Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was great, very entertaining. I enjoyed it. Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush both did a great job, they stole the scenes

Watched it last night, worth every penny.
A lot of people seem to like Equilibrium. Weird, I absolutely hated it.
No One Knows About Persian Cats - Well worth watching, really interesting. Uplifting & sad at the same time.
Other than that, it was chick flick time: Elizabethtown (unlike most people, I like it), The Last Kiss (feels "true") & Bikini Girls on Ice (yeah, don't ask
)

Oh and speaking of Cannes festival,
Controversial Director Lars von Trier Banned From Cannes Film Festival
Following some rather colorful remarks from controversial Danish director Lars von Trier, the Cannes Film Festival declared him a persona non grata on Thursday (May 19), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Von Trier raised more than a few eyebrows when he made some off-the-cuff comments at the press conference for his new film 'Melancholia' starring Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg. A verbal jab at fellow Danish filmmaker and rival Susanne Bier somehow mutated into an anti-Semitic rant in which he claimed that he is "actually a Nazi," he "sympathize with [Hitler] a bit" and him macabrely joking about his next film, "We Nazis like to do things on a big scale. Maybe I could do 'The Final Solution.'"
His dark sense of humor was clearly lost on Cannes' board of directors, who, despite a swift apology from the director, held a meeting today and voted to blacklist von Trier from the festival. In a statement they said, "The board of directors profoundly regrets that this forum has been used by Lars von Trier to express comments that are unacceptable, intolerable, and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the very existence of the festival. The Board of Directors firmly condemns these comments and declares Lars von Trier a persona non grata at the Festival de Cannes, with effect immediately."
Shortly after the press conference, Von Trier issued a statement: "If I have hurt someone by the words I said at the press conference, I sincerely apologize. I am not anti-Semitic or racially prejudiced in any way, nor am I a Nazi."
It wasn't the only comment that had people squirming at the junket. He also made Dunst visibly uncomfortable when he put his star's personal life on blast, saying, "I would say Kirsten, thank god, has some knowledge of depression. We talked a lot about how things should look and I think she is doing extremely well." Dunst went to rehab for depression in 2008.
Von Trier is famous for making critically acclaimed, but incredibly dark and oft controversial, films such as 'Breaking the Waves,' 'Dogville' and 'Dancer in the Dark.' 'Melancholia' has been very well-received so far, with several critics hailing it as "mesmerizing" and a "masterpiece."

I watched the HBO film Too Big To Fail last night, and it was relatively interesting apart from the fact they glorified Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke for scaring Congress into bailing out the banks. It makes them look like heros, which is a complete rewrite of history. What a sham. At least they picked a good acting crew, though.
Mulholland Dr.
What the hell? I spent 2hrs 15mins watching it and it made no sense whatsoever to me. Seriously, did anybody watch that and knew what went on without reading up on it? Just weird.
I'm gonna check what it's about now.
You know, dreams in movies are unfair and cheap. The story doesn't have to make any sense and they can say it's because it was all a dream.
