#39 - L'Auberge Espagnole  — 2 weeks ago

Great movie. I especially could relate to the opening arrival to Barcelona, as it was our trip last year all over again.

#38 - The Wire - Season 4  — 2 weeks ago

I’ve finished all four seasons of The Wire that are out on DVD, and now I’m left waiting for a year before I can watch the final season. This hopefully means more movies.

#37 - Manda Bala (Send a Bullet)  — 4 weeks ago


Documentary on the corruption within Brazil and the huge chasm between rich and poor. Focuses on the kidnapping of well-off for ransom.

#36 - Sid & Nancy  — 4 weeks ago

Ok…I’m not a Sex Pistols fan so this movie probably didn’t have the impact on me that it should have. Now I’ve seen the film and I’m totally depressed. Funny appearance of Courtney Love though.

#35 - Charlie's War  — 4 weeks ago

Good film based on true events.

#34 - The Assisination of Jesse James  — 1 month ago

A bit slow, but great acting on the part of Casey Affleck (Ben Affleck’s younger brother – but so much better of an actor). Also stars Brad Pitt – but the stage is captured by Casey.

#32 Michael Clayton & #33 Breakup  — 1 month ago

Two 3 star movies (out of 4). Enjoyed them both.

#31 - The Wire: Season 3  — 1 month ago

Another great season. But I’m going to have to lay off the television shows if I’m going to make 200 by year end.

#30 - Capote  — 2 months ago

I enjoyed this film. 4 stars. Not perfect but great acting by Philip Seymour Hoffman.

#29 - Cloverfield  — 2 months ago

Not sure how I feel about this movie. Interesting way to tell a story, but not near as scary as Blair Witch. In the end, I couldn’t stop thinking, why the heck doesn’t he just drop the camera and run.
