Wow, runnr, you watched some good movies recently. I really loved In Bruges and Diabolique. :)
I watched X-Files all the way up to the end season when Mulder and Scully weren't even on the show, but I don't think you have to be fan of the show to watch the latest x-files movie. I was disappointed in the movie, though. They don't even cover a real "x-file", the movie could have been based on any cop show/procedural on TV right now with the lame mystery they were solving. Boo! But I disagree about the chemistry between Andersen and Duchovny. I thought they have good chemistry still and I'm glad they are able to be a couple in the movie(yes, I'm a shipper so I can't help it). That was really the only parts of the movie I liked.

Flow: For Love of Water(2008)=Water is the beginning of life, the beginning of everything. This excellent doc examines the increasing scarcity of water and corruption inherent in the privatization of water supplies by large corporations, here and around the world. There is also criticism of bottled water companies that sell us tap water and call it mountain spring water (not all of them do this but quite a few do).
A real eye opener and a must-see. Several good bonus features, including the one on rocket fuel in our drinking water. 4 1/2 stars.
The only two things missing from this doc are: 1) a more elaborate explanation of rainwater collection systems, which are becoming more popular and sophisticated. 2) livestock production is the biggest water user there is and this subject is not covered.

I watched Jupiters Wife.
Interesting documentary about a 40 something homeless woman. The narrator talks quite a bit, but he does put her story together and it would be hard to piece it together w/ out him. The thing about Maggie (the homeless woman) is that she is very intelligent and I really started to like her. She is so preoccupied with what her brain is telling her that her surroundings seem take a lower priority and it was interesting how she never complained or resentfully blamed other people for her situation, but there was a huge sense of sadness in some parts.
3 stars

Last night, came home from work and watched MST3K: Werewolf and that provided some much needed laughs! I also watched Untraceable which also provided some laughs but not in the intentional way but I gave it 3 stars for some fairly creative "kills."

Here is what I've watched recently:
Rape is a Circle. Not nearly as exploitative as I was expecting and really actually kind of tame for this type of film. Not to mention the distribution label it's on. I would never recommend this to anyone who isn't down with the the whole shot on video z-grade movies. Heck I wouldn't even recommend it to people who dig that kind of movie. I gave it three stars because I liked the music, I thought the plot was interesting, and I liked the buxom gal who didn't speak English as a first language.
Baby Mama. I like Tina Fey, a lot, and I found this film to be pretty generic and missing a lot of what I find so endearing about Fey to begin with (her wit). While I did have more than a few laugh out loud moments and more cringe inducing moments with Steve Martin than I ever thought possible, this film just didn't do it for me. Three stars for this one as well.
Silip: Daughters of Eve I watched this last weekend and the opening scene alone is enough to scare away most people. Then the themes of race, pedophilia, religion, sex and so much more come at you fast and furious. This is an extremely hard film to watch and unless you are not easily offended I would stay away from it. Four Stars for me.
Kill Your Idols. As any of you know, I'm a huge fan of Lydia Lunch and Jim Thirwell (Feotus) and most of the stuff happening in the late 80's and early 90's underground music scene and this is a wonderful look at the experimentation that was happening then with such artists as Suicide, Lydia Lunch, Television, and Feotus not to mention also showing bits of some of Richard Kern's work and many interviews with Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth. I could have lived with out the footage and interviews of current generations attempt at the same New York feel as 1980 but I guess they are there for a reason. Four Stars.

Should I even ask what the opening scene in Silip was will even the description scare people away?

No, it's pretty screwed up though. The guy who is the driving force in most of the tension in the film slaughters a cow in front of a group of children using a sledge hammer while yelling at the children that they need to see this and grow up. It's not faked either, it is very very real and while he is gutting the beast, in real life, one of the older girls gets her period... blood from both splatter to the ground...

Yeah, I sat there during the opening scene and kept thinking... unsee... unsee... unsee... but after that the movie got very interesting and very dynamic. If you can get passed that part of the film it has a very unique and poignant message.
