What films are you watching?

I'm gonna make it my aim to watch the following before the 11th:
City of God; Once Upon A Time in the West; Manhunter; Raising Arizona; The Dirty Dozen; The Proposition. Going to college has seriously reduced the amount of films I usually get to see.

Dude, you have to watch "Lawman". It's Steven's TV series about his life as a sheriff. It's incredible. I'm actually in love with the man, he plays the blues with crazy skills, trains killer attack dogs, visits children's hospitals with presents and can shoot a matchstick from 30 feet. This is all in REAL life. How can you not love the man?!

Is it up on the net anywhere? Been looking for it. Pm me a link plz

Just finished watching a film called Ballast, tis' a very hard film to go about reviewing or recommending to peeps. The best way I can attempt to do either is by saying firstly that I did not enjoy this film. The world depicted in the film is grittier than...well..grit. Life in this film is bleak, grim, depressing and nothing ever really works out. But this is where this film really excels. The director was intentionally trying to get the basic point across that life is generally shít and is merely peppered with moments of slightly less "shít-ness". It's a technically brilliant film. Even just in terms of how it was actually made, the film is unique. No actors were used in the film, "non-actors" were hired to portray the lives of the characters in the film from the local area. This is something I think is absolutely crucial to the film's success. The three leads in Ballast really blew me away with their offerings, I would nearly call their performances flawless if I weren't such a heartless fecker. To quote a review on the film that says what I want to perfectly "They do not come across as actors portraying roles, but rather just as people reacting to each other and their surroundings." Then when you take into account that this film used no special effects, used no soundtrack at all and had no dialog was written into the script (It was all improvised) you cant help but be amazed by the film. While I wouldn't exactly recommend it to the average film consumer, if you have even a slight interest in how films are made and what can be done with film as a medium you have to see this film!

Also, can someone go download this film so I have someone to talk to it about? I can point you in the direction of some "sources" to obtain it by PM if needs be.

Heres a trailer of it for those interested, not that it gives any clear indication of what the film is about.

Watching the film "Doubt". The dialog scenes in this film are incredible!
