SUBSCRIBEMovies watched: January 08, Part 2 of 3
January 2008 was a bit productive with around 22 full feature films and 3 shorts (under Eros) that have been watched either in theaters and, mostly, at home. 11 came from North America with two from Canada, the rest from the US. Four from Europe: UK, France, Italy and Spain. The last is set in Canada and acted Canadians but produced in Spain with a Spanish lady director. Asia is represented by 2 Japanese films (the second a sequel), Thai, my second film watched from Thailand (the first was in Bangkok which was Nang Nak). Of course, I had a marathon movie watching, all by one of my favorite directors: Wong Kar Wai.
American Gangster and Le Souffle au Coeur are just wonderful and beautiful movies! As for the two Death Notes, I’m just fascinated with terrific horror stories from the Land of the Rising Sun.
