Actually, I fished out my copy of War with the Newts a week or so ago. Haven’t read it…

>Adjustment Bureau

Yeah, surprisingly watchable, and I liked the upbeat ending. Matt Damon I will punch you not too annoying.

>RUR – Karel Capek

Have you read War with the Newts by Capek? I read it when I was in high school and then in the 90′s, when it had even more sting. I have a copy somewhere… I haven’t read RUR but I imagine if it made your list here you’d like Newts.

This is a very good critical text, especially for someone like me who tried to explore and understand NZ and its people for a long time. It makes me think a lot, and makes me understand a few things better, too.
Thank you, my friend! I´ll get back to you with some questions when the time comes, so be ready for that!

I was also confused about the Winter’s Bone dubbing thing, but never mind. Everyone talks about Jennifer Lawrence, the lead actress (who went straight from here to X-Men: First Class, and so might not have an interesting career after all) but I also thought that John Hawkes (Teardrop) was amazing.

You should check out Martha Marcy May Marlene, preferably without reading anything about it first.

It’s a shame that Crazy Heart lead Jeff Bridges to embarrass himself by recording a terrible album.

For some reason I thought it was a European film… though it seems it isn’t! must have got my wires crossed when I first heard of it. Maybe just even the look of the lead actress on the poster. And the meth ravaged faces didn’t feel remotely American-movie. Expectations framing experience, again….

I saw green lantern, limitless, thor, captain america, adjustment bureau and winter’s bone, and pretty much agreed with your assessment of each. I’m confused about your dubbing comment on Winter’s Bone, though. The film was set in West Virginia, IIRC, what accents did you expect them to have?
