    Hi, I watched two movies (they're only on DVD--I finally broke down and got one) that were the best I've seen in a while: House of Sand and Fog (Ben Kingsley & Jennifer Connelly about an Iranian general lives in America) Human Stain (Anthony Hopkins & Nicole Kidman; based on a novel by Phillip Roth) Just in case you're interested in either. They're both profound character development and excellent acting and cineamaphotography. No more, because I don't want to spoil it if you watch them. Does anyone know any others similar to these? They were absolutely fantastic. Btw, Ebert and Roeper give both Cheers! Pat

    House of Sand & Fog is a great movie. I haven't seen the other one though... Have you seen the Life of David Gale? That is a pretty profound movie.

    The Pianist

    K-Pax

    One flick I'd recommend is City of God. It's a crime drama and contains some harsh scenes, but the cinematography is first class and the acting is very well done by the young cast. It's no longer in theaters, but is available on-line on dvd.

    Another that I just saw recently is A Home at the End of the World. It's a good movie, which is all I can say about it without saying too much. Very touching.
