A Serious Man
Some time ago , I've seen a great black comedy , directed by Coen Brothers called "A Serious Man " . Really good plot , but reading what is it about , you can say it's boring , cos nothing special happens . Though some scenes are killing like reapeted phrase : "Sy Abelman?" ( people who saw that movie will know what I mean), or the motive with dreams of the main character , what causes that on the end you don't know if it's his dream , or not . I really recommend it . Anyone who has the ability to see "A Serious Man" , should see it. Anyone saw that?

Re: A Serious Man
The Coens are geniuses. Apart from their re-imagining of The Ladykillers

With The Ladykillers , you are right . Nothing beats the movie from 1955, with Alec Guiness and Peter Sellers ( which were geniuses ) . The Coens' remake had one good point: Tom Hanks .

I've just started with the second season of Merlin. I don't have BBC myself at home in Hungary (I do have BBC world, but that's not really what I need...), so my uncle recorded the season for me (he and my aunt are both huge Merlin-fans ), and I finally get to see it! I got to the first three episodes this afternoon... 8)
Thing is, I've read some Arthur-books, and did a lot of research, 'cause I find the story interesting, and the whole is just so sad and mean... That's why I like the BBC interpretation. You almost believe, that Merlin has a chance to love, and Arthur and , and that Morgana is quite OK... I like it much better than what's written in history-books. And, considerd that people even doubt that King Arthur ever existed, it's easier to believe just a little bit of it...

I've just watched 'Gangs of New York' - which was really interesting as Sharlene and I have recently been reading about the early days of the city and the corruption and violence that went on there.
THE LAST AIRBENDER!! I was a huge fan of the animation-series already, and I couldn't wait for the movie, but finally, he is here! Sadly, it's only one and a half hour, and they left out a lot of adventures which'd have been fun to watch, but I think it was not so bad... maybe not a verrrry interesting movie if you don't know the background-story, but still...

Can't wait till they release the third season, although I don't know when that'll be...
