Films to see:

The Prestige
Chris Nolan (Momento, Insomnia, Batman) + delicious Bale + Wolverine + Michael Caine + Johansson+ Swank + Gollum + Magicians...should be good enough on its own, right? But DAVID BOWIE IS IN THIS MOVIE!!!! So ya, I need to see this.

The Black Dahlia
Screenplay written by the same guy who wrote L.A. Confidential, one of my favourite films. Directed by De Palma (Scarface), starring Hartnett and Scarlett Jo. I'm a sucker for a steamy technicolour neo film noir.

This Film Is Not yet Rated
Documentaries are great, but this one has "graphic sexual content" too.

Shortbus
"A group of New Yorkers caught up in their romantic-sexual milieu converge at an underground salon infamous for its blend of art, music, politics, and carnality."
Need I say more?

Qian li zou dan qi (That's Japanese for "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles")
A father embarks on an unexpected journey in China to finish the film of his dying, estranged son.

Catch a Fire
Apartheid drama co-starring Tim Robbins doing a South African accent.

Southland Tales
The much, much anticipated second work from writer/director Richard Kelly who brought us Donnie Darko and then disappeared for 5 years. I do have to express some concern though. It's a musical starring the Rock. And Sarah Michelle Geller. And Stiffler. And Justin Timberlake. This will either be brilliant or absolutely rediculous, but worth my $10 regardless.

Borat: Cultural learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
I want him to make a romance inside me.
