Re: Lars and the real Girl - Ryan Gosling is a good actor. He seems to do a good job picking which scripts he'll take. He'll eventually win an Oscar for something he does, I think.
He was very good in The Believer. |

Also very good in Half Nelson. Even though I'm torn over how much I actually liked the movie, his acting was undeniable.

Just got home from Burn After Reading.
Irish, we don't disagree often, but this is one we disagree on. I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I went in expecting dark comedy. Maybe that's the difference. |

I just watched Pan's Labyrinth again (a buddy's over who had never seen it).
I assume it's been discussed at some point in this thread, perhaps even by me, but if you haven't seen this movie, WATCH IT. One of the best movies ever made. |

I know that's not a huge description but I hate giving synopsis because I always feel like I'm giving away things. EDIT: Here's imdb's summary: In the early 1980s, the successful dramatist Georg Dreyman and his longtime companion Christa-Maria Sieland, a popular actress, are big intellectual stars in the socialist state, although they secretly don't always think loyal to the party line. One day, the Minister of Culture becomes interested in Christa, so the secret service agent Wiesler is instructed to observe and sound out the couple, but their life fascinates him more and more

Pan's Labyrinth is a fantastic movie, but I'm convinced that a lot of the dialogue would have sounded really stupid in english.

Another subtitled film that I liked is called, "Kontrol". It's about these guys that work in the Budapest subway system.
