Excellent obscure eighties horror movie in which a mentally unstable woman discovers a carpenter renovating her home, but curiously he only works at night. The mood of the movie is a touch surreal, much of the technical stuff is uneven, but this one's definetively a precisely made cut above other cheapos of the period.

Wreck-It Ralph 2012
Awash in nostalgia and utilizing its arcade-game-as-world premise cleverly, this is nearly great, but seems a bit soulless until its affecting third act. It seems a waste to spend so much time in a Candyland-like setting with lots of candy references when you have thirty years of computer games to pay homage two. And what's the deal with all the product placement (besides the games, that is)?

Lotte and the Moonstone Secret 2011
Reminiscent of Myazaki or Tove Jansson at their most silly, this strange little children's movie is a bit of a gem - stuffed to the brim with three- eared rabbits, tasty raindrops, underwater pancakes and a dream sequence worthy of Neil Gaiman. The odd mixture of 2D, eastern european style animation and 3D landscapes is interesting too. Best movie ever from Estonia?

Half Moon 2006
A famous kurdish musician gets to hold a concert in Iraq to celebrate the relative peace after the fall of Saddam. The catch: he needs to get into Iraq with his thirteen sons and smuggle in his female singer. Also, he's got one foot in the grave, almost literarily.
The touches of magic realism and wry humor makes this worth watchin, but it's not quiet as moving/magical/funny as it could have been. And crucially there's not enough of the beautiful music.
