"The other" 8/10
Very predictable yet very confusing. Terrific performances from the entire cast. Quote:
Ps. The scene where the russian woman is forcing the boy to say the name on the grave was sooooo "Turn of the screw".

I loved this very stylished Brit thriller from the 60's by the guy who directed FRIGHT and STRAIGHT ON TILL MORNING (not to mention The Italian Job). 2 psychos home invade the penthouse of a couple having an affair and turn they life upside down - the dialogue is like a weird absurdist play which recalls the interaction of the droogs in A Clockwork Orange and the acid mad men of Killer's Moon... |

- the wizards of waverly place ... ugh
- the other boleyn girl - wonderful costumes - dull otherwise - the full length - 'making of' feature on the Frighteners - directors cut. i remember when the Pioneer Special Edition Laserdisc of this was going for a few hundred $$$ i picked up the DVD for $14. one of the best making of docs ever. |

The Messenger (2009)
An incredibly powerful story of 2 military men assigned to the thankless job of notifying the next of kin of fallen soldiers. Amazing dialogue, ethical debates, and without a doubt some of the year's best performances (Woody Harrelson is already up for a Golden Globe for his role, and I wouldn't be surprised if he'll be up for the Oscar as well.). Recommended to anyone looking for an intense, character-driven drama. Fantastic film.
