Here are a few movies I saw in the last little while…

Exils
We saw this movie on a whim at eXcentris when my aunt was visiting. I am quite glad because it is very good. The film relies on cinematography and acting and keeps dialogue to the minimum while still getting the point across.

Episode III
I am not even going to make a link. If you’re into it, you’ve seen it already. I’m not a Star Wars fanatic so I didn’t even mind seeing Episode III without seeing the II. The best part about it was that I went to see in the open-air theater in Cres. There is nothing quite like watching the x-wing fighter scene and then looking up to see more stars. Go Universe!

Sabah
I haven’t gone to Bytowne for a bit. It was partially because I was so busy and partially because I became bored with the current film trends. I’ve seen so many same movies that I started to sigh at trailers for being boring and predictable. Sabah was an excellent movie to get me out of that funk. It is a very sweet comedy/love story. It is in the vein of “Bend it like Beckham” with all the commotion, tenderness and sweetness. Just sweet, sweet, sweet. Exactly what I needed!

Kamikaze Girls
Chris made sure we had ticket for this one (it was sold out for both Fantasia showings) and it was worth it. It almost makes me want to join a scooter gang.

Otakus in Love
This movie is absolutely fantastic!!! Go Fantasia! It’s got drama, violence, hilarious plot twists, comic book shop, art on rocks and a musical number. What more can you ask for?

Palindromes
I just came back from watching this film. I haven’t quite made up my mind about it, but I definitely enjoyed watching it.
