[li]Bella Martha: One of those cooking type movies (like Eat, Drink, Man, Woman**, for example) with some sort of an uplifting message about love or the human condition or something. [/li][li]Bread and Tulips:** All and all not a waste of time. One of those “woman in an unhappy marriage gets empowered” type of movies. I suspect that you will like it more than I did. [/li][li]Danny Deckchair: Loosely based on the Darwin Award candidate Larry Walters who tied weather balloons to his lawn chair and was surprised to shoot thousands of feet into the air. This is a story of an eccentric Australian man who sails away from his dissatisfying life and lands in a small town to find a new and more fulfilling existence, but not without obstacles.[/li][li]The Devil’s Backbone: A romping tale of haunting and stolen gold set during the Franco Civil war in an orphanage in Spain.[/li][li]Donny Darko: Quite impossible to describe, it must be seen (but I will say that there is a scary giant rabbit involved).[/li][li]Haiku Tunnel: Basically,it is Office Space** if it had actually been good.[/li][li]Lagaan:** A nifty little musical from India about land tax and Cricket. [/li][li]Roseana’s Grave (aka For Roseana): A comedy about a guy that is tring to keep everyone in town alive so that his wife can have her dying wish to be buried in a rapidly filling graveyard. It should be dark, but somehow isn’t.[/li][li]Secret Society: A charming and amusing story about chubby English factory workers that form a Sumo club.(I admit, the coding and links are getting excessive at this point)[/li]
[li]Shaolin soccer: This is just a darn fun movie. A young Shaolin follower uses his skills to form a soccer team to ultimately challenge Team Evil. The visuals are fun to look at and the whole movie is campy as all get out.[/li][li]Shirley Valentine: A touching story about a Liverpool housewife and her journey to self-discovery where we learn that boat is boat, and fuck is fuck (this will make sense once you see it).[/li][li]Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow: I would describe this film and cinematic Doritos. A nice snack, if you are in just the right mood. It pays a tongue in cheek yet somehow respectful homage to those old movie serials. Lots of good camp, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Visually, it is very nice to look at, and a great movie to watch if you are not interested in thinking too hard.[/li][li]The Station Agent: A surprisingly touching story about a misanthropic dwarf (little person?) model train enthusiast and trainspotter who inherits an unused train depot in a rural New Jersey town. Here he learns to make friends and care about others. [/li][li]Time Changer: Stealth Fundamentalist Christian Propaganda (think Chick tracts) disguised as Science Fiction. A Professor at a Seminary school in 1890 is proposing that it is OK to teach morality separated from Christ. Another professor (who must approve of this work in order for it to be published) disagrees and just happens to have a time machine and sends the protagonist forward to our time so that he can see what happens when people separate morality from the one who bade us be moral. Hilarity ensues. I won’t say that it wasn’t interesting.[/li][li]Tortilla Soup: If you have seen **Eat, Drink, Man, Woman**, you have pretty much seen Tortilla Soup. This is more or less a remake of that movie, but with a Mexican-American family rather than a Chinese Family. That said, it is still worth watching. The food preparation sequences are every bit as luscious to watch, and the social dynamic of the family is different enough to make it interesting. [/li][/ul]
(OK, tell the truth, did I go overboard with the coding?)
