Turtles Can Fly (2004)
This is a stunning movie from Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi that depicts mainly Iraqi children during US invasion and the fall of Saddam Hussein. Highly recommended if you're into high-quality storytelling!

 Clap

saw this movie, too; "shocking" is the only adjective I can associate to discribe it.

Yep, shocking is an excellent word to describe it. Smile The fact that all of the children in the film are actual refugees, many of whom probably lived through similar (or even identical) situations, makes the story even more amazing. It's a shame this film went rather unnoticed by most people. Unhappy

Saw The Woman in Black...better than I expected, but expectations weren't all that high.  Really good acting for a horror flick.

I've been watching a bunch of old James Cagney films (White Heat, G-Men, City for Conquest, among others).

About to watch A Scanner Darkly.  Seen it before, but I recently read the book and am motivated to watch again

Shrink - a good movie starring Kevin Spacey; Robin Williams has a supporting, small role.

Oh God that ear scene. Fucking brilliant. I can't listen to Stuck In The Middle without being reminded of this movie.

All this talk of Reservoir Dogs, I just watched it

You gotta wonder whose bright idea it was to let Mr. Brown drive a car with a bullet in his brain

Pretty great movie, which is based on the memoirs of Ian Curtis wife Deborah. Sad and depressive stuff.

Continuing with my Cagney trend, I watched "Each Dawn I Die" last night.  I'm glad I chose that over watching the Leafs game Unhappy.

I recently finished all of Stanley Kubrick's films and watched the documentary Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures, which was excellent.  

His films that I'd give 9 or 10 out of 10 are Paths of Glory, Spartacus, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, and 2001 A Space Odyssey (his best IMHO), with Barry Lyndon, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut following close behind.  The only ones I didn't think were that great were Lolita, Killer's Kiss, and The Killing.  It's amazing that such a wide range of brilliant films, some complete opposites of others, could all come from one guy.
