First of all 2 films set in Japan. Memoirs of a Geisha - set in the 1930/40's its a beautifully shot story of a young girl raised to become a Geisha. It reminded me of The Hidden Blade a film I'd seen sometime in 2008. Both stories are about honour, service and obediance, and of course love. Of the two I prefer The Hidden Blade - its story is more subtle.
The Reader - Kate Winslett earned a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actress award for her role in this new release. At one point in the film she asks the question 'What would you have done?' which has made me think about my attitudes to the world around me.
Metallica: Some Kind of Monster - a fascinating documentary from 2004 about the near breakup of the band, its recovery and return to touring promoting St. Anger.
