Yes, agree, but it was so depressing... Did you see 21 Grams?
Have you seen the equally joyless, but superior (IMO), Amorres Perros?... I have not...

A couple of nights ago, Gone Bayby, Gone -- GREAT! One of the best movies of last year.
I think tonight I am going to re-watch Pan's Labyrinth -- that IS my favorite movie of two years ago. Alternatively, depending upon my mood, I'll watch that movie with Krisetn Bell and Russell Brand that Apatow produced, if it is already on DVD.
P.S. W+A, while I like Babel I thought it was easily the least of the "Three Amigos'" movies that year. I'f you've not seen Children of Men or, even better, Pan's Labyrinth, get on it. Astounding films, especially the latter.

I felt it was good, and everyone acted well. But it wasn't anywhere near a masterpiece. There have been at least 5 Scorsese movies I've liked more, as well as several movies released that year that I liked more. Deffinitely worth seeing, but not excellent by any means, imo.

Agreed Gone Baby Gone and Pan's Labyrinth are two great movies, I been hyping up Pan's ever since I watch it.

We just saw it this morning, and enjoyed it greatly.
KSC02, required to see soon. Excellent shots of Spain, lots of wine drinking, LOTS of serious Expressionist Art, wonderful Spanish guitar, AND beautiful women staring in the movie!
I can not wait until next Spring.

Not to mention Scarlett Johannson. Props to fellow hab Ryan Reynolds, Scarjo is one hell of an upgrade from Alanis Morissette.quote:Originally posted by KSC02:quote:Originally posted by wine+art:

I liked King of California, but I was shocked at how skinny and wasted Michael Douglas looked in it. I hope he just did that for the role.

Saw "The Band's Visit" --
Story about an Egyptian police band lost in Israel.
Largely in English, but when it switches to Hebrew or Arabic there are subtitles, of course.
A wonderful movie....sentimental, funny, warm, clever. All wrapped into 90 minutes or so.
Netflix.
I recommend this.

You must follow up, of course, with the Road Warrior.
This is still one of my favorite action movies ever. It just flows so well.
And the stunts are amazing.

Movie called "The Arranged." An Orthodox Jewish woman teacher and a Moslem women teacher work at the same school and become friends and share many common experiences as they both wrestle with their parents' cultural desire for them to be the bride in an arranged marriage. 90 minutes.
(no sex, no one is knifed or shot, and there is no profanity)
A very nice movie. Netflix.
