Let the Right One In
Let the Right One In (2008) - Rated 17 Oct 2010
One of the best horror films in a long, long time. Particularly impressive because it is able to tell a love story between two children more effectively than most films are able to do with adults. It is also incredibly beautiful and poignant.

Ikiru
Ikiru (1952) - Rated 25 May 2007
Absolutely magnificent film that is one of my favorites. One of the few motion pictures that will make you look at life in a different way afterwards. Inspiring.

Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland (2010) - Rated 06 Mar 2010
One of the biggest and most spectacular of failures I have seen in recent years, Alice in Wonderland is Burton's attempt to make Carroll's story for the goth crowd. The father issues continue, as do the themes of isolation and "individuality" (basically being pale and childlike passes as different in Burton's book). Johnny Depp also gives another gut-wrenching performance while the plot goes nowhere. Easily Burton's worst film he's ever made. Don't waste your money.
