Saw a very intense movie titled The Stoning of Saraya M that was absolutely haunting. Iranian director I think and some Iranian American actors. Not sure where it was made, but it was a courageous movie about the horrifying practice in some muslim countries of stoning for infidelity.
Pitt was excellent in that movie and my pick for the Oscar...IMO his best role ever..I can't remember last time i was at the movies, maybe 15 years or more..I've had netflix for about 4 years and before that Movie Gallery...Think i've seen every movie ever made...lol...we had a movie thread in the Esoteric Central forum several months ago...i've been building a list of movies that i liked over the years, still adding to it...will put it up soon...have to get Michael mclem0822 over here, he's a movie buff too..
A movie he put me on was really off=beat, you remember Frazier's brother
David Hyde Pierce, he's the star in this one The Perfect Host (2011).kept me guessing...check it out...
