Some movies I've seen recently that I really enjoyed:
Thank You For Smoking: Wicked satirical humor. My favorite scene is the one where the three lobbyist buddies argue about which of their clients is the most lethal to the American public.
Friends With Money: Not a lot happens, exactly, but the acting and dialogue are wonderful, and somehow very true to life.
V For Vendetta: I forgive the Wachowsky brothers for Matrices parts 2 and 3. I actually liked this film a heckofalot better than the widely praised first Matrix. The political commentary is timely (and not overdone), and there's a fairy-tale element (Brothers Grimm, not Disney) to it as well that gives it some emotional resonance.
Three good movies! Go figure!
