Watchmen - great to see the novel get the proper treatment it deserves and I cannot wait to see the Ultimate Cut on DVD. Jackie Earle Haley deserves an best supporting actor nomination.
Inglourious Basterds - I think this may be Tarantino’s best movie. Every character/actor was first rate and the violent ending was 100% QT
Star Trek - finally a great Star Trek movie. I’ll be honest most of the movies had been garbage and it’s great to have a new one that does not re-hash actors from tired TV series. Simon Pegg was great as Scottie.
Funny People - caught this on demand and yes it was very good and funny in parts. Excellent stuff.
Up - excellent little movie and it was a total mistake we saw it and glad we did.
Where the Wild Things Are - perfect movie about innocence and top notch monster FX.
that is all that makes my list as I don’t see that many current movies.
Yeah I guess thats the thing about franchise movies. Some trekkies like me will hate it while mainstreamers will love it. The upcoming sherlock holmes seems to be the same deal. Purists cringe. The rest of the world rejoices.
I guess so. I thought the ST series was dull and the NG crew never really did it for me. They were very 1-D in my opinion. I like the fact they made a movie not using actors from current or recent shows. To be quite honest they’re not that good.
London River (Rachid Bouchareb)
Two older people, one a British woman, one an African man, the first a christian, the other a muslim, are loking for their children in the days after a terrorist attack. She is afraid her daughter was a victim, he is afraid his son was a perpetrator. Then they find out the two knew each other.
Defiance (Edward Zwick)
The question is often asked why the Jews didn’t fight back. Well, some did, this films shows them.
Zwick’s best film so far and Bond in 007+ form
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (Mark Herman)
If you think all has already been said about the holocaust, watch this movie
Verlengd weekend (Hans Herbots)
A Belgian comedy drama from 2005, but I only picked it up a few days ago.
Great film, try to find an English friendly copy
Run Man Run (Sergio Sollima)
It took me some forty years to get there. It was worth all the trouble
If someone made a “Favorite actors of Italy” thread you would also only mention actors seen (by you) while visiting Italy… That is, not necessarily Italians
Not that such a list couldn’t be interesting and the movie thread certainly could…

I like that one Søren that had me crack up early this morning.
