The Apartment

Apartment
R2 UK DVD



This is one of those movies which showed how GREAT Jack Lemmon was. Very subtle and romantic. This is my favorite film with favorite actor, and I love Shriley MacLaine.

Comandante
R2 UK DVD



Oliver Stone likes to do what he wants, and pays little attention to what is considered appropriate. Fidel was certainly not an ordinary man. For those reasons, this movie is simply unavailable in the US. It should be noted that the movie in question is not just a movie, it's an interview too. UK is one of the places where you can get it.
It's a pity that the continuation (some second interview) is only available in big Oliver Stone boxset, but not separately.

Japanese bonus disc (the sixth one) is also there in the box.

Bee Movie

Bee Movie
R2 UK DVD


A satiric portrayal of our society and where can excessive legal notoriety lead.
This 2-disc edition is labeled as exclusive to Amazon.co.uk (I suppose in UK), but in content it is very similar to US SE.

Snow Cake

Snow Cake
R2 UK DVD


A very nice movie with Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver. It's not of 'big' kind of movies, but instead it is very warm-hearted.

The Number 23

Quite good thriller with Jim Carrey. It one of the non-typical characters for him (others are Man on the Moon, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and maybe The Truman Show).
