Adam:
A Prophet –> About time I catch up with this one, it is on the shelf for a while
Cyrus –> never heard of it before, description does not sound too appealing
Winter’s Bone –> never heard of it before, but sounds like worth checking out
Toy Story 3 –> yes, not too bad, must be “The best Movie Trilogy ever” (Kermode)
Inception –> cannot wait to get near an IMAX with Inception playing
Matty:
A Prophet –> About time I catch up with this one, it is on the shelf for a while
Restrepo –> I am eager, heard an interview with one of the directors
The White Ribbon –> my best film of the last… don’t know, three years, I guess
The Kids Are All Right –> hmm… will probably skip this one
Please Give –> never heard of it before, description does not sound too appealing
Scott Tobias:
Dogtooth –> yes, I love that kind of thing. Weird, Haneke meets von Trier chamber play. Gret film!
Winter’s Bone –> never heard of it before, but sounds like worth checking out
Shutter Island –> I was a bit disappointed, but I was also very tired
Everyone Else –> that sounds like the kind of German film I do not like…
Exit Through the Gift Shop –> sounds interesting, but will prbably not check out anyway, as the scene it portraits is very much beyond my scope of interest
