That doesn't have to be the reason to love a foreign film. there is crap cinema from every country. Also great cinema. You could just be a fan of Film as medium and appreciate both Hollywood, and Foreign films as I do.

I'm the same.  I think 'The Wrestler' might be my pick of the decade the more I think about it.  But I'm willing to defend Robert Downey Jr's entire oeuvre against any foreign shit - and I've seen some foreign shit.

[The Brain]

Foreign movies suck.

Up-
Blimey.
I'd heard it was good but I was expecting a little silly kids film (not necessarily a bad thing mind you). Its awesome though. Sad bits and funny bits.
Is it just me though or does the main bloke's wife look just like Mrs Incredible...

Star Trek.  Wonderful fun.

Could have been her.  In lieu of a sequel.

Everything is Illuminated- What a weird film.
Starts as a light comedy but turns into a drama by the end with a guy killing himself :s
American Jew travels to the Ukraine to find the village where his grandad originated from. Translating for him is a odd looking Ukrainian with a funny grasp of English (lead singer from Gogol Bordello), he says things like 'My name is Alexander but my friends call me Alex because it is more flacid in the mouth'.
When it gets a bit serious its all left up to you to figure out just what is up and I've no clue on the details still.
Quite good though

Is this the one with Elijah Wood? I think I caught a bit of it on HBO once and it weirded me out. The guy reminded me of BB.

Elijah Wood reminds you of me?

I watched some Swedish vampire movie with my wife.  It's shocking how inferior the Swedish people of the 80s were.  No wonder they're the stunted race that they are today.

One of the best movies of the decade.  Let the Right One In.

I wouldn't go that far.  Then again, I don't hate my own people the way that you do.

Sure you do, the reason you go on with this non sense about ethnic albertans schtick.

I don't know.  I don't gush over foreign shit because it is free of the taint of the Great Western Culture.

Yeah, but you don't hate yourself the way Spellus does.  Or maybe you do, but you do so in a different way.  Going to school in a black neighborhood taught Spellus that he should be ashamed of what he was, and what his people have made.

Watching some Canuck show calld Being Erica.  This loser redhead's therapist sends her to pivotal moments in her life that she believes she can fix.  Usually ends up fucking it up and winding up almost as miserable as she was before. 

Pivotal moment 1: Going back to her prom or something because she wanted to fuck this guy in his car.  A 30 something almost raping this high school guy is pure win until her emotional breakdown with her head in his lap.

Avatar in 3D.

The clichéed, predictable story of noble savages who lead an idealized life in harmony with nature and overcome the threat of the eveil colonials. As usual, the savages are saved by an outsider from  the white people, who adopts their ways and becomes the best of them.

Still, very entertaining movie thanks to its visuals of cool future tech and a rather beautiful planet and scantily clad native chicks. The 3D effect was great in some scenes, blurry in others, and after the movie I felt like having spent the whole day in front of an old 14" monitor with 48 Hz. One of our group had seen the movie before in a different theater and said the 3D was better there, so it may have been the fault of the location. Also, wearing 3D glasses over regular ones is a bit annoying.

I don't feel the need to rush out to watch it again right away, though, and rather wait for Alice in Wonderland for my next 3D experience.

Wait, she's physically going back in time? When I read the first paragraph I was envision more a Quantum Leap type of mechanism with her being limited to her younger self.

Is there a university in Smallville? Cause I'm fairly certain Clark was already in high school when it started.
