Thoughtful movie covering two men's trip wine tasting. Deals with friendship, love, lust, marriage, and depression. Unpredictable yet natural: one cannot predict where it is going but it seems obvious when it arrives.

Interesting but not as deep as I had hoped it would be. Nonetheless, it did have some insights, as seen in its investigation of loaded questions and of preferential news reporting.

Decent, thoughtful movie about suffering, God, and taking control of one's life. Story follows God, who wants a vacation, as he comes to earth looking for a saint to replace him for a little while. (The movie's not thoughtful in a particularly sophisticated way, but is relatively cute with its brief spurts of commentary.)

A good Hitchcock film with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly about a retired jewelry thief ("the cat") and what happens when someone starts stealing jewels in the same style. Full of sexual innuendo. A good classic.

Semi-disturbing movie about genocide in Rwanda, though not as disturbing as I expected. It felt real: it felt as if the main character (and indeed other characters as well) weren't acting. Somehow, the film managed to pull off positive yet non-hollywood ending appropriately tempered by the reality of what occurred. Based on a true story. Worth watching.

Jamie Foxx plays Ray Charles (blind singer and pianist extraordinaire) in this movie about the early part of his life. Excellent. You forget Jamie isn't Ray Charles. And the supporting characters, especially the female ones, are also excellent actresses. Music from countless songs is well integrated into the film.
