1. Joy (05): Lovely film set in Tel Aviv about a heavy young woman , her family and some of the issues they come to terms with . Uplifting and lots of fun. WWW (see Key)
2. Pack of Lies (1978): Loved this British thriller starring Ellen Burstyn, Alan Bates and Teri Garr. NWIE,EOS,WWW
3. Tickets (05): 3 stories by 3 directors that take place on a train ride in Europe. OKBNG, CFE
4. Tattoed Flower Vase (1976): Strange, erotic, 'pink' film from Japan. NMCOT
5. The Man From Earth (07): Dissapointing sci fi scripted by Jerome Bixby of Star Trek and Twilight Zone fame. Maybe a better director would have done the script justice.
6. Angel-A (07): French director Luc Bresson of 'La Femme Nikita' fame. Slick and uniquely filmed in blk & wht. Loved the 2 main characters but the story itself is not so good. Still worth watching in spite as the shots of Paris are truly stunning! (I think it would be better with the sound off.)
7. Demonlover (02): Another slick (but not as good) French film . A thriller, about website horrors. I got hooked into it. ( But remember, I liked 'Feed' ..) Ultimately disturbing. Unfortunately I can't get the final scene out of my head. NECOT
8. Adam's apple (05): Very odd but ultimately endearing black comedy about a Utopian clergyman starring a whole lot of my favorite Danish actors. Worth it just to see them!
9. Punish Me (05): German. We were totally into this movie. However, my guess is it's NECOT. About a middle aged parole officer and her 16 yr old charge. Wow wow and wow. WWW, EOS, LLI, WBTIE.
10. F**K (06):DOC that S**ked.
11. Inside North Korea (06): National Geographic DOC. About the JSA, the people etc. The truth is more horrible than I would have ever known. BMM, LLI. Must see.
12. The Boss of it All (06): Danish. Sardonic comedy about a corporation headed by a ficticious CEO. Light and not at all bad.
13. Curb Your Enthusiasm (06): I loved the first 5 years of this HBO series, but this season has a few clunkers. Still, Larry David is just a kick to watch.
14. Blind Beast (1969): Now here is a cult classic! Yasuzo Masumura ('Giants and Toys') has created an erotic , chilling masterpiece in this blck & wht wonder. WWW, LLI, NECOT
