Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives - or "Uncle Boonman" as the woman introducing it said at one point. Have to admit I was perplexed at the last 15 minutes, and generally wish I knew more about specific Thai cultural references in "Joe's" films; but man, I can't think of anyone else even close to making films this unpredicatable. I don't think many people who are interested are going to miss this if it plays near them, but see it in a theater for the dark natural lighting if you can. Also, there's a sequence that should make every person on this board think of Andy from Lake Newbridge.
The Fighter - not much more than a diversion, in my opinion. Bale was good but I didn't think he deserved to win anything over John Hawkes for Winter's Bone.
Carlos - The first 3 1/2 hours are as well-made as you may have heard, but the last two can really wear you down. It seems to me that kind of meticulous approach is the right one for a biopic of this sort though. By the end there's no mistaking him for a glamorous figure.
