"Amreeka" [fr = "Amerrika"] ~ 8/10

More than a movie about discrimination of Muslims, or war between Israel and Palestine, this beautiful work Talks about motherhood.
A very good point, amongst others, is the use of written "slogans" at several moments, in Palestine and in the USA : "Ich bin ein Berliner" on the great wall around palestinian territories, "God bless America hamgurgers served 24 hours were open minded" in front of an american fast foood restaurant...
The actors are really great, the use of music is intelligent, and we can really feel this presence of two very different Americas : the open minded one, and the one who goes to war.

"Gake no ue no Ponyo" [fr = "Ponyo sur la falaise"] ~ 10/10

Miyazaki's new movie is a turning point in the master's filmography. Now he choosed to really 'explicit' the major theme of his works : sex, and more exactly "making love". This time, among his other recurrent themes (ecology, gods, children's magic...) comes a new one, directly related to sex : fecondity.

"Duplicity" ~ 5/10

After very good screenplays for the Jason Bourne trilogy and a rather good first feature film ("Michael Clayton") as a director, Tony Gilroy makes a new charming movie without much suspense nor tension. The opening battle scene between Wilkinson and Giamatti is a masterpiece of acting, and slow motion, though.

"Chi bi" [fr = "Les 3 Royaumes", aka "Red Cliff"] ~ 7/10

I usually don't like John Woo's melodrama very much but this epic story was simply of amazing beauty. Tony Leung is still handsome at nearly 50, and Kaneshiro is still funny.
I just regret that I only saw the occidental-oriented version - rather than the oriental-oriented version, huhu, smart pun...
Can't wait to see the sequel.

"Frost/Nixon" [fr="Frost / Nixon, l'heure de vérité"] ~ 5/10

Ron Howard's attempt to make a new great biopic like "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" fails when it only copies Clooney's "false documentary" style without bringing anything new to it. Sam Rockwell's acting is always the same (and therefor I don't even know why I like him so much ?). Langella and Sheen are very good, though.

"La véritable histoire du Chat Botté" ~ 4/10

Despite the rather cool cast of voices, this movie is only funny for children, and somewhat lacks of what some animation movies often - ironically - lack : dynamics.

"Venkovský ucitel" [fr = "Country teacher"] ~ 7/10

A beautifully shaped and directed movie with real characters, played by inspired actors, leading to a realistic view of humanity. Some great choices of music too !
