Hong Kong - Inferno Affairs 1,2,3

*note Maramax bought this movies story and are on its way to production starring Brad Pitt and Leonardo. Only these 2 are confirmed so far. The story to this movie is dope in my opinion.

prozac is just really niceprozac is just really niceprozac is just really niceprozac is just really niceprozac is just really niceprozac is just really nice
Amelie (french w/ subtitles...so cute...had me in a good mood for a week)
Dirty Pretty Things (same actress as above but kind of wierd)
Dancer in The Dark (bjork...in a musical...)
Solaris (the original Russian film, not the crappy George Clooney remake)
Bully (If you ever saw Kids and liked it or appreciated it...this is made by the same guy, based on a true story, disturbing but well-made)
Run Lola Run (good indie flick that doesnt make you think too hard)
Timescore (i think thats what its called, ill edit if i remember the real name...so interesting, has the screen divided into four mini-movies, each shot in one, long, continuous take, all the script totally improvised.)

Run Lola Run is one of my faves. It's handy knowing enough German that I don't have to look at the Subtitles.

Yeah Bully is awesome(and in my opinion better than Kids). I have the A&E documentary on tape too...it's really interesting to hear the views of the actual people.
Larry Clark is coming out with a new movie, Wassup Rockers next year that sounds pretty good too!


I watched Fun (an early 90's movie with Alicia Witt) a couple days ago and I thought it was just amazing, so I definitely recommend that.
