Saw that one a couple of months ago :yes:
Great piece, and great soundtrack, always memorable for the piece composed by Lisa Gerrard: 'Host of Seraphim'

The visuals and the soundtrack wove seamlessly together, sorta exemplifying the connectedness of human cultures, environment, the animal kingdom, etc.
"Baraka" isn't your "typical" movie by any means. When I was watching it, I never once lost any interest. It captivated and mystified me for the entire time. After I put the DVD back in it's case, I found that I couldn't stop thinking about it and marvelling at it in my memory. I'm still thinking about it.....

A single man.
What a great movie it was deep politically and philosophical. And it was filmed in a way I have never seen. It was a great great film.

I think that after reading your posts. I would be willing to guess. You in particular would love this movie. Please tell me what you think. The movie was was taken from a novel written by a gay man who was into eastern philosophy in 1962. It makes this even more interesting that it was so ahead of its time. Notice the tones of color of the film. It changes with the mood of the main character. I will now shut up.

The previews of the film hooked me instantly. I'm really looking forward to seeing it!
Yeah, don't tell me anything else.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
A Single Man is in my Netflix queue too - now I'm really interested in seeing it even more. Colin Firth is one of my favorite actors.
I'm about to go watch "Character." See details below. I'll let you guys know how it is.
Character
(Karakter)
1997R125 minutes
Dreverhaven (Jan Decleir), the city's most feared bailiff, is discovered with a knife through his heart, and a young, self-taught lawyer (Fedja van Huet) who just passed his exams was the last person to see the man alive. But what was his connection to the dead man? The police are mighty interested to know, and the young barrister is ready to tell the story of a lifetime. This Dutch-Belgian drama won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
This one is on it's way:
A Man Named Pearl
2006G78 minutes Angered by white residents' racist comments that he wouldn't "keep up his yard," Pearl Fryar teaches himself topiary sculpture and becomes the first African American in his Bishopville, S.C., neighborhood to win the coveted "yard of the month" award. This acclaimed documentary traces Fryar's inspiring story, as he grows into a legendary horticulturist, welcoming thousands of tourists eager to catch a glimpse of his stunning works of art.
I heard it was really good.
Has anyone seen either of these movies yet?

Done here.
Kirstin Dunst as Claudia really creeped me out. But I guess that's not inappropriate for a vampire movie.

I might have to think about seeing it, then. The second and third ones were kind of a let down, compared to the first.

The Reader, with Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes. thought provoking and intense.
"Post-WWII Germany: Nearly a decade after his affair with an older woman came to a mysterious end, law student Michael Berg re-encounters his former lover as she defends herself in a war-crime trial."

My review of Inception:
Picture me sticking my finger down my throat while hunched over the porcelain god.

Futurama: Bender's Big Score
AND
Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs
Big fan of Futurama here, but the movies were weak.
Gleesh! Even having more Zoidberg wouldn't cure'm.
