Hula Girls. Picked it up on a whim at the video store--turned out to be really good. Kind of arty--won a bunch of awards in Japan.

'Bout a depressed coal mining town in northern Japan in the 60s--someone gets the idea to open a "mini-Hawaii" up there to save the town, and the local girls start learning hula.

Really good. worth it.

The Graduate. What a classic!

Season 1 of Dexter. So far we're both enjoying it immensely. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed Six Feet Under.

Superbad.

I found redeeming qualities in it, but my wife despised it. I'd give it a thumbs up.

Shoot 'Em Up.

Absolutely hysterical. I wasn't even planning on paying attention while my husband watched it on the couch, but I ended up enjoying it immensely.

"Goya's Ghosts", it was awesome. And I'm going to watch "3:10 to Yuma" again since it's out on dvd now! Oh, and "American Gangster" was good, but the ending, well, you judge for yourself I'm not going to say anything about it...

Clerks II

It covers such a wide array of topics - from interspecies erotica to the joys of going ass-to-mouth to a vivid discussion of the homosexual undertones of "Lord of the Rings"...

Truly, a classic for the ages.

The Water Horse. Very cute!

Sweeny Todd. Abysmal. Even with Johnny Depp.

I am Legend. Better than I thought it would be. Glad I didn't see it in the theater, though.

No?!
I adored it!

Most recently Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth.
Beautiful, intense and surreal film set in Spain at the end of the civil war. It blurs the fantasy world of a young girl with the troubled times she is living through, so you are never quite sure what is her imagination and what is really happening. The fantasy creatures have a wonderful quality of otherness to them too - miles away from any cosy Muppet imaginings.

Two thumbs up.

Watched The Ring (US Version) with darlet#2 last night. I didn't find it very scary. But the mood and look was very well done.

Just watched "Juno". What a complete hoot. Ellen Page was brilliant. Complete tour de force.
