Baaria, sweeping epic covering decades of life and politics in Sicily. Liked that it showed you things rather than lots of explaining, but the editing style at times made it seem like a very long trailer.

Cosmopolis, I remember thinking it was interesting when I first saw it, but somehow on the second watching it didn't really stand up.

War for the Planet of the Apes, easily my favorite film so far this year. Finally a Planet of the Apes film that, in my opinion, matches, or comes close to, the 1968 original.

A very beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent, and epic science-fiction film, in addition the insanely stunning visuals, musical score, and acting from the cast are all amazing. Namely Andy Serkis, who did a great job of making me connect emotionally with a freaking chimpanzee.

Shane Meadows' thriller is, in many respects, a classic revenge western, but with the action taking place in the Derbyshire town of Matlock in 2004 rather than the 19th century western frontier. Violent, nasty, and thoroughly gripping.

ジャックと豆の木, also known as Jack and the Beanstalk.

A Japanese animated film based on the fairytale. But more surreal and strange.

From the 1970s. Of course.

Sex Mission. A cult 80s Polish comedy. Two men, cryogenically frozen in 1991, wake up in 2044. They find out that 50 years earlier, all other men were wiped out, and women breed by partenogenesis. Their main objective becomes reintroducing the usual way of procreation.

Kinda underwhelming.
