Drillbit Taylor

Owen Wilson is a filthy bum recruited by some dorks in high school who are bullied. Moderately funny and entertaining.

Radio On

Dark and moody 1980 English road movie between London and Bristol, co-produced by Wim Wenders and very much in the style of his 70s existential films. Great soundtrack, and B&W photography, not much dialogues, great.

Hulk

Expected a not so good blockbuster, and got a terrible one, bad special effect, crap story, and crap acting. Awful.

We own the night

I didn't care much for the previous films from James Gray, but really liked that one, set in the late 80's music, with good music and good actors. The story is fairly standard and predictable, but a solid police/crime drama with some bad Russians.

Mon Oncle Antoine

Apparently the greatest Canadian film ever, is not bad but a bit conventional and looks more like a TV movie.

Thirst

An early Bergman with the characteristics of some his 60s films already, with a young tormented and unhappy couple trevelling across europe, traumas, and multiple stories and distressed women.
