    The time crimes


    Can you translate that any differently? I'm having some trouble finding it. What's the Spanish title?

    I think he was referring to this

    I enjoyed Lust, Caution when I saw it a week ago. Moody period-piece with the raunchiest sex scenes I've seen in a Chinese movie. Very good, despite showing Tony Leung's bollocks slap-bang in the middle of the screen. Sorry, I'm dwelling on that far too much.

    Allstair:

    In my opinion, the "Year" is a movie with some narrative tricks derivate from some other "Child Movies" (much better, indeed, like "Machuca"). However, "Elite Squad" had a bunch of qualities: excellent edition, photograph, acting, casting and a story if not too much original, with punch and better structure.

    I'm having a time out until I can learn some manners.
    sacredchao: I don't know what to tell you. I suppose we'll just have to leave it at that. I still say you're being ever so slightly too harsh with it, considering the amount of effort that clearly went into its creation.

    2007 German/Austrian film Die Fälscher ("The Counterfeiters") was one of the most moving and powerful films I've seen in god knows how long.

    It's the story of a gifted German Jewish counterfeiter, taken to Sachsenhausen camp to head up Operation Bernhard, the single biggest currency counterfeiting operation in history.

    The film doesn't pull any punches, and is very honest about the feel and texture of life in the camps, and the men involved. It paints no man as bland hero or villain, and fleshes out all the major characters in a convincing manner.

    It really got to me, and kept me thinking and feeling about it all evening, and intermittently since.

    Host, or possibly DAYWATCH. And while they may not be the best films of the year, there pretty damn good.Except I don't understand Korian humor.

    Paris Je'taime was enjoyable.

    I've heard a lot of buzz about The Orphanage, but I'm yet to see it.

    And I'm with Jack Crow on Daywatch -- after how incredibly overrated Nightwatch was, I'm more than willing to give Daywatch a fucking PASS.
