardem,and Tommy Lee Jones more than make up for it.

9/10

manolia, I have seen three of those - "The French Connection", "Rainman", years ago and recently I finally watched "The Green Mile". I think your rating is right on. I truly liked that film - the acting was great. Unfortunately, I have not seen the other film. It sounds very good. I will have to look out for it. Would it have an English title, do you know? What does it mean?
