movies

I somehow promised someone to make a list of movies I have seen in this autumn. So now is time for it. (Time to write, nothing else to do!).

Most memorable movies have been in the festivals, mainly in Arsenals and Baltijas Perle. Some of the movies have been really crappy and some are ok.

But here they are:

Dead man by Jim Jarmuch
was the one of the best movies I've seen while staying here. Johnny Depp in the main role and the somehow warmness of the directing style of Jarmuch. Goes to my top 10 whenever.

Wristcutters - A love story by Goran Dukic
second movie which I can recommend to all the people. Desires of dying and Tom Waits as a strange "angel" guy ;) Also getting almost a place to my top 10.

Tumzie Briezi by Viesturs Kairiss
this movie stays in my head, not because it was good, but more because it was really STRANGE and almost meaningless. Story is about girl who wants to save their deer farms deers by not getting hunters food. Underlining here goes still to family matters, reaaally strange things.

Open Forest by Jill Culton & Roger Allers
Funny and sweet movie for kids. And me. And couple of other people. Bear going back to home, woods.

Perfume - The Story of a Murderer by Tom Tykwer
What french people can invent than a crazy murderer, which looks cute and kills for the scent of a woman. Somehow I liked the movie, because of the 1700-century athmosphere?

Children of Men by Alfonso Cuarón

I was waiting more from this. Cuarón as a director has been one of my favourites, but somehow this movie has partly only one leg. I waited a bit more for the background for this situation, and you see: all the plot is told in the trailer. What kind of thing this is?

Little Miss Sunshine by Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris

Sweet and warm and what else! Full of good mood in this movie. I was smailing half a week after it. But, where is Olive?

Grudge II by Takashi Shimizu

Horror? When youre same time with the kids, yep ;) Same as the first one, but this time I was alone.

The Da Vinci Code by Ron Howard

This was a last time choice to watch a film with Gavin. Entertaining, nothing else.

Ohh, I continue the list afterwise, good conversation with Raimis today. :)
