The Lives of Others
This was an R-rated movie that I saw thanks to the BYU International Cinema. It's yet another foreign movie about East Germany. You might think those are the only kinds of movies I watch anymore. This one was brilliantly made, the most thrilling and suspenseful movie I've seen in a while. I'll try to secure an edited copy an send it to my family. I couldn't find any trailers that portrayed the movie well enough, but here is one.
5/5 Stars
The King of Kong
This is a documentary that I had been wanting to see for a long time. When it came out I tried to rent a copy but to no avail- it was always out. Finally I got one and we were able to watch it. It is funny, I don't think a movie could cast these kind of characters. Steve, the protagonist, is a math teacher from WA. He reminds me of home, maybe it's his accent. He's somewhat obsessive compulsive. All the other people in the movie are gaming freaks from the 80s. They are the bread and butter of this movie. I'd recommend it, but it might not be what you'd expect.
This is a short video about one of my favorite characters in the movie, Joel. I like when he takes 90 degree turns.

Be Kind Rewind
I saw this movie recently and thought it was great. It's not as formulaic as many of the comedies out there right now and has good acting. It's clean. Jack Black and Mos Def go great together.
4.5/5 Stars

I saw a guy on campus making 90 degree turns like Joel. He was a guy from your mission. It was funny, and somewhat surreal.
So does Joel still live with his parents? Were you serious about sending the Other People's Lives because it does look good...also how can you go wrong with Jack Black. All good pics though I think it'd have to be pretty late at night for me to look past all the nonsense in the king kong movie.
