Beautiful.
Love movies such as Life of Pi and this one.

I didn't know this had been made, I loved the story when I was a kid and the 1950 documentary was good. Looks like this one might have had a touch of hollywood treatment and the cover art's a bit off-putting but I'll give it a go anyway, cheers.
Not seen Pi either but enjoyed the novel. Can't really imagine it being faithfully made into a movie as there's so much internal stuff in it.

Not a big Trier fan, but to my surprise i liked most of Melancholia. Especially the last half.

I'm pretty new to Trier but I did enjoy this. The production and style reminded me a lot of the Film4 productions of the early-mid 90s that I really loved. Will definitely be finding more of his films.

I was thinking of getting this, I thought it sounded pretty good too. It seems to have mixed reviews and I read something about it being a "safe" portrayal of Nazi Germany whatever that means. Well I think I can guess what it means but I don't know if that necessarily makes it a bad film...
Yesterday I watched
The Mist (2007)
Horror sci-fi based on a Stephen King story. I thought it very good - decent plot, great monsters and the whole thing nicely done. The only downside really was the ending which although a good idea I found a bit too contrived and unconvincing to have the impact that it might have done.
