What I've been watching lately

Inglourious Basterds

Very Tarantino, an intoxicating mix of humour and gratuitous bloodshed. Maybe not for everyone, but I certainly loved it.

Milk

This film about gay rights was very touching - and while it's a must-see for gay people interested in gay rights history, I'd recommend it even if you're not. I generally don't expect much from biopics, but this one was surprisingly good.

Rent

Not exactly a new movie, but since I picked up the DVD I've watched it too many times. Like all musical-turned-films it's a bit camp but that's fine when the outlook of the world isn't sugar-coated and happy. Quite possibly my favourite movie ever!
