I watched The Lives Of Others last night, one of the best films I've seen in a long time. I bought it on DVD earlier in the year and for some reason never go around to watching it, but finally did so last night and was left wondering why I hadn't watched it sooner. Great story on a background of an interesting period of history in the Socialist climate of East Germany and the Stasi. Lots of emotion and good character development.
Watched Fears of the Dark too, a collection of 10 animated films in black and white on the theme of the dark. It was okay, but some of the plots were a bit strange to the point of ridiculous. and lacking. Some were brilliant however, and the animation in them all was great, just a little something missing though. Interesting concept though.
