Corpse Bride. It's cute and playful and everything I like in Tim Burton movies.
8/10
Gran Torino. Alright, it's a good film, but I can't really see where the hype and rapture is coming from. Clint Eastwood being an elderly Dirty Harry is quite cool to see, but not really much more than Clint Eastwood being an elderly Dirty Harry (although I dig his character especially in the beginning). It's too stuffed with morality for my taste.
7/10
True Romance. I dig Tarantino as much as the next guy, but I couldn't quite get into this movie. I'm not entirely sure why, but the over-the-top-ness of this one bugged me, while I'm perfectly fine with it in other movies. Still, the flick got a great cast, even though it was too busy being killed off as fast as possible to get a chance to act.
6/10
Z. An excellent indictment of the murder of Lambrakis and a great statement against political fanatism, but little more. It does have its artistic merits (such as the rapid cuts between the examinations by the judge or the allusions to Greece throughout the movie), but the characters are portrayed way too one-sided: there are the overly enthusiastic lefties, the downright sinister right-wingers and inbetween, the judge who stays impartial for very long even against staggering evidence - it's all a little too easy. The only character who I felt had real depth was the wife of "The Deputy".
