I'm an Australian in France, trying to travel and make sense of it all. I've got way too many hobbies, but mainly I spend a lot of time listening to music, reading, going to live performances and festivals, cycling and watching movies. I'm a pretty easygoing person who likes just about everything and then can't fit it all in. I'm married to Bruce, who is just bloody brilliant and I'm keeping him. I've got a personal blog, but there's also Alcorn.id.au, Twitter, Facebook, Livejournal, Myspace, 12 Seconds and Seesmic. Well, they're just the regular haunts. Plus, I am taking a photo every day and showcasing the results on One Photo. I share a lot of links. For the best stuff, check out Del.icio.us, Cloud pics, Smange's food lust and Ange Mode. Flixter will show you movies I'm watching, Goodreads will show you what I'm reading, while Last.fm will show you what I'm listening to. There are links to most of my sites and social network profiles at ClaimID, Friendfeed and Retaggr.

As Good As It Gets
PG-13
This was a fantastic movie which wouldn't have even happened if the US health system worked.
The New World
PG-13
Visually, this was a beautiful movie. The scenery and the filming was stunning, plus the outfits were amazing. The natural sounds and music were well chosen and used well, with the latter not appearing until they were in settled areas, which I thought was a nice touch. All in all, I felt that the film moved way too slowly and may have been better as a mini-series.
Sicko
PG-13
A big improvement on most Michael Moore movies. This is actually more of a documentary, comparing health systems and collecting anecdotal tricks and tragedies. In France he gets a little drawn off-topic by other government benefits that generally improve lifestyles for the French - I learned about several I didn't know of before.
During the film, there are only a few cliché Michael Mooreisms and they're quite toned down compared to previous movies.
Personally, I think America needs to look at insurance reform as well as health care reform. In Australia, insurers try to give you the run-around a little, but they'd lose their right to sell insurance if they tried the schemes shown in Sicko.
Anyway, it's a great insight into why America is such a scary place to get sick.
The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi

That was great! Beautiful, funny and finished off with a fantastic clog dance/tap dance - Very bollywood. Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for the awesome persussion outfit - they are fantastic. Sort of like Stomp mixed with Scrap Arts Music and every Taikoz band to ever exist. Fantastic.

This is actually a very interesting movie as the stories of the intertwining lives are very believable. Plus, almost everyone in the movie is played by an A-list actor. It's quite a lot of talent.
Little Miss Sunshine
R
I spent the entire movie staring in disbelief. A manufactured dysfunctional family with obvious, hollywood-style, unrealistic character development. Everything they did was just a little too over-the-top and could have been avoided with some thought. In fact, the whole movie would never have happened if only people knew how to drive (or had thought of letting the person who could drive do so from the start).
I could have taken it as silly fun (it's obviously meant to be), but it was just too horrifying. Plus, pagaent girls scare me.
A fantastic lesson in what not to do when you have kids.
