#18 "Once"

This was a beautiful little film with spectacular music. The film doesn't feel forced to follow standard romantic drama formulas, and it makes for such a refreshing experience. My only complaint is the camera work which appears to be all done on a hand-held, which causes it to be very jumpy. It took me about an hour to get used to it, and i even felt a bit woozy at times. I think i was the rare case on this though.

Highly Recommended

#17 "Black Sheep"

If you are thinking to yourself, wasn't "Black Sheep" that sort of funny Farley/Spade follow-up to "Tommy Boy" You wouldn't be wrong. It is however also the title of a monster film to come out of New Zealand. I think the imdb.com key plot word some this up fairly well: Experiment Gone Wrong, Sheep, Death, Mutant, Creature.
A very funny yet stomach-turning film where some genetically mutated sheep go nuts and start killing everyone. The horror of it reminded me of the last good movie Peter Jackson made, "Dead/Alive" (US title)
My only complaint was that the "low-brow" jokes were a bit heavy-handed and would have been funnier if they had been more subtle. Overall a good film though.

#16 "Live Free or Die Hard"

Well this was an enjoyable popcorn movie. As the rating system says it has "non-stop action violence." They crash every sort of vehicle into every other sort throughout the film. Planes into cars, cars into helicopters, cars into cars, trucks into cars, spaceships into submarines, well maybe not the last but you get the point. If you want to see a movie where a lot of stuff blows up. This is the one for you.
