El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006, R)
One of those rare films that does a seamless job of mixing fantasy and realism; the only parallel being Tim Burton's "Big Fish". Great performances; particularly Ivana Baquero. A must-see for cinema lovers who search for *rare* originality in films nowadays. |

Cidade de Deus, (City of God) (2003, R)
Watching it again, the movie still mesmerizes with its ability to startle, thrill and remind us of the history of violence. Fernando Meirelles is brilliant with a script that is so nuanced and the acting so freakin natural. It's like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (in this case Kids :) in all its gory detail. The movie is such a classic it'll be taught in film schools, in the years to come... and don't even get me started on the photography and editing! If only I could give the movie 6 stars out of 5. |

Hustle & Flow (2005, R)
Whoa! Refreshing...this film is at it's heart, more "Death of a Salesman" than "Rocky". Actually, it should have been titled the "Resurrection of a Salesman". Listen to the track - "keep hustling" for more clues, but in totality a breath of fresh air, and I think it just kicked the "Blues Brothers" out of my all-time favorite musical spot. |

Nacho Libre (2006, PG)
It's Napolean Dynamite 2.0. Terrific slapstick performances and a heart-tugging storyline. Definitely worth owning the DVD. |
