Has anyone seen the movie Sabah with Arsinée Khanjian and David Alpay?

Battle of Algiers 10/10

I love the scene where the little boy steals the microphone and inspires the people.

I love the scene where the little boy steals the microphone and inspires the people.

That was a good scene. I also like the scenes of how they show the faces of the normal French folks just sitting wining, dining, dancing, in the cafes, bars, etc., of how you can least expect on a regular day for an explosion to pop out.

I should add that I love the way Jean Martin played Col. Mathieu - calm, confident, and sophisticated. He had an aura of coolness exuding.

Yeah, although that crazy, old, obviously-Algerian woman was lucky to get through the checkpoint. Stewpid French officers.

Well the French as usual are the worst in terms of military competence. Throw in some women, wine and music and you can easily distract the French.

Which is why the Germans kicked their ass.

We're nearing that time of the year when they start releasing "Oscarbait" movies like In Her Shoes, which looks shitty, but not quite as shitty as An Unfinished Life, which is directed by Lasse Hallstrom, the king of Oscarbait films. These films will contend and probably fail to win the big prizes despite being nominated in many categories.

A History of Violence, however, looks good. I'll be seeing that one.

That looks promising. I always liked Vigo Mortensen.

I can't wait for A History of Violence. I've been anticipating that one for many months. It's going to be at the Arclight and I'll be there on the first goddamn day.
