My to watch list & Cine Europa

Looking forward to seeing these in the next two weeks:

A Mighty Heart (I didn't know that Michael Winterbottom directed this!)

Control (92% rating at rottentomatoes)

Across the Universe

I haven't been to the movies in ages, which is extremely uncharacteristic of me. I used to regularly see a movie every Tuesday night (cheap night here) but recently all my uni stuff has been getting in the way. I try to make up for it by watching films on SBS (free tv) whenever I can, and I average around 2-4 weekly.

I've already seen the Cine Europa 2007 schedule and I feel so sorry that I'll be missing a lot of good films. I've been religiously attending Cine Europa screenings since high school and it's just heartbreakingly sad that I won't get to go this year. Lives of Others, Kolya and Ingmar Bergman's Fanny and Alexander are on this year's lineup, along with a host of other excellent European arthouse flicks. I remember last year I saw Klassfesten (The Reunion) with friends and it was totally hilarious; the year before that I saw Bergman's Trolosa (Faithless) and it was two and a half hours of pure cinematic genius.
