Not great, but if you like over the top action, it's worth a watch

Michaelangelo Antonioni's "Red Desert" - the beautiful Criterion Collection reissue. Easily one of my top all-time favorite movies. The scene on the dock, with the fog moving in so mysteriously and poetically. . . sigh. . . a touchstone for all European art cinema that followed. It's the film he made immediately prior to "Blow Up" another one of my all-time faves. Can't recommend "Red Desert" highly enough to anyone who wants to be known as a "film buff."

Aliens

Not as claustrophobic and future-goth as Alien, that's for sure, but the scary (hanging-on-the-edge-of-your-seat) parts were aplenty and James Cameron (who directed this) had, even back then before Avatar, such a wonderful grasp of mixing action/thrill scenes with interpersonal dialogue and characterization. Plus Sigourney Weaver rocks!

I agree. Most of the show had me guessing it was supernatural, but I liked how it was explained at the end. I'm not sure how old the the girl (playing the orphan character) is, but she's quite simply amazing and convincing for someone that young.

Today:

sorry didn't look for one with subs.. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0845442/

Yet another Korean movie...

(I cannot begin to express how much I enjoy Korean movies (I rely on subtitles). My amateur assessment (of mostly movies dating 90s onwards) is that the Koreans have one of the best movie industries and standards around, and they keep producing very affecting movies - I think it comes through from convincing acting and directing, and story build-up (they really do have a good handful of rather original ideas to boot). They are better known for their romance movies and TV serials , but I do not like that genre and I dislike TV serials in general; even still, I must have watched well over 100 (non-romance) movies (I know, because I have my favorites stored on a external drive and there are 124 them, i was surprised actually). Thus, I highly recommend checking some out if you haven't yet; and you don't have to be a film analyst, they are not complicated.

Black house - added to my list of favorites, and excellent psycho-thrillers

Couldn't find a trailer with subtitles, but here's some IMDB anyway http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1193490/

On the Waterfront - an absorbing story, and great acting. You can really see how Brando changed film-acting forever with that performance. He was leaps and bounds above most 1950s stars.

Black Swan ... I thought it was OK, but not quite a "keeper". I guess I expected a bit more drama between Portman's character and her mother, and somehow the ending seemed to be a letdown. On the other hand, Mila Kunis plays a very good tramp, sort of in the same vein as Laura San Giacomo in sex, lies, and videotape. I was a bit surprised by the raciness of the fantasy sex scene with Portman, especially for an R-rated movie. But then I don't see many movies, so I suppose I've been asleep at the switch while the envelope has been getting pushed.
