Cache (Hidden)
Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche
Sony Pictures, 2006
Subtly excellent
+ MICHAEL HANEKE, OPUS 9
+ subtle and thought-provoking
This is a brilliant film--many of the scenes allude to a larger metaphor regarding French colonialism and colonialist attitudes, including the more obvious current western/non-western tensions. The director does not let the minority position off the hook either: the Arab son appears to deny what it ...

Brokeback Mountain (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

The acting is done so ...

Broken Flowers
Nicole Abisinio, Frances Conroy
Universal Studios, 2006
Beautiful.
+ Not your typical comedy
+ the past is gone, the future isn't here yet...
I am a big fan of Jarmusch and Bill Murray and when the two come together we see a great character named Don Johnston come to the screen. When auteur Jarmusch focuses on an actor he tends to give them the freedom they need to really bring a character to life. Like all of Jarmusch's films this one ...

I'll give it five stars..

Definitely ! It's about nine women, nine important moments, glimpses...This movie is very clever in a way that you don't especially see the end of every story, why ? Because it's about life, relationships or family...don't expect finals,it could be 12 minutes of your life, and it looks so ...

The Squid and the Whale (Special Edition)
Owen Kline, Jeff Daniels
Sony Pictures, 2006
Modern Classic!
+ Another American dramedy
+ At the Forefront of New American Cinema
I don't know how Laura Lindley does it but I can always count on her being in a great independent film. This one is wonderful though I still can't make sense of the ending. A couple divorce and the poor relationship between the couple and the boys disintegrate even further. This family wasn't ...

Capote
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener
Sony Pictures, 2006
Great movie
+ Intriguing and Difficult Character Study
+ Capote
In an age of movies that are loud, brash, violent and special FX laden I was so impressed to see a movie where I wanted to sit right up close to the TV to catch every word. They don't make any good thought provoking movies anymore but seeing this movie renewed my faith that there are still some ...
