Yes it is really good.

A great British Commonwealth cast too: Canadians Christopher Plummer, Donald Sutherland, Genevive Bujold and director Bob Clark (of Porky's, A Christmas Story and Black Christmas fame); and some great English actors like James Mason, David Hemmings (his film Blow-Up is one of the best from the 60's), Anthony Quale and John Geilgud.

A clever idea to tie-in Sherlock Holmes into the Ripper mythology.

After reading and talking about Holmes in my class, i'm really wanting to be sherlock holmes now.  He has such a cool persona!

Aside from his self-imposed isolationist mentality, general arrogance, introverted personality and terrible drug addictions  ;)

I love Holmes and Watson too. I like the old Basil Rathbone movies and the updated BBC series with Jeremy Brett - by far, the best Holmes features ever produced.

A Very Long Engagement, Les Triplettes de Belleville, Junebug, Goodnight and Goodluck
& Superman.

Finally saw Lost In Translation. I did some yawning, but it was definitely better than Broken Flowers.

I watched Old Boy last night. I loved it! Tonight I'm planning on watching Kung Fu Hustle and maybe a western like Hondo or The Tin Star... maybe even Winchester 73.

i just watched a movie called "Wolf Creek". a crazy  disturbing movie about 2 20 somehtings going across australia to hit up a huge huge annual party. then everyhting goes wrong. i like the 45 mins plus of character development at the beginning. after that though, all  hell breaks loose. good movie, check it out.

 but im seriously warning you, theres a few scenes that are disturbing as hell. i actually had nightmares, 3 of them, in one night after this flick.

The Squid & The Whale. Best film I've seen in ages.
Excellent script & the whole cast shined, especially Jeff Daniels, Owen Kline & (who'd have thought?) William Baldwin!
"Fuck joint custody!" ;D

The Assassination Of Richard Nixon - A sad, uncomfortable & difficult movie. Worth watching for the excellent Sean Penn but definitely not for everyone.
Kikujiro - 'Beat' Takeshi at his most playful.
God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

I've watched Elizabethtown and A History of Violence last weekend.
I was completely happy when I saw MMJ as Ruckus in it. (I did know that they should be in it, but I didn't know when) Because oh rhis I sat and looked for MMJ the whole time and I think I forgot to follow the story sometimes. Ooops, But I really enjoyed it anyway. Actually, I LOVE IT!!! And that MMJ are in it and there are also two Ryan Adams songs in it just made my coming days and I think it now will go very easily for me to study as fuck this entire week.

A History of Violence I don't know what to tell about, I just recommend you to see it, if you haven't already. Because if you don't see it you won't understand how good it is. And it actually made me change opinion about Viggo Mortensen. I didn't like him before this film, but I certainly do now because he made this movie.

Not to mention that Viggo's character in A History Of Violence would kick Aragorn's ass in a fight.

It's really slow-moving. It takes patience for sure, but the second half is a great reward. I liked the film on many levels, from the non-hollywood and pretty interesting and explicit portrayals of sex in marriage to the even more explict representations of violence - and the one scene where they merged togther.

I found the movie extremely Canadian too. It was distracting.

it wasn't that for me.  vigo drove me crazy.  i thought the dialogue was terrible and there has been huge debate as to whether or not that was intentional or not.  and i don't even care, because either way, it drove me crazy.  it felt pushed and false.

i thought mr.  hutt was great.  that's about it.   :-/
