I guess it should. All the surrounding countries have magnificent movies (and usually low budget). Tho in my experience, if I want to talk about Lebanon and the 21 surrounding Arabic countries, I don't think there is much (and that's since the creation of cinema). There are many short movies or documentaries, never a good feature film.

* I guess we can say Youssef Chahine is an exception, but I don't think a person is enough for more than a whole century of cinema.

I saw 'Y tu mama tambien' again. I like that the spanish chic is horny all the time. I know I know,best review ever! Anyone else see this? Thoughts?

Nice movie as I remember, tho I don't really know why.
Just cared for Gael Garcia Bernal in that movie, and it wasn't the best of Alfonso Cuaron.

I fucking hate America.

Sigur Rós - Heima

Beautiful. Memorable. Uplifting.

Can't find enough superlatives for this cinematic masterpiece. I guess it helped being a fan of Sigur Rós and having a long running infatuation with the country of Iceland, but I think I would have enjoyed it just as much if I didn't have this predisposition. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was amazing. If you aren't aware of the premise, it's basically documenting a tour of Iceland undertaken by Sigur Rós after finishing their World tour. They visited an array of isolated, remote and desolate locations to perform a free concert for these remote communities.

The film really caputured the spirit of the country, and the beauty and ethics which have influenced the music of Sigur Rós. They perform in a disused factory (affected by the decline in the fishing industry) and in a potential damming site for HEP and aluminium industry. This incorporates some of the burning issues involved with Icelandic politics, giving a brief insight into some of the contrasting attitudes of different communities. Along with this, the main selling point is obviously the beautiful and enchanting music, coupled with images of Iceland. It's amazing to see the sense of community in thie country, with whole families turning up ranging from grandparents to children, and everyone in between.

I was really moved by the beauty of this film. The end track is epic and a worthy ending for a stunning piece of cinema. I'm sure fans of cinema in general would enjoy this film, as well as fans of the band too. I'd definitely recommend it!

I have an urge to share this every time someone mentions Heima, but I almost cried at the end of Se Lest from pure joy...great stuff.

Just saw Donnie Darko. Had no idea it was about Halloween but it turned out to be a pretty appropriate pick.

I think it was pretty god, maybe a little overrated though cause some people had told me it was fantastic. I won't ruin the plot but I'll say it's very creepy and intriguing, not so much full blown horror but it will get under your skin. If you haven't seen it and are in the mood for a movie like it, I would suggest seeing it.

7.5/10

It's been a while since I had seen this and I was reminded how damn good it is. Effects are only part of the story as identity and acceptance is a major component of the film and it's handled intelligently.

The opening nightcrawler scene still looks bloody fantastic and it's continuation of character over effects is to be applauded.

I will admit to thinking this was a trashy B movie about crocodiles. Instead it's a low budget, low key but very well constructed true tale of 3 people stranded with only a croc for company in the swamps of Australia. Much better than I thought it would be.

A very intriguing premise of the public frustration of criminal injustice. However it collapses in on itself in the last half hour and loses focus and becomes a standard revenge movie. Was completely shocked to find a few scenes shot in my home town not 20 minutes walk away from my house!

Speaking of which, are you aware of this? YouTube - Harry Brown Trailer starring Michael Caine Geriatric Carter!!! No? hm..

How did you like the last one? I didn't think it was as good as the first two.
