Recommendation

Innocent Voices, a film about the civil war in el salvador. it's worth watching just for the incredible faces and for the scene where the beat up, pissed off priest rants at the soldiers who have occupied his village about grace and disgrace.

and, of course, the king's speech. i know the dude won the oscar and all the hype but for me anyway it was easily one of the greatest movie performances i've ever witnessed. the guy's angst, his pain, his torment--his terror--i could smell it, taste it, feel it in the pit of my belly.
