The Gatekeepers - Perspectives from all of the former heads of Shin Bet about the role of the agency and their personal feelings about that role. I think the documentary maker deliberately avoided politics and tried to focus on the personal element.
A very interesting film and not at all what I expected. If you suspend your cynicism and listen and watch carefully I think you can see the machine isn't necessarily always just a machine.

Last night I watched: Ted. It's pretty funny.
"In The House" wonderful French film with Kristen Scott Thomas directed by francois Ozon. Intriguing tale of a gifted young pupil at a french school, the teacher who helps him develop his talent and the strane entanglement that follows. Very original.

The Big Lebowski- My third or fourth viewing of a movie I had only previously thought was okay. For some reason I found it much funnier than the other viewings. The scene where the nihilists threw the marmot in the bathtub was too funny.
I still think Hudsucker Proxy sucked and won't be giving it another chance, didn't like the Man Who Wasn't There, nor Intolerable Cruelty and Burn After Reading was so-so. The first Coen brothers movie I found funny...I previously liked Fargo and Miller's Crossing but none of their comedies.
Been reading some Jim Thompson books so I'm going to watch The Grifters tonight.
Oblivion
Visually it was great. But the story was a bit boring and the plot seemed to move along too slowly. This lead to the ending being a big meh.

Oh yeah. Yet to watch, but I've heard good things. Haven't seen Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, or Blood Simple. A bit behind:).Quote:

was it your first time with that, Broncofan?
World War Z. Pretty good flick!
