And God Created Woman 3.5/4.0 - wow, i'm a B.B. fan now. the movie's nice, taking advantage of the widescreen.
Under the Volcano 3.0/4.0 - John Huston's adaptation. they made it as simple as possible. i'd do it otherwise. acting's fantastic though.

"Around the World with Orson Welles" -- unusual; unless you like to observe ordinary interviewing of ordinary people, a sort of creative documentary, you won't find much here. You may be bored out of your gourd. But you get OW's charm and genuine interest in average folks. If you don't need spectacle in films, but can appreciate detailed behavior and low-keyed conversation, you'll find something here if you have patience. You'll learn about bull fighting and test your conscience about that practice; count me out from attending.
Must rent his "F for Fake" which once saw and liked very much.
''Anthony Zimmer'', a french film. Rather good one. I figured out the catch in the middle of it. That Yvan Attal is great actor. Sophie Marceau is special.
Drillbit Taylor. 9/10, I thought it was really good. I would change minor things but it I enjoyed it a lot. I probably wouldn't have watched it though had someone else not picked it out. Glad I did.

"Feast of Love" with Greg Kinnear and Morgan Freeman, 9/10. It's about our search for love, not a new theme, certainly, but it was sweetly and movingly acted, and one cares about the characters.
"Gone, Baby, Gone," 9/10. Wow. Beautifully acted, well-directed, thought-provoking.

I saw "Get Smart" over the weekend. While it wasn't the best, there were a few parts that cracked me up. At one point I was taking a drink of water when something funny happened on screen and I sprayed it everywhere, drenching my boyfriend and myself. He laughed. *blush*
Anyhow, I'd say 8/10.

Weird. Not sure I liked it, I almost turned it off a couple of times. I guess it captures Dylan's character but if you know something about the man you're not going to be surprised by anything that happens, maybe slightly amused by a few allusions. It's well filmed and acted.
5/10

Fantastic.
Lilja 4-ever - 9/10
Donnie Darko - 9/10
Two of my favourite movies now!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
"In the Realms of the Unreal" 10/10
This was one of the most interesting and unique documentaries I've seen in quite a while. It tells the story of Henry Darger, a reclusive janitor who wrote a 15,000 page fantasy novel, a 6,000 page novel about a tornado, an autobiography, and who created hundreds of paintings. No one knew about his double life until his apartment was being cleared out after his death. The documentary lets his writings and paintings do most of the narration, shifting from his autobiography to scenes from his epic novel "The Story of the Vivian Girls".
This film is available to watch instantly on NetFlix if you have a membership.

OMG, Paul Newman was unbelievably FINE. He had the most perfect body. And even past the Paul-drooling, the film was fantastic. I want to live in the country in the South.
10/10
Watched this movie couple of weeks ago (it was on TV on one of those insomniac nights) and loved it. Unfortunately, I missed the beginning. Would like to watch it again sometime.
