My old USC TA, and Emmy-winning editor of Top Chef, Marc Clark sure does know his movies.
To wit:
Did you not catch "Frozen River"? It's the best American Indie I've seen this year. It won Sundance last year.
Have you seen "Let the Right One In"? It's fantastic. The Swedish vampire/childhood love story is haunting and original.
You can skip "Changeling" and "Blindness." They're both horrendous. "The Duchess" is watchable, but ultimately mediocre.
And we'll have to disagree on "Rachel Getting Married." Anne Hathaway was great, but the film lacked a core and any honest raison d'etre.
Two great films I've found on Netflix (via friends) are "The Proposition" (Australian Cowboy movie written and scored by Nick Cave) and "Bus 174" a feature documentary from the writer of "City of God."
