This Russian re-imagination of 12 Angry Men does well in its attempt to modernize the script and transform it into a Russian story instead of an American one. The acting of all the jurors is superb and the splicing of the war footage takes away from the monotony of the jury room. The film is probably a half hour too long and some of the religious undertones didn't sit right with me. But all fans of 12 Angry Men should definitely check this one out.

District 9
9/10
This sci-fi film definitely does not offer what you expect it to. Instead, it offers up something exceptionally original and incredibly intelligent. Sharto Copley's performance is absolutely spectacular especially when you take into account that this is his first major role and that he was acting to CGI creations for 3/4ths of the film. The CGI aliens are not phony looking and instead seem very real, which is the main reason why the film is so surprising. Definitely see this film even if you have doubts about it.

The Asphalt Jungle (John Huston, 1950)

Dark alleys. Shadows. Hard lighting. Uncomfortably close, sweaty close-ups. Awesomely suspenseful jewel heist. Failed double-crossings. Bullet holes. Dames. Police line-ups. Horse farm. Sam Jaffe. Sterling Hayden and the scariest face I've ever seen. Awesome.

Boring sub-plots. Everyone not named Sam Jaffe or Sterling Hayden. Not so awesome.

8/10

I gave it a 10/10 myself. [spoiler]The last quarter of the movie had a lot of the same trappings of generic action movies, but generic action movies ain't nothin to fuck with.[/spoiler]

I saw District 9 in September, Waltzing with Bashir in October (10/10) and that's pretty much it.
