hbo: cape cod heroin. damn, thats crazy

Really good doc. I've been going through a lot of HBO's older drug documentaries on HBONOW lately -- lots of good stuff there.

If you can watch PBS shows in Canada, I'd also recommend the Frontline episode "Chasing Heroin".

seems to be the consensus from just about everyone i know who's seen it. definitely not in a rush to see it. the fact that they released it in february wasn't really a good sign

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2 is available today on Netflix

there's a few great bits, emphasis on 'few'.

Scarlett Johansson was super, but she had like 2 minutes screen time.

All the Coen films with Cloney are kinda meh maybe?

didn't really like O Brother, and there was this other one, I think it was that came out after No Country, which was pretty bad.

edit: Burn After Reading.... meh

also intolerable cruelty is pure garbage but i think that's only one cohen.

i seem to recall liking obrother but i was an early teen i think when it came out.

Lady Killers?

lucky for them big lebowski redeems all

both 10/10

big short.

heavyhandedbutstillenlightening/10

I made it 25 minutes into knight of cups

horrible

frontline just did a 2 hour thing called chasing heroin (watch here). it follows some addicts like the cape cod one but it gets into a bunch of other aspects to the problem.

Embrace of the Serpent....scored a lucky viewing over le weekend, outstanding film making

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4285496/

follows an Amazonian shaman's experience with incomers from 2 temporal perspectives - 1 via many moons ago and then summat contemporary, comparing the cultural as well as environmental impact of encroaching "civilization". The b&w adds an ethereal quality with the odd moment of colour illuminating moments beautifully.

if you see it listed go for the big screen experience, an immense piece of cinema
