Time for November wrap up. There are a few omissions from this list, films I intend to re-watch but this was my exciting month of films. Ah, and December should prove to be more fruitful with the end of the year wrap up. Cheers :)

The Class (2008)

I suspect that "The Class" while a French film, has more in common with most American classrooms then "Freedom Writers". I'm left with the impression that a class room works as a GPA Triage unit. So, yes... great film and there are no 'white knights' and no answer is the right one. It is just the only answer that is at hand.

Chapter 27 (2007)

Killers with mental health issues really aren't that interesting. Appreciated the film for the lack luster approach but not a film I would recommend.

The Woodsman

This was an extremely difficult film to watch. Would put it on a level of "Leaving Las Vegas" disturbing. This is a very frank handling of a convicted sex offender entering the world after being in prison.

Igby Goes Down (2002)

Quirky kid from wealthy privileged New York family faces the hardships of growing up. The only thing that makes this film even mildly interesting is the amazing cast.

Cinema Diary for 2010
The Year of The Tiger

This is a scrapbook of ideas, impressions and information about the movies I watch. It is basic, rough and raw in an effort to expand my personal viewing experiences. This is a creative exercise not a critical one. I hope you enjoy.
