If you have a chance to see this film, I highly recommend it. The dialogue can be a bit challenging, but you always understand the message conveyed. I predict Oscar noms for Ralph Fiennes (acting/directing), Brian Cox (supporting actor) and Vanessa Redgrave (supporting actress). Really superb acting.
(4.5/5)

Werner Herzog has become one of my favorite directors, and he doesn’t disappoint in this chilling and surprisingly even-handed documentary about a series of related, horrific crimes.

(4.5/5)
Drive (2011, Drama): 4/5 I really enjoyed the movie, mostly because of the aesthetic. It seemed obvious that the filmmakers were heavily influenced by the work of Michael Mann (Manhunter, To Live & Die in LA, Heat), which is a good thing in my opinion.
Just purchased this album, which will most certainly be on my Top 10 list at the end of the year.
The difference between you and I is that you likely view this as satire; I view this as a vitally important parenting how-to. Remember, JarJar killed grandma.
