Thanks, I'll have a look. never heard of it before, either.

My nominations for fabbo gems:
Black Snake Moan - I can't believe I liked it so much. Christina Ricci and Samuel L Jackson. And Justin Timberlake!! Apparently he can sing but god! he can definitely act.
Dean Spanley - an excellnt gem, Peter O'Toole, Sam Neal, Bryan Brown doing a fantastic ensamble piece. A small, fully formed gem, polished to perfection.

I'm over the every movie or book has to make me think. And yes I like a lot of the mainstream movies. Let's face it a lot of directors (and editors) are pretty clever people.

Freeway sounds very interesting. Going to check it out.

Two favourites are
Harold and Maude....one of the few love stories I can stand. Funny and Black. Interesting also for the almost complete disappearence of Bud Cort from the silver screen after this movie. "If you want to be me be me, and if you want to be you be you....."


Kikujiro....a grown man dragged kicking and screaming into maturity with the help of a young boy and a journey...one of my favourite Japanese actors Beat Takeshi. Great tale.


Benjamin Button...enjoyed it and loved the concept even with some of the logical holes in this fantasy.

Imagine being 50-60 y.o with the hoped for wisdom that come with that age but having the body of a 30-20 y.o. to go and see the world. Wow!
Only partly understandable decision to leave his child...wrong one in my opinion to do it so early.
And the clash of the imagery where she holds a fresh beautiful baby that peacefully passes away from dementia and old age. Very touching, conflicting.

One of those scenes that Tarentino smacked me in the forehead with in Resevoir Dogs....with the radio song, dancing and torture all happening at the same time. Disturbed/laughing, disturbed/laughing..I'm tormented. This movie changed my appreciation of film and what I considered great movies.
