Revanche

A dark Austrian mystery that's well thought out. It never gets so crazy you stop believing it, but always stays weird enough to keep you hooked.

Client 9 - The Rise and Fall of Elliot Spitzer

'I will put a stake through your heart!' A GREAT movie that ends up just GOOD after it's dragged out for nearly 2 hours.

The Great Happiness Space

A strangely unraveling documentary about male 'hosts' in Japan. The subjects are frank and sincere to the camera (although not to each other). I was left feeling empty and alone, at which point I re-watched 'Up' to lift my spirits (just kidding Teddy).

A woman is accused of cheating on her husband in a small Iranian town, and then as promised, stoned to death. I couldn't help but feeling the story would be better handled as a play.
