Fantastic Mr. Fox - very nice. Funny how they all keep changing size throughout the film. I liked the relationship between Ash and Kristofferson.

The dialogue and lack of music in the film kinda reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite for some reason. Had a very surreal and almost awkward vibe to it.

The Machinist - Love that film. Really uncomfortable viewing, in a good way....

Dark Knight Rises - Bliss. Bane was sweeeeeeeet!

....And Nunchucks are my friends.

the Fantastic Mr. Fox and the Dark Knight Rises are both awesome.

As for me:

TrollHunter - fun little Norwegian lost-footage film about a group of teenagers making a documentary for their school and meeting up with a troll hunter. It's more comedy than horror, but a lot of fun.

Lars and the Real Girl - loved this one. In a way the main character is very relatable. Ryan Gosling plays a dude who has some issues to work out and starts believing a Realdoll he ordered is his real - as in living - girlfriend. His friends and family are hesitant at first, but try to support him.

Silent Hill - not great, but I'm a fan of the games and I love the visuals.

Snow Cake and If You Could Say It In Words
i had issues with snow cake but i thought it was a fair representation of an autist.

"Le Harve" by Aki Kaurismaki - this film is very much in his style of deadpan, almost humorless humor. This film is a bit more political than his usual stuff and, while touching, I feel the social politics of it leaves me a bit less interested (even though I agree with his political point of view.)

At any rate, don't exepect "Leningrad Cowboys Go America" because "Le Harve" is more in keeping with films like "Man without a Past" or "Lights in the Dusk". It's a good film, but very low key and not to everyone's tastes.

I'm not quite certain how I feel about the ending. In some ways a darker ending might have worked, but I also think that might have made the film unbearable. I'm sort of glad he went with an ending that might not have been brutally realistic.

Around the World in 80 Days with Jackie Chan in it. It was ok.

Ever look through the bargain bins in stores to see what's under $5? And then pick up some weird movie that you never heard of and buy it just because? The Lost Tribe is one I found. Not as bad as what amazon people were saying, but it was fun.

mozart and the whale. i had major issues with this film but i still really liked it. donald was cute. it is the first film involving an autist where the autist is the main character and the main person controlling the story(as opposed to being a plot device) that i have watched and where they weren't infantalised, had their sexuality adressed and ended up with a love interest and in a relationship at the end of the film. i think that outweighs the negatives. plus i could relate to donald and even mozart(i do not recall her name) a little.

Where Eagles Dare

Like Kelly's Heroes, This is a World War II movie with Clint Eastwood. Pretty good, but a few too many plot twists for my taste.

Blindness

The Dark Knight Rises.

Just finished watching "God Bless America" on netflix - sort of a serial killer comedy / road movie. The main character seems very Aspie-like, and Tara Lynne Barr was certainly enjoyable to watch, as well...
