One of, if not, my favourite film. I watch it at least once a year.

Just watched Fantastic MR. Fox. So good. I do not watch kiddie movies very often, and I may only watch Wes Anderson ones from now on. So many levels of awesomeness. Bill Murray, Jason schwartzman, Owen W., Maryl f'n streep, G. Clooney. GEENNIOUss

Stranger than Paradise. Again, if you like Jim Jarmusch, you'll like this. It was similiar to Down By Law. This one is maybe my new favorite Jarmusch film, but Ghost Dog is hard to beat.

Whiteout, kate beckinsale (hot) is a US Marshall trying to solve a murder mystery at the South Pole. Dumber than it sounds.

Black Dynamite, excellent film, poignant portrayal of race relations... against the backdrop of the Nixon administration, addresses some of the bigger social issues of the late 60's and early 70's and gives a frame of reference for some of todays headlines.

Precious.

Great film.
Well done.

And like going to LA, it left me feeling the fate of this world and it's people is sealed and irreversible.

It's a matter of when, not if.

Not sure why you would say something like that......

Up in the Air - liked it a lot, clooney does well and has hotties Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga
Observe and Report - strange, but good, and original
District 9 - good movie, very original, funny in a weird way
Click - bad, stupid, don't bother
Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy - well done, tough life (sarcasm)
Small Town Gay Bar - good documentary
Second Thoughts: Surfing - lame, self indulgent and immature
Peel: The Peru Project - really well done, good surf movie, liked it, interesting too
Choke - really liked it
Vicky, Christina, Barcelona - had some redeeming qualities but typical annoying woody allen stuff too, terrible voice over almost ruined it completely
Save the Seagulls.
