Last thing I saw in the cinema was Brick and it was really good. It was directed by a first time director though, not the dude who did Donnie Darko. His new one is called Southland Tales or something like that and it's some crazy musical or somesuch. Could be awful.
Last night I watched Fata Morgana which is the oddest film I've seen for a while and the oddest Werner Herzog film I've seen which is saying something. The first part was a collection of desert images with Lotte Eisner (German film critic lady) reading parts of the Popol Vuh (some Guatemalan creation myth) over the top of. Then more desert stuff later with some people talking about lizards and turtles. Sort of like a precursor to Koyanisquatsi without the obvious environmental message.
