36th Precinct [36 Quai des Orfevres] (2004)
A pretty good cop drama from France. Great to see beautiful Valeria Golino after quite a long time.

Super 8 (2011)
One of the best films of the year so far, IMO. Loved the 80's set up & loved its beautiful & simple story that delivered a fantastic homage to Spielberg's 2 best creations to date. But the interesting thing is while watching & enjoying the film last night, I cared pretty less for a major element of the story...the alien. I really wasn't that much bothered about it...when it'll show up next time on the screen or why it's acting so crazy or what would happen to it later. The thing is the heart of the movie is it's assembling of excellent bunch of child actors who totally carried the film all the way. It's not the alien; it is the character of Joe Lamb and the other kids in the cast who delivered the magic & kept the nostalgic momentum throughout the film. Kudos to them for their marvelous job.
