- DirectorLevan BakhiaStarsSterling KnightSpencer LockeKote TolordavaTrapped standing on an armed landmine, an American tourist is forced to watch helplessly while his girlfriend is terrorized and brutally assaulted.Hmm. What to say. A weird circumstances. A bit of comedy, tragedy, gore, horror, psychosis. Not sure if to recommend it. Not quite a horror, but should be on a horror movies list.

- DirectorSally PotterStarsElle FanningAlice EnglertAnnette BeningA look at the lives of two teenage girls - inseparable friends Ginger and Rosa -- growing up in 1960s London as the Cuban Missile Crisis looms, and the pivotal event that comes to redefine their relationship.Nice movie, pleasing looks. Unfinished. Seems more like a first episode of a series.
- DirectorRobin SwicordStarsBryan CranstonJennifer GarnerVictoria BrunoA lawyer on the edge of madness decides to disassociate himself from his own life.Good movie. A bit comic.
- DirectorShamim SarifStarsRebecca FergusonSam ReidCharles DanceIn Cold War Moscow, a female spy steals secrets from an idealistic politician - and falls in love with him.Not bad, but could have been better with the ending. Again, too much gay people.
