Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Will Charlie Kaufman ever do a movie outside of someone's mind? Don't care if they're all like this

Lost in Translation (2003)
Its a bittersweet comedy. Take that as its bitter, its sweet, its funny, its painful. Its pretty darned good, I'd say

Last Samurai, The (2003)
Despite Cruise being out-acted by everyone from a kid to Ken Watanabe (Oscar-worthy surely) and a diluted sappy ending, it was pretty good, surprisingly (that is, for a Cruise film). Gotta love the 'Japanese' custom of going cold turkey though...

I Am Sam (2001)
This movie probably had to be banned from aeroplanes - for using up to many sick bags. Truly one of the most dire, awful, unbearable movies i've seen in a long time

On Stage:
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Awww..what can I say. Toe-tapping fun :-) Except the childcatcher was just NOT SCARY - How can they do that? After years of nightmares from the original movie, the stage show has toned him down. The cowards. I wanted to see 200 kids bawl their eyes out and scream like hell in the audience
Jerry Springer - The Opera
Seen twice and counting. You crack whore, slut junkie. I've been seeing someone else I TELL YA
Arthur Miller's The Price
Great production, but not overwhelmed by the vaudeville act (you'll know what I mean if you see it). Larry Lamb is fantastic though.
