The Band’s Visit. Fabulous.
Brazil. La la, dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dah …
Burn after Reading Okay, hilarious. Who else could make you laugh about someone getting attacked with an axe?
Casablanca
El Crimen Ferpecto Ugh.
The Darjeeling Limited
Grindhouse. Good lord.
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark I could barely keep my eyes open —
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Similarly.
Juno
Machuca Highly recommended.
Man on the Moon K’s new obsession.
Manolito Gafotas Very sweet. Impossible to follow the Spanish. Also hard to know exactly what’s going on. I think I’ll watch it again. It’s very sweet.
Music and lyrics. Ay dios mio.
No Country for Old men
Notes on a Scandal
Ojos que no ven. Really good, actually. Kind of a Peruvian Crash.
Pulp Fiction. N loves this movie. Hmmm.
Rushmore
Seres queridos
Sex and the City. Well, I’d heard it was awful, so then it wasn’t.
Smart People. I actually liked this, and I really like Ellen page. I don’t know — I like movies about smart people, rather than people who are proud to be idiots. Just occasionally.
Then She Found Me. Not so great, I’m afraid. A rather confused and muddy movie, to quote someone’s comment about a rose. Mmm.
Tinta roja. Peru again.
Transformers
Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Marvellous
