I Just Watched (Jan 1 - Jan 18)

1. READ MY LIPS (2001) Good basic French thriller (CFE)
2. BURNT BY THE SUN (1994) Russian drama, couldn't sink my teeth into it at all.
3. RATCATCHER (1998) The effects of child poverty set inScotland during the 1970's garbage strike. OK but not great.
4. GOD GREW TIRED OF US (2006) Doc about theSudanese 'LostBoys' as they move from their refugee camp in Kenya to anew life is the USA. (LLI) Highly recommend!
5. UNKNOWN WHITE MALE (2005) Doc about a 30ish man from England who wakes up on NY subway with complete amnesia. Is it bullshit? Check it out, I found it interesting.
6. OCEAN'S ELEVEN (2001) not my thang.......
7. 300 (2007) Unbearable. But I have friends who's opinion I respect who liked it, so maybe I'm off on this one.
8. ROME (HBO series, season 2) Loved every second of it. (though historically inaccurate on many details..) As for Marc Antony, WOW. The characters are so well developed that for me they will have (LLI). Overall, just (FAH)!
9. HELVETICA (2007) Doc about "'the most popular FONT in the world"'. Flawed as a film but cool people interviewed and very interesting information. I'll never look at typeface in the same way again....
10. INLAND EMPIRE (2006) David Lynch's newest. 3 hours of not my thang......
11. STEEL TOES (2006) Neo-nazi skin head murderer goes head to head with his Jewish lawyer. Very flawed and preachy, but the kid was good.
12. THE KING (2005) William Hurt is a pastor who's past, in the form of a sociopathic son, comes to ruin him and his family. Pretty chilling actually!
13. THE NAMESAKE (2006) Story of a young guy from India, living in NY/NJ. Identity issues. Mediocre, some fun moments.
14. PLAQUES AND PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA ((2004) Doc narrated by John Waters about massive S. Cal. lake created in the desert by mistake a century ago. For a while it became a resort for the rich, now a neglected location, WAY off the beaten path. Unique community and quite a story!!!! Recommend watching.
