Some good ones there indeed! I haven't seen Prospero's Books yet, i'm gonna borrow it from uni tomorrow me thinks :) Did you like it?
Also what did you think of Happiness- I quite like Todd Solondz even though his films are wacked up. I'm writing an essay on experimental cinema and have to focus on Paranoid Park and I freaking can't stand Van Sant's 'experimental' films! What is experimental about his films?! Ok, i went off on a tangent. Pineapple Express is actually the greatest movie... it's the story of my life :P

LOL! Speaking of experimental, Prospero's Books is very experimental indeed. Visually speaking. It's quite a complicated movie, but we know Greenaway is complicated. I think I have to rewatch it since I was quite sleepy in class that day!
As for Happiness, I liked it. Not the usual movie. It's the only Solodnz movie I've watched, but I think I'll watch Life during wartime soon since it's still in cinemas.
