Kim, you are very bad!
Thirteen DaysCarried of very well and held the suspense despite, with it being based on historical events, the ending being known. Could have done with some more (ie: any) coverage of what was going on in the Soviet Union at the same time, or perhaps that could be made into a film in its own right.
and have moved onto what, in my opinion, is Javier Bardem's finest film, i.e. the one where he doesn't look like a David Walliams impersonator, Biutiful.

that's not science, it's semantics.

It's on my list, but from the reviews it could either be hilariously clever or a complete cringe.

Early showing on a Thursday, so not many people, but lots of laughter from the crowd throughout the film. It's well-done slapstick, with none of the cringe-worthy bits you get in American comedies.* The cast, loaded with well-known names, was wonderful.As Riggers said, go see this film.* There were 2-3 American comedies previewed last night. We agreed on all of them:

Andrij. I pronounce you Complete and Utter GIT
Many, many years after reading Ian McEwans's novel I finally watched the film version of "The Comfort Of Strangers". Directed by Paul Schrader & beautifully shot in Venice with a stellar cast, the impossibly gorgeous Rupert Everett, Natasha Richardson, Helen Mirren & Christopher Walken. It's a visual feast, but as with the source material a tad improbable. Not to go home with tall, elegant weirdos is standard advice for travelers, returning for dinner with them after he's punched you in the guts is unlikely.
Noah. It was rubbish.
"Russell Crowe is back in Master and Commander II: this time there's Noah stopping him!"MrsC and I watched Beasts of the Southern Wild. Dead good. Some great CGI in a film that cost 1.8m to make. Amazing.

Thirty-three students from San Francisco’s Academy of Art University worked for months to craft most of the post-production visual-effects for the independent feature.
I haven't seen it, so I was commenting on the budget. Looks like it was mostly done by an arts school in San Francisco, which is kinda scabby. http://vfxsoldier.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/vfx-soldier-criticizes-beasts-free-labor-in-wall-street-journal/QuoteThirty-three students from San Francisco’s Academy of Art University worked for months to craft most of the post-production visual-effects for the independent feature.Basically a pay-to-work scheme....Benh Zeitlin have made millions, the people who created the work ends up with a enormous student debt.
