Movies

This is what I've seen in the last 6 months or so...

Who Killed the Electric Car? - Interesting
The Last Hangman - Amazing British movie...
Kung Fu Panda - We are getting spoiled by these 3d animations, aren't we?
Mamma Mia - I have seen better musicals...
Fireflies in the Garden - Patient viewers will be rewarded with great acting and realistic storyline.
The Visitor - A lovely movie that puts a human face to the whole imigratioin issue. Must see!
Burn after reading - About stupid people! Great performance by Brad Pitt! wink
Blindness - Really really good atmoshpere. Almost like in Children of men, but in a way - better. I'm reading the book now. wink
Man on Wire - Beautiful documentary on a man who followed his crazy dream!
Revolutionary Road - This ain't no Titanic...
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - This one will give you nightmares. In a way I regret watching it. And it is too damn long... Two and a half hours???
City of Ember - Cool. Reminds me on Logan's run, but this one is a lot more watchable (especially for kids). I kinda liked it. It's simple and honest.
W. - Not bad! Not bad at all! It is a quite decent film not a mockery.
12 - A Russian masterpiece.
Ballet Shoes - Charming little British flick... Happy ending and all that... It will serve you well if you had a hard day and you're not in the mood for anything more demanding.
Bin-jip - This movie could hardly be any more beautiful. Very asian, very contemplative...
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa - A lot of fun! I must say I like the side characters ( penguin and monkey ) even better than the main ones. wink
The Fall - Very impressive scenography. Really really cool.
Grand Torino - Much has been said. It's simply a stunning movie.
Yes Man - Entertaining. Zooey Deschanel never looked cuter. wink

You Missed WALL.E?
It was a great flick.

I really loved the animation productions this season.
KungFu Panda, Madagascar, Wall.e

Wall.e was the best of the lot though.

Tomaž writes: Finally! I've been waiting for a new "movies" post for a long time now. I'm glad to see I've viewed almost half of your list. Especially liked Eastwood's Gran Torino. I've read somewhere that's the last movie he's starring in. I hope he's just kiddin'. Hint: Google for O'Horten. I fell in love with it immediately after seeing the trailer on Apple site.

I usually keep "Movies" as a private post untill I think there are enough collected or for the times I have a writter's block...
I'll check O'Horten.
