The Limey: Steven Soderbergh hits all the right notes in this tale of vengeance. After first testing radical intercutting of scenes in Out of Sight, Soderbergh raises the practice to a new level in this film, and it works beautifully. This film is also unpredictable and surprising at several different points, something which can be said of very few action/suspense films in these times. (Alas.) [I should add, if you've never seen the aforementioned Out of Sight, it's a masterful thriller romance based on a novel by Elmore Leonard. Much better than the more well known Leonard-based Get Shorty (which is still a cute movie), you owe it to yourself to rent O.o.S. ASAP if you haven't seen it already.]
Delicatessen: Jeunet and Caro collaborated first on this ultra-odd comedy of limited foodstuffs. Dominique Pinon is quite charming as the former clown and now handyman of a very strange apartment building. I'm not sure I learned anything new by watching this film again, but it certainly put a smile on my face.
