1. Babette's feast - 3.5-4 stars... simple story, well shot, well acted. Amazing looking food. the simplicity of the story is the main feature that will 'get' you.

2. Born into brothels - 3.5 stars. One woman's crusade to get prostitutes' kids educated. decently enuf made. soundtrack cud have been better. the kids are the main attraction of this film.

3. American splendor - 3.5 stars. Cynical humor type of movie. Black humour. The leads are good so they make the movie move faster than it is. Interesting true story.
