I remember going to a few small theaters in NYC, watching a 1950s French film. Pretty fun. I might go to school in Minneapolis next year, and they have some good theaters. Definitely a plus. |

I'll be starting grad school in the fall and one of the places I want to go to most is the University of Minnesota. So we might both be in Minneapolis next year. ^_^ |

I've got it on my instant queue, but geez, the time committment is (in the parlance of an inside joke of mine) too much daunting.

I'm thinking I can pull it off on Friday. If not, definitely Sunday, since there are no games. |

I'm not sure how another film could beat out Japan's Still Walking for the best foreign language film Oscar. It is in the top 5 movies I've seen for the 2009 year. It is like Rachael Getting Married in that it deals with a family interacting in a single home for the whole picture, only Still Walking has nothing to do with a wedding or addiction and everything to do with the deceased sibling.

Das weiße Band
Der Untergang Revanche Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas just a few I have recently viewed. I would consider all of them stunning films. |

Saw Up in the Air last night.
How many St. Louisans recognized many of the areas where they shot? I didn't realize until after reading the Wiki article on the film that they did so much filming around St. Louis. I stayed at the Renaissance Grand last April, they shot scenes there, and didn't even recognize it.

Just watched this and it was hilarious. One of the rare movies that had me cracking up consistently throughout.

Watched the animated movie 9 last night (BTW -- it is unfortunate that 2009 saw the wide release of films with the titles District 9, Nine and 9). It was pretty mediocre stuff, though fairly cute and fun. It felt like a late 90's videogame in that the movie was all 1.) exploration, 2.) boss battle, 3.) learn some story about the past and such 4.) repeat.
