hotel rwanda
we have this from netflix. just haven't watched it yet.
update: i didn't want to watch this for a long time because i thought i'd be uber-depressed afterwards, and (shocking) i never felt like going there. finally, i ripped off the band-aid. it was depressing....but enlightening and a must see.

babel

i've heard it's good...and not as depressing as i was afraid it would be.

paris je t'aime
update: LOVE this flick!! perfect for a short attention span with 15 or so wonderful vignettes from various directors. it's pretty spot on when capturing that parisian "j'ne sais quoi".

michael moore is a bit too extreme and one-sided for my taste, but i think he does a good job exposing issues.
update: wow this is good. it's not as michael moore-y as his other documentaries. it's really freaking scary and sad. and makes me want to move back to france.

no country for old men

update: great movie! good acting. javier bardem is unbelievably creepy. i would recommend this to anyone, as long as you're not faint of heart.
Hotel Rowanda was brutal... I couldn't make it all the way through.
The Holiday was cheesy, but fun and cute.

i liked babel, but i didn't think it was so great that it was worthy of all the oscar talk last year (except for cinematography, where it didn't even get a nod).
love hotel rwanda. cheadle is amazing in it. should've won the oscar.

Hotel Rwanda made me cry. A lot. And feel outraged. Blood Diamond was surprisingly good and eye opening too. I'm a glutton for punishment. I really want to see Knocked Up!
Dont ask me why, but we have The Holiday downstairs. Very girlie, but you know what? Not that bad! And I love me some Jude Law!
#1 - You've gotta see it
#2 - Fun and funny but not stupid
#3 - Hope it is better than Ocean's 12
#4 - Heart wrencher
#5 - Watching the series again with the fam
#6 - Just ok, not worth the hype
#7 - the only one I haven't seen (except Ocean's 13 which isn't out yet). I HAVE NO LIFE...
Add - The original 12 Angry Men with Henry Fonda

#8, i really want to see this too. also (i had tickets but wasn't feeling well so i didn't go, now i have to wait for dvd in the fall) i want to see the helvetica film (http://www.helveticafilm.com/), yes it's about the font
The "Bourne Ultimatum" is THE best action movie I've ever seen. You really can't catch your breath from start to finish. My wife and I both loved it, and Matt Damon is perfect!
