Sin F**kin' City!
I just saw it Tuesday; and I'm still gaga over it!
Also, when it comes out, Kung Fu Hustle. It should be the funniest thing to come from China since, well, anything.

Lately I’ve been taken with Andrei Tartovsky, and contemporary Russian film in general.
-My name is Ivan, Andrei Rublev, Solaris, The Mirror.
I just saw the Commitments again. That’s a fun movie.

I heard Sin City was really good all though I haven't seen it myself yet. I am also looking forward to Kung Fu Hustle.

Yes Kung Fu Hustle!
Anyway, War of the Worlds looks promising even though they might mess up the image of the book like they did with LOTR.... but I won't get into that.
Speaking of movies played off of books, I really can't wait for The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Let's see a movie recomendation...I have no clue. I've drawn a blank... maybe Closer because I want to see it too, not knowing if it's good or not.

Go watch every Woody Allen movie you can get your hands on, and watch them chronologically. He is a genius director, prime example: the blocking in Crimes and Misdemeanors when Judah goes to Dolores apartment to try and end their affair-notice how the entire scene happens in ONE shot.

See High and Low. The first act contains a lot of deliberate blocking, and most of the action takes place in a series of long, purposeful shots. Kurosawa was trying to emulate a stage performance.
I read something that said Woody Allen was very inspired by live theatre. His blocking style would certainly support this. I dislike excessive jump-cuts and sloppy blocking, so I'll have to watch some of his films again. I think I was to young to pick up on this when I originally saw most of them.
