Well, it depends. I would be bored to death if I had to watch only serious films that encourage reflection from the audience because there's the escape from reality with various "American movies," but on the other hand, I would drown in superficiality and the mundane if the opposite were true. The right thing is to choose a middle ground and observe both film markets. Regarding the budget, I agree with you. Even those European directors who have "fled" to Hollywood have conformed to the clichés from across the pond. As for films, I recommend the ones mentioned above, plus Rocknrolla by Guy Ritchie if you can find it. Anyway, my knowledge in this area remains rather limited.

And they told you that the attack on the Twin Towers is a setup... Far from terrorists! Moreover, I agree with you on one thing you think too: Obama will only be a puppet (maybe). But the question is, whose?

As far as I'm concerned, you should have been out for quite a while now.

Let's hope they carry out an attack on one of the members of this group, true reviewer?!

@Bubi: maybe. Personally, I find both the European style and the Hollywood extreme style inappropriate. I believe that the latest US comedies like "Don't Let Go," "Knocked Up," "Juno," "Everything is Illuminated"... (I'd add Broken Flowers as well) have introduced a European twist within an American context of filmmaking. Then European films are divided into billions of subcategories characteristic of each country, making it really difficult to understand and label a film as European. Beyond that, I still prefer, despite the fact that very few are seen lately, films from across the Channel: see lately Hot Fuzz (I love Wright), Hooligans, Funeral Party, but also the latest "Wedding Date"... Then there are some gems from the East that drive me crazy. I wouldn't forget Heneke either. I'd say that in general what I dislike the most is perhaps the landscape of French cinema, which, since Besson is no longer around, has ceased to exist for me. Anyway, it's clear that if a film is good, I don't have prejudices about its origin.

I need to check it out... In the meantime, I'm thinking about a review of Beavis and Butt-head!

@alia: Raging Bull, Let me introduce my 1 and 2, '900, King for a Night, We’re No Angels, The Good Shepherd, Ronin, Therapy and Bullets, A Boss Under Stress, Brazil, The Last Flickers, Ciao America, Hi Mom!... And if you want to add all the other masterpieces, feel free. Before spouting nonsense, count to 10, thank you! I also think he falls short in direct comparison with Nicholson and Pacino, but he remains a great actor, of which there are fewer and fewer these days.

No! This movie (with the poor and deceased Roy) is a good piece of work and well made, where the music and the soundtrack overshadow the actors' performances and the whole film in general.

"more and more embarrassing lyrics, anonymous and superficial music as usual (a random solo not longer than 20 seconds, otherwise it goes beyond the framework of the commercial tune) the usual themes of intellectual emptiness (sex, a bastard life, and so on), a complete artistic void, but also a dialectical or even merely lexical one that leaves you astonished, the CD is worse than Buoni o Cattivi, and it seemed impossible: this hasn’t said a damn thing for a while, and it says it poorly! 'vieni qui' repeated 8 times because it doesn’t know what the hell to say and is even called a poet?" - From a comment by Marpado on another review of "Il mondo che vorrei" by Clako.

Very enjoyable review, well written and not heavy, definitely encourages listening (which I'm missing).
