Two Australian movies deserving of a wider audience...

I thought the Australian mockumentary called 'Kenny' was quite enjoyable. Shane Jacobson played a very likeable character.

On the small-scale American front, I rather liked 'Spiral' - had something of a Hitchcock feel to it.

Two written by and starring Carmine Famiglietti with Mathew Bonifacio:

Lbs - insight into the life of a 315 pound man who takes control of his life only to find it confirms his darkest fears.

Amexicano - a lazy American becomes friends with illegals leading to tradegy

Both are very well written.  Both are very emotional.  Highly recommended.

  for Layer Cake.  The Bank Job is another British caper flick that's very good.

Two with Casey Affleck -- a much better actor than this brother.  Both are excellent.

"Gone Baby Gone"          http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452623/

"The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"          http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443680/

Big fan of Local Hero.   So, is ZLS if I recall.  Dunno, this may have been Burt Lancaster's last film as an eccentric and funny oil mogul.  Sweet and charming to the bone this flick is .

I didn't like Thick as Thieves.

American Astronaut, is a movie I'd mention. Low budget, really kind of stupid, but somehow good.

Chernobyl Diaries despite the negative reviews of some people have an interesting story. Enough to keep me entertained.

    A small movie that is reminiscent of The Secret of Roan Inish is Ondine starring Colin Farell.

    Local Hero is a fun movie; one that is just enjoyable to watch.
