It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Yesterday I watched "Kolya." It was very interesting, especially if you have a fascination, as I do, with the fall of the Soviet Union - and especially (as I do) the Czech people's "velvet revolution."
It won an Academy Award in 1997 for Best Foreign Language Film.
Franta Louka is a concert cellist in Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia, a confirmed bachelor and a lady's man. Having lost his place in the state orchestra, he must make ends meet by playing at funerals and painting tombstones. But he has run up a large debt, and when his friend, the grave-digger Mr. Broz, suggests a scheme for making a lot of money by marrying a Russian woman so that she can get her Czech papers, he reluctantly agrees. She takes advantage of the situation to emigrate to West Germany, to her lover; and leaves her five-year-old son with his grandmother; when the grandmother dies, Kolya must come and live with his stepfather - Louka.
Kolya (1996) - Awards
The story itself was also very poignant and the little boy who played Kolya was an excellent actor.

I've been sitting on this movie for a couple months because my sister wanted to watch it. Twilight makes any Robert Pattinson movie worth watching for her but if it's that good I might finally watch it.

Resident Evil Afterlife: This is my favorite in the series so far. I only wish they would have casted different people for Wesker and Chris. Preferably Hugo Weaving and Vin Diesel respectively. I know Vin Diesel doesn't quite have the same skin tone, but I think he would have been great for the part. And Hugo Weaving made as awesome Agent Smith, and the character of Wesker wouldn't have been that much different.
Dante's Inferno: I thought it was pretty good. Some parts where very similar to the game, and some parts where very different. I think I'd prefer the game over the movie though. The actual poem over both of them, but the game is fun. And very disturbing at times.

I finally saw Bruno last night. Es war fantastisch! Seriously though it does bring up some interesting social problems and it gives an interesting perspective of Americans.

I watched the original Dawn of the Dead last night. Oh my god it was sooo cheesy.

I just downloaded that the other day but I haven't watched it yet.
Ghostwatch (TV 1992) - IMDb
This is now one of my favorite horror movies.
