i don't even think that's real. that was actually the response given by a buddy of mine to a priest during an icebreaker at a retreat we were on about 3 years ago.

seriously though, i would say Entre les Mûrs. i think the english title was "the class" couples retreat was HILARIOUS though, and i did thoroughly enjoy it. "regard me. . . Yes, encouragement!"

Oldboy is one of my favorite movies of the decade, great flick, although despite how fantastic it is from start to finish, I always find myself enjoying the first half a lot more, the whole build-up and his imprisonment, as well as of course the centerpiece fight sequence.

But as I've re-watched it over the years, I've grown to appreciate the second half a great deal, it's much more Shakesperean in tone and less action oriented, and the ending is mind-fuck central in the greatest tradition of David Lynch.

Moon is awesome, Sam Rockwell better get a damn Oscar nod, although I can't really say I follow the awards season since it became a sensationalist ratings event like the Super Bowl.

Anyway, if anyone's thinking about checking it out, do so as soon as possible, it takes a lot of creative and thematic inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey, which isn't a bad thing.
