I Just Watched (Jan 19 - Feb 14)

1. Manufacturing Dissent (2007) Interesting doc dissecting the work and backround of director Michael Moore.
2. Red Road (2006) Not very interesting thriller made in Scotland.
3. The Treatment (2006) American romantic comedy. NMCOT (see KEY )
4. White Rainbow (2005)
Another film about the Indian "City of Widows', Vrindavan, where many Hindu widows of all ages go to live.
5. Girl 27 (2007) Great doc about a Hollywood scandal in 1937 when an underage dancer was raped at an MGM stag party.
6. Earth (1998) Dissapointing movie by Deepa Mehta, the director of 'Water', showing some of the events of the civil war between Pakistan & India in 1947 thru the eyes of a young girl. I stopped watching halfway thru.
7. The Method (2005) FAH ! (see KEY) A group of candidates are competing for the same executive position in a large firm in Madrid, Spain. Set pretty much in one room. Check it out.
8. Slings & Arrows (season 2) Canadian tv series , LOVE it!!!!
9. Hunger ((1966) I recommend this unusual Danish drama, set in 1890's Norway. Looks into the life of a starving writer who won't accept charity. NWIE (see KEY)
10. Pierrepoint (2005) He was one of Britain's most notorious executioners. This film is based on the real events and life of a man who was working as an executioner for the gov't while living a public life as a grocery deliverman. Highly recommend.
11. Read My Lips (2001) French thriller. Good character study with lots of cool plot surprises.
12.Interview (2006) I usually like anything with Steve Buscemi but this....GMAB (see KEY).
13. Big Love (season 2) Fun HBO series about Mormon polygamists.
