hanah and her sisters
The Mist.
Any thoughts on this caper? I gotta say I thought it was thought-provoking, to say the least. Not that I agree with murder, *SPOILER ALERT, READ NO FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FLICK*, especially when the main character whom we percieve as being "good" does it. There's also those suicides from the soldiers.. morally ambiguous there if you ask me
I didn't like that wild insane lady barking Old Testament lines out of her mouth like she was some sort of prophet, which is completely ridiculous (she was just a nutter).
The movie itself has some pretty seriously cool action and CGI. Very entertaining, kept me on the edge of my seat for most of it, I found myself shouting out "Get the F*CK OUTTA THERE PEOPLE!" for most of it :p
I'll give it a 7,5/10. It has a slow start, and some underpar acting to start it off, but it gradually builds pace, and the overall flick deserves the rating. It's well put up.

Monster- Charlize Theron deservedly won the Oscar for her portrayal of a profoundly damaged hooker who becomes a serial killer. Amazing.
The Hoax- interesting "true story" of Clifford Irving's Howard Hughes biography hoax.
Richard Gere shows how such a preposterous fake could really happen- a lot of charm, a set of balls and the refusal to back down and viola!, you're rich.
The Lion in Winter- Catherine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole face off and shred each other and the British royal family. Classic Hollywood at it's best.
"I am the one who knocks."- Heisenberg
Latcho Drom - Tony Gatlif.
This movie, was for me, equal parts revelation and disappointment. Let me explain. The film seeks to trace the thread of migration taken by the Roma (gypsies), many centuries ago, from india, to egypt, romania, spain and other places. And how does it do this? Not in a boring documentary format (yes, that's right, the kind of films that only other filmmakers watch..but as a musical. And this is the movie's strength...the music is quite a revelation, and will offer something refreshing even to ears seasoned with "world" music fare.
The movie, in itself, is a total letdown...it looks great, the cinematography is colourful and expressive at times, and agree with me or not, these are exactly the things that make the movie fall many notches in my eyes. A cosmetic beauty, with all its attendant sugar-coatedness, comes across more powerfully than any sense of experiencing truth.
My suggestion: Forget the movie...listen to the music. if you're thinking, hey, then i can just get the soundtrack, well, go ahead. Fair enough!

Juno. And Ellen Page gave a truly refreshing performance,one of the best i've seen.She deserved an oscar IMO.
The only reason Ellen Page didn't get anything is because the person "Juno" in the movie "Juno" is actually also the person "Ellen Page" in the movie "Real Life".
