God's little acre -

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

The novel was so controversial,

that a literary board in New York attempted to censor it,

leading to the author's arrest and trial for obscenity.

The Mirror (original: Zerkalo)

A fascinant trip into the the meanders of memory and nostalgia.

You ought to see Stalker as well. If you like art, Andrey Rublyov is more than worthwhile, one of my top three, and if you are interested in WWII, Ivan's Childhood shouldn't be missed. If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a huge fan of Tarkovsky. I even bought Bjork's Volta to hear "Dull Flame of Desire", (YouTube - Dull Flame Of Desire by Björk , with Antony Hegarty) the lyrics of which are taken from Tyuchev's poem that was used in Stalker.

My other favorite directors are Dreyer, Kurosawa, and Renoir among others.

PS, loved God's Little Acre, too. Steamy stuff with Michael Landon as a teenaged albino.

I too saw Avatar in 3D, but it's in the wrong thread - it belongs over under "The Worst Movies Ever Made".

Whilst the 3D effect is stunning, the rest of the film (plot, characterisation, acting, editing etc) was garbage. It was too long, too facile and too much like watching Pocahontas with blue people, or Fern Gully with gunships.

2 stars. One star for the visuals, one star for the scene with a mech jumping from an exploding gunship. The rest of the film attracts no stars at all.

In Germany it's tradition to watch "Dinner For One" at New Year's Eve. It's a really hilarious sketch in English, created and performed by Freddie Frinton. For some unknown reasons barely one Englishman knows it.
"The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?" - "The same procedure as every year, James!" :)
Happy New Year!

Hate to say it but the English dont watch it because its not funny to them. I watched this with a room full of Germans and just didnt get it?
