You seem uncertain about that.

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005).

Engaging and informative, and I was delighted to find it narrated by Peter Coyote.

It doesn't parallel Adam Curtis' Century of the Self, but few documentaries do.

Last night I watched this German movie from 2012 called Barbara. It is about a female doctor who has been banned from West Germany (the nicer part of the country) to East Germany (the depressing part of the country) to serve at a small provincial hospital. She's under surveillance, gets harassed daily by lackeys of the state as she tends to her job at the hospital and secretly plans her escape to the West, through Denmark. Meanwhile, she meets a male doctor who is an informant, but also seems to care about ethics and his job far more than upholding his duties to the state.

Love, ethical dilemmas, danger, suspense, great acting and much more follows.

I can imagine a lot of people would think it looks boring as hell, but I was really positively surprised by how well made the movie was. I recommend it.

Saw Mad Max: Fury Road

UNBELIEVABLE action scenes. The editing and camera work is phenomenal and it look like not a lot of CGI was used. Amazing that no one got killed during the making of the chase scenes.

Only gripes are the movie bogged down a bit during a desert interlude and that although Hardy's action scenes were phenomenal, his dialogue when things slowed down was extremely stiff.

I still haven't had the chance to watch the new Mad Max movie, but since everyone is telling me that it is a GOOD two hour car chase, maybe I should.

I thankfully still have a functioning VHS player somewhere, so its no problem. Analog movies look so good with shimmering images and ridiculous oversaturation!

It's not perfect, but very well done, very entertaining and hilariously crazy.

Just watched Blue Is The Warmest Color last night, dammit that gave me feels. In all seriousness I thought it was a great movie, and the characters were done suprisingly well; I haven't cried during a movie in a long time.
