Alright. The movie festival in my town just ended today.
here are the movies ive seen with a rating by me. Click on the Title to go to the movie's IMDB's page.
Gomorrah
This follows the story of about 6 people linked with the Camorra mafia in italy. It's not your usual gangster movie but it really shows you what the mafia does in that part of the world. Very violent movie.
Italian with english subtitles.
Rating of 8 out of 10
Blindness
I didn't really want to see this one but my gf convinced me to check it out. It started out like a low budget movie and it seemed like it wasn't gonna get better but once they reach the "prison", it really picks up. The basic story is: someone goes blind without any physical damage to his eyes. It then spreads like a contagious disease. I felt like the acting was good and the overall camera was good but the blurs on the big screens made me want to stop watching. I really recommend this if you like "end of the world-type" of movies.
Rating of 8 out of 10
Animation shorts
9 short animated films. 1 stop motion, 1 3d, 1 computer animation with sand animation, and the rest were low end drawings. there was also 1 which to me wasn't animation. nice effort but nothing worth recommending or buying.
I was really disappointed this year.
Rating of 5 out of 10
[Rec]
Now here we have what I now consider my favourite horror movie. The quick synopsis is: A tv journalist is filming some firemen for a tv show when they're called to a disturbance. once inside, things get bad. I cannot recommend this one enough.
Spanish with english subtitles.
Rating of 9 out of 10

Waltz With Bashir
This one is a documentary about the war in Lebanon in the early eighties.
