Tree of Life, The (2011): This is much more about philosophy and religion than it is about entertainment. I found it really interesting, but it would have benefited from being edited down somewhat. My wife found it tedious.
Agora (2009): Found it shallow and pretentious, which is never fun when the subject has real potential for depth. Perhaps a sign that the writer/director lacked real understanding of the subject matter so all he could do was give it the cliched once–over.
Catfish (2010): Interesting to watch in the background while you\'re doing something else, but couldn\'t command my full attention.
What I Have Written (1995): Really enjoyed its twists and turns. I saw this with a friend whose verdict was \"A typical F****** Melbourne movie\". To which I responded, \"What\'s the matter mate, not enough car chases for you?\"
Lantana (2001): I saw this movie many years ago, but I still remember it.
Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, The (2003): An average drama, but made notable by multiple scenes with Helen Mirren at 58 engaged in coitus. Will have the mature male audience transfixed if no–one else.
Boogie Woogie (2009): Not a lot of substance but strangely quite watchable.
Lust and Revenge (1996): Interesting satirical movie and quite amusing. In these days of high def the VHS tape looked a bit fuzzy though.
Red Road (2006): Interesting but a bit slow to start (recommend a bit of fast forward in the first half). The first half was also pretty bleak but it finished strongly.
Head in the Clouds (2004): Head in the Clouds has more plot depth than the synopsis suggests.
