Been doing a lot of movie watching as of late:
-finished watching the movie Man Bites Dog yesterday, about a film crew that follows a serial killer on his rounds
-today I watched Born Into Brothels, doc about children in the red light district in Calcutta; the filmmaker gives the children cameras so we can see their world through their eyes.
-The Strangers-- SUCKED. There was one part where I jumped and screamed, I admit, but that was followed with about 10 minutes of laughter.
-At this very moment I'm watching Saving Private Ryan

I bought the video of 'Man Bites Dog' when it was released. Good to know you are watching challenging films like that, E. I think two members of the film crew following him are played by the co-directors. One died very young. 'Man Bites Dog' is the only film they directed together.

I always recommend 'Come and See' (Idi i smotri); I reckon it is possibly the best war film ever made. Once seen never, ever forgotten.

Here's my nearest indie cinema - The Duke of York's. A little oasis. The oldest cinema in Britain still operating.

I don't visit as much as I should. The legs on the roof were on the balcony for the Brighton Festival one year. The owners liked them so much they put them on the roof where they have stayed ever since.

yep, i would say so.

we have some independent theaters too but recently some of them are intercepted by some big companies and transformed into commercial cinemas or simply bankrupt i checked "in the loop" and this movie for example doesn't have premiere here at all
