Movie talk 27

It has been a very long summer and a very hard time. But we did manage watch some films besides a trip to China.

The counterfeiters (Stefan Ruzowitzky) 7
Best foreign film of 2007 oscar - although I don't give any credit to oscar but it is probably among one of the worst best foreign films

Climates (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) 7
Technically it is good - but I still think Nuri is an over-acclaimed director. I am not crazy his famous [distant] either. Waiting to see his [Three monkeys]next week

Renegrade (Jan Kounen) 5
Sorry I forgot why I picked this film.

Crusing (Williams Friedkin) 8
Since when the New York has changed so much; especially its gay ideology. I never liked New York Gay Culture but the film is original, interesting and very well made

District 9 (Neill Blomkamp) 8
Brilliant movie. Sharp and original

71 fragments of a chronology of chance (Michael Haneke)
I like Michael's work, from his [Piano teacher] , [Cache] and [Funny games], all brilliant. But I couldn't finish this film - could be many reasons but I am looking forward to finishing up this one later and his new movie [The white ribbon]

An affair of love (Frederic Fonteyne) 7
Interesting idea and that is pretty much it

Brothers (Jim Sheridan) 7
Nothing to say about this movie - quite mediocre

The kids are all right (Lisa Cholodenko) 7
It IS a funny movie
