Mr D refused to watch it with me and I wasnt feeling the love I had for the other 2 Berg movies with Mark so I dropped it 30 minutes in. Will finish a bit later. Spectacular explosions though. Downright frightening.
Benny & Joon (1993)
Quirky romantic comedy starring Johnny Depp. Definitely pleasant enough watch, though it's not exactly my type of film.

A rather obscure noir, at least I had never heard much about it. It has an A list cast including director Otto Preminger who also directed Laura (1944).
Jean-Luc Godard in 1963, named it the 8th best American Sound film.
Myself, I thought it was middle of the road with uninspired acting and a pot boiler script that was hard to swallow at times. Though the court room scene with the sleazy lawyer, was pretty nifty.

Cinema Paradiso 8.5/10

A really great foreign movie. Cinema Paradiso is a 1988 Italian drama film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.

I couldn't find any review here about this movie.
Not the best 911 film I have seen, but still decent.

Four Friends (1981)
-

-

I found this movie because it was an answer in the movie questions thread. After looking it up, I decided it was worth a try due to a 4/4 rating from Ebert and having Arthur Penn as the director. This was not one of Penn's best but I did enjoy it. It's about four friends at the end of high school, 3 guys and the kooky girl they all love, and the direction their lives go in from then on. The cast could have been better. Craig Wasson was the only actor I knew, and I only know him as the dude from Body Double. Still, the characters were pretty bland and I don't know if a better cast could have improved things that dramatically, and this needed exceptional characters/performances in order to be an exceptional movie. The soundtrack is also pretty lame for something set from the 60's to the 70's. That doesn't mean to say I wasn't interested throughout, and it does have it's moments. My wife enjoyed it about the same as I did.

Would have got three but I cringed when they added the shooting a gun into the air bit like in the original...

The Last Wave (1977, Peter Weir)
One of my all-time favorites. I hope Criterion will release it on Blu one of these days.

The International (2009)
Sadly, a bit less than the sum of its parts. I rate Tom Tykwer as a director and Clive Owen does a good job but there's something missing on the script level. A thriller without the requisite thrill.
