Religulous

Bill Maher’s brilliant new film Religulous is coming soon. Will it be the God Delusion of documentary films?
It look promising, looking at the trailers. Visit disbeliefnet as well.

Human Rights Week at International University Audentes

The Human Rights Centre at International University Audentes is having a Human Rights Week. More info from www.humanrights.ee.

High School Musical 2

High School Musical 2 is brilliant. I do not know if it is better than the first, but they have achieved to do something equally great, but at the same time also different. I love most of the songs, especially Bet On It, You Are The Music In Me, What Time Is It? and Work [...]

Films I want to see

I never thought I would say this, but I really want to see some Estonian films. Most of all, of course, Kadri Kõusaar’s Magnus, which is competing in Cannes, but also Ilmar Raag’s Klass, Andres Maimik / Rain Tolk’s Jan Uuspõld läheb Tartusse and Dirk Hoyer’s Võõras.

Borat

Went to see Borat last week. I have not laughed so hard for a long time. I think Sacha Baron Cohen is brilliant. He has done an Ali G movie, now he did a Borat one, is Bruno next?
I liked the film, especially when it turns on the viewers at one particular point and basically [...]

Films update

I have seen some new films lately:
Ella Enchanted is a nice light fairy-tale, with some unexpected twists and turns that make the story enjoyable. I especially like the CGI backgrounds.
Gandhi is an intriguing and encompassing film. Ben Kingsley makes a great performance.
The Prince and Me is quite mediocre, but at least the basic idea is [...]

Gangs of New York

Went to see Gangs of New York yesterday evening. It was really a good movie and I was postively surprised. The other thing that surprised me was the amount of blood shed and gruesome scenes which followed one another. It really painted a horrific picture of what New York used to be (or is still [...]
