That is a great video, Elver. Thanks.

Susanna, I did enjoy “Dear Frankie.” I think the acting/dialogue saved it from being cliche or merely manipulative…and yes, it was predictable, but I liked it more than I thought I would.

Nope, haven't seen it. But Dear Frankie is the inspiration for one of the greatest inventions in both science and film: watch the video :) A friend of mine is working in a very similar field.

ew. I can’t stand Nicholas Cage.

I watched Sophie Scholl (finally) this year. it was fantastic. I cry so easily at films like that, though, so it’s good I watched it alone. Grin. have you seen Dear Frankie?

I remember seeing Sophie Scholl on TV a while back. Touching and impressive film. Absolutely loved it. Grizzly Man is allegedly based on real footage. I haven't seen it yet, but from what I've heard then during the "man eaten by bear" scene the claim is that the lens cap was on and so we don't see the man get mauled. However Kevin Smith claimed in one interview that the lens cap was not on and that he has actually seen the hidden footage. So I'm guessing it's real. If you hated Being John Malkovich you might enjoy Adaptation which is written by the same guy. It's not exactly entertainment, but it's a very unique recursive film with impressive acting by Nicholas Cage.
