Just realised I posted in the wrong thread. I thought this was the one referring to the person you would like to watch the movie with; haven't watched "Mullholland Drive" since we discussed it Manolia...that was fun. I am not sure I even recall the plot now. Recently, I did notice on Hulu one can see episodes from "Twin Peaks". I guess that is in line for next viewing after Twilight Zone. Been watching a lot of stuff on there; but understand this site is only open to the US...a real pity. The site is amazing and free. Watched Hitchcock and Twilight Zone last night. Love those!
Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2003) 5/5
Slums of Beverly Hills (1998) 4/5
Unthinkable 9/10
The Book of Eli 9/10
I went to the cinema after many weeks ( I ussualy wander around blockbuster's art section) to watch Toy Story 3... wow! it was great and very emotional for people who watched the previous ones when they were kids, so... its kind of sad the kids of these generation wont get the full message.
I loved the recurring joke about Buzz losing his mind and everyone was like "again!?"
Match Point 8/10
anywhere but here 9/10
two weeks notice(really FUNNY!) 9/10
"Youth in Revolt"-Michael Cera is my Francois ! 9/10 pencil-thin mustaches
Come and See - The most haunting and painful anti-war film ever made. It makes Schindler's List look like a cartoon, and with none of the hope. A bleak and despairing film and one of the most painful cinematic experiences of my life. A masterpiece of realism and the terrifying surrealism that follows through the looking glass. Not for the weak-at-heart.
The House is Black - If there ever was a such thing as a cinematic poem or prayer, this life-affirming short film is it, which in its meager running length of 20 minutes was enough to move me more than almost every other film made in the past 100 years. This is not just a short Iranian documentary on leprosy.

Ace Ventura: Nature Calls - A piece of crap.
Surrogate 7/10
Shiver. It is a spanish horror film.
7/10
It had some plot holes, which makes me think that they may try to fill them up in a sequel. As things stand though the ending was less than great, and the plot itself seemed a bit random compared to the beginning of the film. :)
Still, Spanish horror cinema improves all of the time.
Das Weisse Band (I think English translation would be The White Ribbon), by Michael Haneke - 9/10.
It elaborates the sociological structure in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, and tries to track down the roots of evil which strucked the generation of children who are to become German soldiers in the WW II.
The ending is a little bit...hmm - unclarified? (I don't know if that is the right word); a bit like the X Files - all is clear, but still is not!
But it's interesting how little we know about the social life and upbringing of children in not so distant past.
Inception...20/10
Seriously, it was a great movie. Nolan really did a great job with this one.
