Il divo. Faaantastic. A beautiful movie filmographically speaking, the scenes, the music, the humor of the screenplay. It's a highly creative portrayal of a subject that is far less whimsical, namely Giulio Andreotti (the previous Berlusconi, if you will). A must watch if you're interested in the political life of Italy (a pretty arcane topic I grant you).
Much like Berlu, he was the connected man, with the mafia doing his dirty work, escaping prosecution and so on. But in a time of.. well.. "respectability". He was the head of the Christian Democrats, a party that was destroyed in a huge corruption scandal and which doesn't exist anymore. So there's also the Vatican angle here, which backs him up.

Watched the original Indiana Jones trilogy (spread out over a few days obviously). I'm pretty sure I had already seen some of it (at least some bits & pieces) back when I was an incredibly cute kid, but this was the first time I really "watched" them.
I can't understand why these are so highly rated & critically acclaimed.
The first one has its moments, but is so damn repetitive it gets quite boring & annoying.
The second one is even worse. Sure, some of the action scenes are watchable but what really ruins it, is the most annoying movie kid ever. I just kept wishing he would die a horrible death.
The third one is still not a great movie, but it's the best of the lot. Just because of the fact that some of the silly stuff (or jokes, if you will) actually worked, unlike in the previous 2 parts. Plus, I learned a valuable lesson while watching this: Never trust a Nazi.
I don't think I'm gonna like part 4 with Shila Beef either, but I will watch it anyway

i've been meaning to watch it as i've had it on my hard disk for over a year now but never found the mood or time to sit thru it. will def give it a go once i finish my exams.
yup that was a great movie!!
Hachi 
there is part 2 i look forward to watching that! hope the cast from road trip one are in this one.
edit: just checked jbf and its a totally new cast
its like american pie 4 to what ever they reached now. they ruined a perfectly funny series of movies after they milked the idea out. non the less will give this one a go and see if its as funny as the first one or not.
