Battle in Heaven (Batalla en el cielo) (2005, Unrated)
Whenever a director defies rules,criticism rises.Reygadas isn't yet a big art-house name.He dares and no matter how sour his anti-Catholic story may seem,the fact he chooses to show ugliness in an enticing way,should we assume ugliness is a universal term by the "civilized" people,proves he's a director with guts and focus! |

Don't Come Knocking (2006, R)
Faraway,so close dear Wenders...it's a shame,really,to stuck en route for the American dream as you say in all your filmography,discovering the core and then self-exploding?A pity,this was the pinnacle of Wenders' journey.I believe it's about time to pick up the rest of the pieces and think of concrete ideas instead of dead end road trips.I wish I hadn't given one star on this but he wouldn't leave me any other option.Utter failure. |

L'Enfant (The Child) (2006, R)
4,5 stars from me because it's explicitly Christian-like reminiscent (not mentioning the "menage-a-trois" hypothesis there) to Pickpocket by Bresson.Dardenne are modern cinema's hopes whatever the case may be. |

Election (Hak se wui) (2005, Unrated)
A seminal picture of the new gangster genre.The criminal underground in To's illumination has no limits and no fears as to which is the outcome of any behavior.Sizzling with a dark,nightmarish attitude,superb editing process and a fascinating mood during the action scenes.The Ka Fai and Yam bout is like a chess game. |

Shanghai Dreams (Qinghong) (2005, Unrated)
A terrific depiction of the long-forgotten youth,it will crawl inside you and you don't have to be a Chinese to apply to what these dreams truly mean and focus on.The inches of respect and fervent ambition are but scaffolds for the proletarian class,most of the time their only way out from this bulk of stability.Yuanyuan is excellent in her role as the meek daughter and Xiaoshuai presents another great movie.. |

Where the Truth Lies (2005, Unrated)
Generic and reckless in the depth of it.Egoyan loses the center stage or you can call it...holy bible of philosophy and while we're watching this supposed film noir,all I'm thinking is where's the great director of Exotica... |
