The little girl’s smile at the end is just so EVIL.

Here’s just a couple of the ones I enjoyed.

El secreto de sus ojos is a really great movie, it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year. It’s a crime, mystery, thriller like movie and it keeps you on your toes till the end.

An Education is a good British movie if you feel like traveling back in time in the 60′s. It’s a love story between a young girl who dreams of going to Oxford until she meets David, a guy twice her age, who changes her world.

Sherlock Holmes is a nice action, adventure comedy movie. If you like either Jude Law or Robert Downey Jr. or Guy Ritchie movies you should definitely watch it.

Adventureland is sort of your typical American teen movie. It may seem like it’s a comedy, but it really is a drama. It features Kristen Stewart, Twilight’s start and Ryan Reynolds who just isn’t very convincing in a serious role. It’s a light, weekend movie.

Sin nombre is a pretty violent, dark drama about the Honduran gangs in Central America and the people’s struggle to pass through into North America and live their dream life.

City Island is a comedy/drama with Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies. The film is about a family in which everyone has secrets. It’s pretty boring in the beginning, but wait until everything is out in the open.

Have you seen any good movies lately, what can you recommend?

If you haven’t seen it, you should cause it’s really great. Ah I miss the good old days, when the cartoons were in English and not dubbed in Romanian. By the way..you’re very much welcomed to share in a comment one of your favorite cartoon episodes. I would be pleased to watch it.

A work primarily done on the Maya software, and a composition under Shake. The characters look funny, but the story line is a bit ambiguous, but all in all a nice animation.

Although it may seem long, I really enjoyed watching it to the end. My objective is to make Japanese people to think about that everything happening here in Japan, isn’t that normal. So I created this video from foreigner’s point of view, rather than Japanese people’s point of view, says the author Kenichi, a 23-year-old graphic designer.
