This weekend I saw:

The King's Speech - easily one of the best films I've ever seen
I Am Love (Italian) - stunning and rare
Rabbit Hole - raw, powerful, understated, beautiful
True Grit - funny, smart, Jeff Bridges is amazing

Jeff Bridges was a captivating Rooster Cogburn.

Recently saw:

Good German/Hungarian/British collaboration starring Viggo Mortensen where he plays a professor in literature shortly after Hitler came to power. The movie revolves around John Halder (the lit. prof and main character) and his Jewish friend Maurice, the progression of National Socialist Germany and each man's fate as a result.

The Secret In Their Eyes (El secreto de sus ojos) - an Argentine film about an agent named Benjamin Esposito. The movie revolves around the rape and murder of a young woman in the early days of Esposito's career. Once retired he decides to write a novel about the case which leads to some shocking revelations.

Overall both were extremely powerful films and I would highly recommend them.

FYI: for those who love films and are Amazon Prime Members, the site recently introduced a way to watch approximately 5000 films--for free. The link appears on the front page of the site, on the left column. Maybe this is ole news, but it's new to me

I just finished watching Show Me Love, which was quite wonderful (overall). The first twenty minutes were a bit dull, but the last hour and some odd minutes were lovely. I think it captured the essence of teenage life (in both dialogue and cinematography) of two lesbian girls. One other note: the film is Swedish, but English subtitles are provided. All-in-all, this film is a worthwhile investment of time

Odd question maybe, but anyone have a clue as to where I can find Track 29? An older film with Gary Oldman ( it may have been his first) and I belive Debra Winger. Have wanted to see it again and can't find it anywhere.

Thanks!

Well, there are a few VHS versions available via Amazon [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Track-29-VHS-Theresa-Russell/dp/6303247830/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300317376&sr=8-1"]here[/ame]. To be honest, if you want a DVD version, converters are fairly reasonable now--which is why bootleggers are generally selling both DVD and VHS. Otherwise, it's a waiting game to see if the production companies think it's a worthy investment to put it out on dvd...

BTW: I love Old Gary Oldman films--like Sid and Nancy

I love Gary Oldman so I had to go look this up. Holy WOW! I don't think I would have recognized him that young. Thanks for letting me know about it, will see where I can find it to watch it. Looks interesting.

Recently saw:

The Next Three Days with Russel Crowe. Pretty decent film, but some problems with it.

I found the beginning was kind of abrupt. I found it odd that it didn't show a trial at all following his wife's arrest, which is too bad because her conviction seemed far fetched. In a way it followed a Prison Break kind of idea, but didn't quite pull it off as well as the show did. The end was as abrupt and questionable as the beginning. Kind of pulled off the whole thing to smoothly. Decent action film, but hard to believe...and not the in the awesome Jason Bourne/James Bond kinda way lol

The Fighter - Another decent film, but nothing spectacular. The theme's been overdone in general since Rocky, even if this one (and some others preceding it) was semi-biographical. They also portrayed Micky's career kind of weird, imo, like they were really trying to turn it into a Rocky Balboa motif which didn't actually fit Micky's career/the fights they showed in the film.

In some ways it also reminds me of The Wrestler a few years ago (even though that one wasn't semi-biographical) in the way it played, the themes and even in it's reception. Don't know why either one got so much attention. Give me something like Ong-Bak or Rocky instead, anyday
