oh you know what. I recently watched 1000 years of longing. Its a fantasy romance sorta. I admit that it turned me off but my wife watched it and said I would likely like it so I did. I think one nice thing is it follows this format that is a bit like the arabian nights. A series of stories. I very much like how they imagined a modern look on how the supernatural functions. It was also different and fresh relative to rehash fare.
Coyote vs. Acme 4.5/5 - I'm really glad this got out of studio hell. The themes about corporations ignoring consumers, the comfort of habit vs embracing the future, and the value of working hard even for no reward are all very timely and I would suspect part of why this had a hard time getting to theaters. It's really funny, touching, and definitely worth seeing
Rounders 4/5 - I liked the characters and story in this quite a bit. My minor gripe is that like most poker movies it has too many scenes where the pivotal hand is something that rarely happens in poker, though at least nobody won with a royal flush at any point
Justice League: War 3.5/5 - Pretty good for the DCAU, it's got a full cast, doesn't do much for origin stories and quickly has the action start. Green Lantern repeatedly getting his shit rocked is very funny

The second film of "The Oslo Trilogy" called "Dreams". Wonderful movie.
"Hadestown - The Musical", an amazing retelling of the Orpheus ans Eurydice Greek myth. What a wonderful piece of art and love.
