(500) Days of Summer - 9/10
Bittersweet, quirky, funny, and a good soundtrack.
Manhattan - 8/10
This was much better than the time I watched it, half asleep. Beautifully shot and well written. I still couldn't make a connection with a lot of the characters though. This is probably one to stew over.

Well, thats why i gave the film 2.5 instead of 1.Zahveed wrote:To be fair, a lot of people were introduced to Lord of the Rings through Bakshi's film before Jackson's trilogy was released. There are a few intriguing scenes still, especially with the odd mix of traditional animation, rotoscoping, and silhouettes.dreaMaker wrote:The Lord of the Rings (Ralph Bakshi, 1978)
2.5/10
Well, that was very lousy, even if not compared to the Peter Jackson's trilogy.

Rudo y Cursi (2008) Carlos Cuaron 4/10
Tiresome and pointless.
Tyson (2008) James Toback 4/10
Genova (2009) Michael Winterbottom 4/10
Winterbottom is one of the most interesting English directors working today. Every film is a completely different journey. Unfortunately this one, beautifully filmed, leads to a dead-end.
Kit Kittredge An American Girl (2008) Patricia Rozema 7/10
Charming film and nothing like anything the Rozema has directed before. I was surprised to learn that the film's budget was only 10 million dollars. Gorgeous production design, costumes and photography with delicious acting by all and some clever story telling. It's a shame that this film appears to have been barely screened outside of the U.S.
Blind Loves (2008) Juraj Lehotsky 4/10
Wonderful Town (2007) Aditya Assarat 4/10

oh, i ve seen the very well translated version. And i love such movies! But this one i didn t likeOscarGuy wrote:drea...did you watch the correctly-subtitled version or the horrible-bad subtitled version. We had a discussion of this some time ago and as Magila can attest it really does make a difference in the appreciation of the work.

Your attesting would be applied to what you have seen of the mis-translation and the original translation and how much better the correct translation would have been...at least in what you saw.
