    "Ararat" was catered for an audience that is different from the "regular" Egoyan audience, and I can't say that "Ararat" is my favorite Egoyan. Actually, I am unable to answer the question: "What is my favorite Egoyan?" but, I know that "Family Viewing" - that made me discover him - is the one that impressed me most. I did not watch it again, and I don't remember enough to say whether it would be my favorite or not??? I appreciated the marriage of the old and new technologies, his editing techniques, the infusion of Armenian music and dialogues in the movie etc.

            The Number 23 is an interesting film. I can't say it's amazing because there's so much to the story they could have improved to get the overall message across. Plus I still can't forgive Schumacher for what he did to Batman. Ever.

            I just finished watching What Lies Beneath, I had not seen it for years. 8/10.
