Dean Spanley: the best movie of the year. Sam Neill deserves an Oscar. So does Peter O'Toole. What casting, what story, what acting. Brilliant. Newfound respect for dogs.
Daytime Drinking*: one of the best coming of age movies, pointless and celebrating halcyon post-college days. The cinematography of the young guy alone in his box-like room in the guesthouse perfectly describes what men really love - sloth.
Beetle: about an Israeli guy with a very pregnant wife who drives to Jordan to repair his crumbling VW Beetle. Halfway through the movie, you want to join the wife and m-i-l and bash him up.
Berlin Song (seen separately): they can try all they want, but Berlin ain't no New York. But the one butch girl among the 6 musicians portrayed has a voice to watch for. I have the CD, if anyone wants it.
Promised Land: disturbing docu-drama on the sex trade from E. Europe to Israel. Amos Gitai is a bit of a dick and dissed my date during the Q&A, but a good movie nonetheless. Rosamund Pike is... phew.
Thor at the Bus Stop: a rather offbeat, low-budget flick shot in Las Vegas. Can't say I got it. But it had its moments.

* I keep saying "dreaming", when it should be "drinking". A lot of that in the move.

12 hour movie marathon??? Well done. Reminds me of the time I watched all three Lord of the Rings back to back.
10 hours of sleep was definitely NOT preferred to watching hot men prancing around the screen.
