Melvin Goes to Dinner (2003)
Absolute Must See Movie
I got the DVD of this in the mail yesterday, went home early, played it all the way through, got a new drink from the kitchen and watched it all the way through a second time.
I don't think I've ever done that before, and I see hundreds of movies a year.
Although maintaining the four-person-play character of the staged production, the guest stars that fill the incidental role are terrific, and their presence just makes more perfect how the entirety of the movie comes together at the end -- which it really does, though a second viewing is helpful in realizing it.
Don't miss this gem!
Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001)
FAST PACED ART
Lightning fast, intelligent, complex comedy with touches of romance without really being a romantic comedy (despite the occasional billing as such). Everything good from the director's "Delicatessen" and "Land of Lost Children" without the weak points of those two movies. May very well be the Best Movie of the year.
