Lee Just Watched (Feb 15th thru Feb 29th)

1. Zerophilia (05): Unamusing indep. about teen with gender issues. GMAB.
2. Once (06): Endearing story of young street musicians trying to make it and getting to know themselves, ( I thought I'd hate it...) set in contemporary Dublin, Ireland. Playing all their original music and its not bad! WBTIE.(way better than I expected)
3. The Invisible (07): Supernatural thriller, American, Not good at all.
4.13 Tzametti (07) thriller, Not good at all.
5. After Innocence (05): Powerhouse DOC exploring the lives of inocent people who were jailed for years and released after new dna evidence. Disturbing as hell. Highly recommend.
6. Shelf Life (06): FAH , tiny, odd, black humor, about a library, two young women and a guy who work there. If it sounds like YCOT (your cup of tea)! see it and find out what happens!
7. The Call of Cthulhu(05): Lord knows, couldn't pay attention long enuf to find out.
8. Intacto (01): Highly imperfect but intriguing supernatural thriller with Max Von Sydow playing a concentr. camp surv. who lives in a casino basement on a resort spanish Isle and trades, buys, and sells LUCK. I liked a lot of it and could not get myself to stop watching (no matterhow much i tried!) as I found the concept interesting.
9. The Typists (released in 02) 1 hour play, shot in one room with 2 characters. Played with enviable talent by real life married couple Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson. Very very good, LLI. About the passing of time in the lives of 2 coworkers in a mundane office job. (part of the Broadway Theatre Archives...)
10. Take My Eyes (05): French, unsatisfying film about a woman who leaves but is still in love with her abusive husband. Perhaps someone else might like it but NMCOT.
11. Cowboy Del Amor (05): FAH DOC about a Texan man who has made a living as a matchmaker, connecting American men and Mexican women. Well done in every way, and this guy is a kick!! NWIE, and WBTIE .
Check it out for sure.
12. Czech Dream (03): Thought provoking and highly entertaining DOC about the power of advertising. Two filmakers set up a huge fake ad campaign in the Czech Republic with amazing results!
13 . Broken English (07) Indep. Parker Posey vehicle, NMCOT, but not totally unpleasant.
