"The Invention of Lying": 8/10 Kitkats.
Rather entertaining movie with an interesting theme (a world where nobody lies) and many famous names making appearances made this a worthwhile viewing for me.

Breach - 7/10
Got this DVD from the library. It's based on the Robert Hanssen security breach and is a pretty interesting look at the inner workings of the FBI.
The Interpreter gets a solid 9.5/10 from me; it's about three of my favorite things: violence in Africa, interpreters and the UN.
:rolleyes: Yep even with that shirtless, crime-solving cutie at the lead. It's hard to make crap cute. ;)Quote:

Beware of a Holy Whore directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. An easy 10/10!
That's the best kind of propaganda. :DQuote:

My Dinner With Andre - Undoubtedly one of the best films of the 80's. Independent and experimental filmmaking at the highest and most simple order. A two-hour conversation between two men; one being one of the most fascinating you could ever meet, another, an uncanny reflection of yourself. It's simply that. Two men have a conversation at a restaurant concerning the the theater, modern mysticism and the nature of life and death throughout the length of a two hour movie. It is an amazing achievement in its ability to not only hold our attention, but to actually put us into the conversation. My mind usually tends to wander off, even during great movies to even important things, such as the quality of the directing, the acting, the script. But with this film I was totally enveloped into it. It is minimalist filmmaking at its very best for it is able to flash back and forth between two talking-heads for two-hours and have us utterly entranced.
I haven't even gotten to the ideas described in the film, and my God there's so many of them and discussed so wonderfully and naturally, which do not exactly purpose to change your whole way of thinking about the world, but leave you moved in the way one would be when engaging in a long conversation with another person. It is utterly mesmerizing. Please, stop watching Transformers and take some time to think about your life and reality, this is an important film. 10/10
The new Sherlock Holmes. It was OK. I just couldn't get too interested. 3/10
Alice in Wonderland (not in 3-D) Visually very interesting, but all the characters seemed so vaccuous. The Red Queen played by Helena Bonham Carter was the only one that had some spunk. The White Queen played by Anne Hathaway was in a complete stupor most of the time. She seemed fascinated with her hand, probably wondering what it was dangling from her wrist. I cannot begin to explain why anyone would want her leading a nation.
And can anyone explain why Tim Burton added a scene where Alice's brother-in-law was being unfaithful to his wife by kissing another girl? What was the point of that?
The two characters I liked the most, and they were both animated were the Cheshire cat and the Caterpillar. I think Alan Rickman did the voices for both.
My rating 5/10
