Filmcap: The week of May 22-29



A great week of movies this week. Two really good brand new yet-to-be-released 2011 films (sure to be two of the years most talked about amongst some circles), and then one movie released more than 50 years ago just to spice things up. Two great new filmmakers, and one all time great.

Filmcap: The week of April 24-May 1


Still a few days behind with this one because of finals, but they are now over thankfully. Finals are also why only 3 movies this week and expect something of the same for the next filmcap. This week though does feature a nice variety. A colorful Spanish film, a black-and-white American film, and a samurai Japanese western.

Filmcap: The week of Feb 6-13



This week I watched a couple great foreign movies from the late 50's (Bergman and Kurosawa), what is known as the first ever film noir, a contemporary movie about an infamous African dictator, a fascinating documentary, and an also fascinating TV movie.
