Walker says he won't pursue union legislation in next session
Gov. Scott Walker signaled he wouldn't pursue any new bills on public or private unions in the coming legislative session and wouldn't touch the issue of right-to-work legislation until it had been debated as part of an election.
In a meeting with editors and reporters of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Friday, the Republican governor also set a high standard for approving a potential off-reservation tribal casino in Kenosha if it first received the needed go-ahead from the federal government.
Walker said he told legislative leaders from his party that he saw more labor legislation as a "huge distraction" from his core priorities of boosting the state's economy, improving schools and training workers for needed jobs. He said it would hurt job growth in the state to have another round of bitter debate like the one that accompanied his mea sure in March 2011 to repeal most collective bargaining for most public workers, leading to the unsuccessful effort to recall him this year. »Read Full Article(363)

After a one-month break, employees in Wisconsin can be rehired to their job or another government position and collect their full pension on top of wages for the new post.

Citizens vent to officials over police accountability
The Police Department, Fire and Police Commission and district attorney's office need to be more accountable, citizens told elected officials Friday during a public hearing.
"It's unacceptable," said Ruben Anderson, whose words echoed those of many at the meeting. "We talk about it, we have these rallies, but nothing gets better. Our Police Department, the vast majority of them, they are bent on doing wrong. They're incapable of change. What has to change is our community leadership."
State Sen. Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee) scheduled the meeting after the commission voted to reinstate an officer who punched a handcuffed woman in the face. Amid a public outcry, the commission reversed itself and fired the officer, Richard Schoen. But its change of heart did little to quiet outrage that has been building for months. »Read Full Article(42)

Walker backs shift to mental health community care
Calling Milwaukee County's Mental Health Complex "old and busted," Gov. Scott Walker said Friday he backed efforts to switch more patients to community care.
Walker called suggestions that the state revoke the county's hospital license and take over the complex "a good leverage point" and "something to consider." But he didn't take a firm position for or against such a dramatic move.
State intervention has been called for by Disability Rights Wisconsin, a federally chartered patient advocacy group, and Joe Sanfelippo, a newly elected state representative and a Milwaukee County supervisor. Problems at the complex are so severe and the pace of reform so slow that the state should step in, according to the disability rights group and Sanfelippo, who chaired a county panel that examined the complex in Wauwatosa following instances of patient sexual assaults that surfaced in 2010. »Read Full Article(45)

State reviewing Milwaukee's request for more demolition funds
With hundreds of blighted homes on the "must-raze" list in Milwaukee, and hundreds more expected to join the list for years to come, city officials are looking for ways to pay for the demolitions.
When assistant attorneys general from several states, as well as banking regulators and federal agencies, reached a settlement with five large banks and mortgage servicers accused of mortgage abuses, Wisconsin received a $140 million share. That gave Milwaukee and other large cities in the state some hope the money would be used to ease the foreclosure crisis.
But with an expected budget shortfall, Republicans officials decided against dedicating all the money to assisting troubled homeowners. »Read Full Blog Post(32)

On the road to learning
by Raju Gandhi
We, as developers, live and thrive in an industry which not only sees its languages, tools, and techniques change every few years, but one that also regularly experiences tectonic shifts in the very paradigms upon which these tools are built! From desktop to web to mobile, from object-oriented to functional programming, we are not only expected to keep abreast of these changes, but also be proficient in them. How can we keep up? How can we best leverage our time to learn and retain knowledge effectively? In this article, we will consider a few strategies to help align ourselves with being a better student, and we'll also take a look at some tools and techniques that can make our learning more meaningful, insightful, and long-lasting.
Refactoring to Modularity
by Kirk Knoernschild
The patterns of modular architecture help you design software systems that are more extensible, maintainable, and easily understandable. In the first of this two part series, we'll explore how to apply several of the patterns by refactoring a monolithic application to a more modular architecture.
RESTful Groovy
by Kenneth Kousen
The JAX-RS 2.0 specification, which will be released as part of Java EE 7, provides annotations for building RESTful web services. It says very little about hypermedia, however. This article shows how JAX-RS web services can be implemented using standard Groovy simplifications and includes hypermedia through structural links, transitional links, and a MessageBodyWriter.
Getting Started with D3.js
by Brian Sletten
It is an exceptionally fun time for JavaScript based data visualization. There is a surplus of toolkits, frameworks and approaches. Some are canvas-based. Some rely on SVG. One of the most powerful and compelling approaches is D3, based on the author's time at the Stanford Visualization Group. This article will be an introduction to the powerful, declarative, and data-driven approach provided by the D3.js framework.
A Message From the Publisher
Jay Zimmerman - creator of the No Fluff Just Stuff Tour Series
First, let me take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of No Fluff Just Stuff. The emphasis of this magazine is all about quality content just like our software conference series. For those of you not familiar with the No Fluff Just Stuff Symposium series let me share a little history. I started NFJS in 2002 to offer high quality technical content in a conference format and offered in over 30 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada. The credo of NFJS is simply: Local Venue, World Class Conference. NFJS offers individuals the opportunity to attend an outstanding conference right in your own backyard whether you live in Milwaukee, or Denver, just to name a few. The NFJS conference series is focused on great technical content(stuff) and little to no fluff - advertising, vendors, etc...
NFJS, the Magazine is an eclectic mix of articles centered on software development and all that entails. Whether you are a developer, architect or manager, you should find all of the articles in NFJS interesting and enlightening. All of the article authors are speakers on the No Fluff Just Stuff Tour and published thereby insuring a great read. We want this magazine to be time efficient for the reader. To me, NFJS the Magazine is all about outstanding content that is easily consumable. The other great thing about the format of this magazine is that you can easily read articles out of sequence over the months and refer back to something anytime. Unlike traditional magazines, NFJS has a much longer shelf life and makes a great reference source.

After interviews with 86 cancer caregivers and dozens more touched in various ways by the disease, Deborah Cornwall was ready to put her evolving project on paper. A breast cancer survivor herself, Cornwall had spent years contemplating and preparing to write a book unlike anything that existed.
It's no secret that good nutrition is a key component in breast health and disease prevention. But sometimes it takes a little reminding as to what good nutrition really is, and there is no better time for a primer than during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Downtown Norwich business Harp & Dragon installed a 3000 sq ft. pink "We Support You" banner Thursday morning for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Owner Scott Capano and daughter Julianna Capano, 19 months, watch as Chris Ivory adorns the business with the sign from a bucket truck.
Doctors have tools to help estimate a woman's personal risk, but women who get breast cancer sometimes have no known risk factors besides age. Many women with one or more risk factors never get breast cancer. So it's impossible to know who will actually get the disease.
As a radiation oncologist at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt Kisco, N.Y., Dr. Elizabeth Chabner Thompson sees cancer patients day in and day out. But Thompson's knowledge of breast cancer is not limited to the hospital room — the physician's own life has been touched by the disease in many ways.
In 1980, at 34 years old, Janelle Hail was facing breast cancer — a disease most women only whispered about. So when she beat it, she wanted to help change the status quo. In 1991, she founded the National Breast Cancer Foundation, which counts as its main mission providing free mammograms and other screening exams for women who can't afford them.
Whether you are doing good for the cause or doing good for you and your loved ones, there are tons of ways to raise breast cancer awareness this month. Here are 31 ideas, one for each day of October:
In their own words, breast cancer survivors offer insight on challenges they faced, how they overcame them, and what advice they offer for those who are newly diagnosed.
The headline: You can lower your risk for breast cancer even if you have a family history.
Breast cancer treatment often involves more than one approach. The treatment plan your doctor suggests will be based on several factors, such as:

BBC Sherlock
was really good. I had been skeptical about the concept, but they handled it really well as they updated it to modern times. It makes me even more excited to watch
Doctor Who
I wonder why it took me so long to watch this. Thoroughly enjoyable if a little predictable, but I suppose that is to be expected when it basically set many of today's tropes. I was totally caught of guard by
Ash being a robot
. The only question now is where do I go from here?

Well, I, for one, enjoyed
Star Trek Into Darkness
. Yea, it played a lot of service to the fans, lots of nods to the original. I can see where some of those nods though would be meaningless if you didn't get the context.
Mudd's ship has no meaning if you don't know who Mudd was, but at the same time, does it really matter? They have a confiscated civilian ship, good enough.
And they manage to twist expectations enough to make it worth while, while keeping things in character. As a whole, I really thought the movie worked.

. Ok, we get it, you liked the game
God of War
. Did you bother to catch the STORY in it? Because a whole bunch of "cool looking" stylized graphic violence does not a movie make. the story here is unappealing, and the visuals, while impressive, are just too over the top. A good movie this is not.

It's not a movie, but I just finished
Hemlock Grove
today. I don't think it was actually very good overall, but they certainly filmed it in such a way as to make full use of the "hook" that keeps bringing you back. I had some suspicions about where the story was going, but they gave me a couple of twists at the end. I think they did well playing on the stated theme of the show, "monster inside," but otherwise it just felt weak. The finale left open the option for another season, but I'm not really sure where they would go with it.
Anybody else see this on Netflix?

Shame. Maybe I was putting King's Speech on too high a pedestal. *shrug* It didn't detract from the movie, I did enjoy it. It just looked like one of those movies that should have been more. Oh well. Good movie was still good movie.
I'll tell you one that surprised me, one I didn't think could possibly be as good as it was:
The Social Network
. Again, not classic level, but a good watch.

I agree with DM about the different genres thing. I have a friend with whom I discuss movie criticism, and we usually admit that the genre matters in our opinion. I happen to really enjoy the Die Hard franchise, but only for what it is.
That said, I wanted to watch
The Cabin in the Woods
again immediately after watching it the first time. That would be my gut answer to the question.

Trim down those expectations right now.
is definitely right in the class of
The King's Speech
. It's a good movie, one you'll enjoy (unless you've set your expectations too high), but it would not be on the same shelf as
The Godfather
. That is a classic, well-crafted, well-acted, really great story that captures a slice of Americana and will never seem old or tired. One would not seriously say those things of
(or of
The King's Speech
). Ten years from now no one will be talking about either of those.

I was actually thinking about that myself. I mean,
The King's Speech
was supposed to be the best movie of the year. And it felt like a bit of a let down to call it that. It was a good movie, sure, but was that the very best Hollywood had to offer us?
As for what has blown me away recently, well, it varies. In a review of
Shaolin Soccer
, the late Roger Ebert talked about different genres bring different expectations - and thus different ratings to movies. How
could be worth three and a half stars, while
The United States of Leland
was worth only two.
I bring this up becuase I have seen several recent movies that have been remarkable within their genre, but may not exactly be breathtaking classics.
Cabin in the Woods
, for example, is quite possible as perfect a horror movie as can be conceived right now. Does that make it a classic movie? No. Likewise,
The Avengers
, also written and this time directed by Joss Whedon, is the definitive comic-book action movie. Closer to a classic, but still not there.
, a children's movie, actually strikes me as being closer to the mark of a classic. Though it does suffer in a couple places, and I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone.
Children's movies have had a real resurgence with Pixar, and now Dreamworks, competing in the field.
certainly was reminiscent of some classic works, and had a good story to tell, but I think overall falls short of the mark. However, 2010 brought us both
Toy Story 3
, a very strong finale to a strong trilogy (though it appears Pixar will be tapping that well again), and
How to Train your Dragon
, which I think surpasses even Toy Story 3 in nearly every respect. That's one I might consider for it.
But I think the latest movie that really took me out of my seat, one I would without hesitation put among the greatest films of all time, is one I have mentioned before.
The Dark Knight
may not be a better "comic-book" movie than The Avengers, but I think it is hands down a better movie overall.
It's possible that I have miss something that came out later that I could point to and say "Yes, that's a classic", but off the top of my head I really can't think of any. There have been some good movies, to be sure, but nothing that I think has that right combination that can pit it against the likes of
Apollo 13
, or
The Godfather
I have hope for
though, which I've yet to see. But after The King's Speech, I'm a little more wary about it now.
What about yourself? What recent movies would you say are classics in their own right?

That's a weird comparison to draw I don't think anyone ever claimed it was on anything like that level - I know reviewers like to overhype things but that would be a bit excessive...
Just out of interest, what was the most recent film you have seen that "blew you away"? (In the sense of considering it a masterpiece, rather than in the sense of being overblown and too loud...) And by most recent, I mean in terms of cinema release, not in terms of what you last saw on DVD or whatever.

The King's Speech
. Somehow, I expected more from it. Don't get me wrong, it was a very good movie. But it has been hyped up quite a bit, and I wasn't blown away by it, like I was the first time I watched
The Godfather

I think DiCaprio will do well in that movie, but I'm worried about the quality of the movie because of Maguire. It also depends on whether they take
liberties with the material since I figure it's a given that they will take liberties.
The Cabin in the Woods
Holy crap! This movie was awesome! Thoroughly predictable (in a good way), yet with enough twists to keep me from knowing exactly what would happen. Stellar performances by all, and I really loved the music.
Plus, they had the guts to give it the ending it deserved, which I think I also said about
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
You should definitely see this movie, even if you don't particularly care for horror films.

Having now seen the trailer for The Great Gatsby, I am actually excited about seeing it, whereas before I was definitely feeling "meh". DiCaprio is turning into, well, a modern DeNiro, and that can only be a good thing (well, as long as he remembers to stop before going the whole DeNiro route...!)

Star Trek Into Darkness
Let's leave aside what exactly the title of this film is (is it "Into Darkness"? Should there be a colon after "Star Trek"?) and try and figure out what exactly went wrong here.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that
Into Darkness
is a bad film by any means. It's got an amazing cast who are largely on top form, it's got a director who has an eye for the visuals, it's even got a vaguely coherent plot with some sharp political allegory, but...
Five years ago, when the first Abrams Trek movie came out, I praised it for gleefully pretending that the original series never existed. The fundamental problem with
Into Darkness
is that it takes the reverse approach. The entire film is a metatextual commentary on the original
Star Trek
movies, to the extent that several things happen in the film that seem to rely upon the viewer knowing their significance without bothering to properly explain them. (They do make sense, but only in that context.)
Meanwhile, suspension of disbelief is stretched past breaking point in the first ten minutes (albeit in a very amusing way), and that never lets up for the rest of the film, with slightly too many sequences relying on implausible superheroics (including one which is an almost exact lift from the first film but with an, um, twist.) To their credit though, the cast do keep it together for the most part.
Which then leads on to the next problem. What made the first film so much fun (and still watchable despite all the glaring plot issues) was that Pine and Quinto made an unbelievably great Kirk and Spock, reflecting the "emotion vs intellect" conflict really well. And they do the same thing here, when they are allowed to. But then Benedict Cumberbatch turns up and it all goes a bit strange because Pine now has another person to argue and, yes, banter with, and whilst Harrison is a good villain with semi-plausible motivations, he unbalances what was previously a well-constructed set-up by making him all too human. As a result, Kirk and Spock get stuck in their defined roles, making them less interesting too. Meanwhile the new female crew member does even less than Uhuru (who, to be fair, gets one of the great moments) although she may be being set up for the next film - having said that, she is also primarily one of the metatextual jokes I referred to earlier. Credit to Simon Pegg though, who makes Scotty a genuine character this time.
The plot itself is somewhat perfunctory, which is better than the first film in that it at least is easy to follow and doesn't rely on too many extreme coincidences - although the whole "broken down in space" bit is utterly absurd if you think about it for more than a few seconds - and the final sequence is just complete nonsense. Oh, and there are a few shots which are clearly meant to be show-stoppers but actually end up looking cheesy: the cloud sequence is the prime offender here; you're supposed to cheer but actually you just groan. The underplayed political commentary was good but hardly earth-shattering, and will doubtless be written off as the usual liberal Hollywood hand-wringing about the war on terror.
Again, don't get me wrong - I had a blast; it was never less than fun and even when the predictability became hard to take, it was often used as part of the joke. It most reminded me of
Avengers Assemble
- popcorn fun with pretensions to something more, but those pretensions turned out to be popcorn as well.
Oh, and Mr Abrams - could you lay off the lens flare? Just once or twice?

It wasn't bad by any means, but it just didn't really grab me. The story was actually quite meaningful, and the whole premise was creative. I guess it just wasn't for me.
It's one of those movies that left it's mark on the cultural landscape because of two scenes. When those two scenes were over with more than an hour left in the film, I had no idea what to expect from the rest of the movie. It was enjoyable, but I'm not really sure what the point was. It was nice to see a young Voight and Reynolds, and I'm glad to know first-hand what people are talking about when they refer to this film.

I think DiCaprio is getting better with age, and this movie was no exception. This was also the first movie where I didn't notice whether his accent was horrible. It may have been horrible this time too, but I didn't notice.
As for Waltz, see him in his other Tarantino run,
Inglorious Basterds
. That's probably how he got this role.

Yes, that's the scene. My favorite line was when one of the idiots proposed that they remove the 'poorly made' bags for THIS raid, and work on securing better quality bags for future raids. Like sitting around a conference table discussing a marketing plan.

Only film I 've seen recently is Oblivion with Tom Cruise. Meh, not bad. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. 7 if I was being
generous. It's by no means a bad film, but I felt the movie suffered a bit due to pacing issues. On the positive side, the performances were good, the effects were tip-top, and the film has quite an original bad guy. Verdict: Worth watching, but IMO not essential.

You cannot comment on this movie without mentioning the vigilante scene. It was totally extraneous, could have easily been eliminated, had nothing to do with the plot, and was flat out ridiculous and over the top stupid, more like a SNL skit than a scene in a Tarantino movie. That said, it was genius and one of the most unforgettable (and funniest) scenes in the movie. And a young black slave woman named Broomhilda Von Shaft.....who speaks German? WTF?
I was not as impressed by Samuel L Jackson's performance as others, but more impressed with Leonardo DiCaprio than others seem to be. I have had trouble seeing Jackson as anyone but Jules ever since Pulp Fiction.
And from now on, I will see any move that Christopher Waltz is in.....period.
Still.....not quite as good as Pulp Fiction, but then......what is?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
. I waited until I could borrow both halves from the library at the same time because I didn't want to watch half a movie. Now I'm waiting for the previews and ads to play out on part 2. Fast forward and Menu seem to be disabled. It certainly is long. Fortunately I can surf the Internet while I wait. I guess they figure that anyone who is watching part 2 has already seen part 1 and is a captive audience who will stay no matter how long it takes.

Django Unchained
Wow. This was a great film. I loved everything. The music was fun, the dialogue was witty, the actors were great, and the story worked well. The last is especially important for me because, unlike other films (e.g. Silver Linings Playbook), when the initial problem was solved, they nicely gave a new one to drive the plot. Even more, it worked. The whole thing was a little predictable, but in the moment of saying, "I saw that coming," I thought simultaneously that I would have been upset if Tarantino had caused it to happen any other way.
Christoph Waltz definitely deserved the Oscar for this role. The character was brilliantly written, and he played it perfectly. What makes this even more amazing to me is that he is apparently new to the American movie scene. My only wish is that he had come sooner.
If you like Quentin Tarantino, this is another gem of his. My tiniest of complaints is that he had a little too much movie after the climax, but I think this typical of Tarantino (at least of what I have seen). Still, as my friend quipped, the final scene makes you forgive him for this.

Wow. This may be one of the best movies targeted for children that I've ever seen. I love the visual style, cartoony, CGI done to look like stop-motion/claymation. (Edit - looks like it was actually stop motion with some CGI effects. Kudos either way, watching it I wasn't sure which way they'd gone with it. It looked great.) The story itself was engaging, had a good moral lesson to it, and didn't condescend to children. The character design, especially the one at the end, was remarkable. There is good humor, and some great dialog all around. I loved it.

Yea. That's the one.
What I want to know is why, WHY is
Encino Man
? Why is
Encino Man
?! *Sobs* (Note, I am still very early into the movie, but I can see where this plot is going...)
Oh no, it's worse. It's ZOMBIE Encino Man.
It even has Robert Vaughn as the villain (not the CHUD). He's so cliche they used him for BASEketball.
This could be the most perfect movie ever.
Zag, you asked me why I watch these painfully cheesy, bargain bin cheap horror movies. This movie is why. This movie and others like it. There have been some fairly decent horror movies. And then there's the occasional horror comedy that just amuses the hell out of me.
I may never stop laughing at this movie.

On the subject of cult classics... I just watched
Better than I was expecting. I was expecting some cheap, campy horror. Sure, there was a bit of that, but this played more like
Army of Darkness
. (And I LIKE Volcano.)
Soon I'll have to watch the sequel, which I know can't be good.

Seven Psychopaths
This was an enjoyable film. It had a good story line with enough little twists and turns to make it interesting. Some of them I saw coming, others I didn't. The ending was enjoyable, and I like the different connections between the characters and within the different flashbacks (if that's what they should be called). I really like the wrap-up where they tie the parts together. The ending was solid for this reason, which is nice since the story sometimes seemed to drift.
Pretty decent acting, especially when you consider the story. It's almost a satire of the action genre, so some of the characters are extreme. I really like Walken and Harrelson. There were a few nice songs, but otherwise I don't really remember the music. It fit though.
I think it's worth seeing, and I'll probably see it again (if only to get a better grasp on the intricacies).
DM, this was your first time? I'm a little shocked. That's a cult classic.

While I agree wholeheartedly, somehow I expect a married man who is studying to be a minister not to be as much of a dirty-old-man-in-training as I used to be. (I'm now a full-fledged dirty old man, having qualified for an AARP card a year and a half ago.)

Silver Linings Playbook
I wasn't as satisfied with this movie as I thought I would be. The first half of the film is pretty straight-forward in that there are all of these dysfunctional people interacting with each other while the main character tries to shape himself up. It's actually a pretty interesting insight into systems theory. The problem comes when the movie decides it needs a plot and leaves behind the character story of the first half. It's not so much that they dropped one plot and started another (though it comes close), but more that they suddenly decided they needed a direction. I would have been quite pleased if it had remained as a simple exposition of characters, a showcase of relational dynamics and how those play out in the dysfunctional setting. Alas, no.
Aside from this, I rather enjoyed the characters and the actors who played them. Some of the idiosyncrasies of the characters weren't always believable, but I still found them interesting and enjoyable in their own ways. The different scenes for character development were intriguing and a little jarring to my "social norms" sensibilities, but I think the latter is precisely what made the scenes intriguing. It was a glimpse into the lives of people who experience these things. The music was also generally enjoyable, and I think it matched the tone of the movie well.
Finally, Jennifer Lawrence.

I watched
The Hobbit
again. I really like the first half of the film, up to the point where they stage identical scenes to the
Lord of the Rings
films. I said that before, and it's apparently still true. I love the score though, and the sweeping shots of New Zealand are so gorgeous.
I also re-watched
The Newsies
. I just like the clever lines and the songs. I think I would really have enjoyed this as a kid (considering I enjoy it now).

Liar Liar
has historically been my favorite Jim Carrey movie. I haven't revisited that in a while (
Man on the Moon
is pretty incredible, and I like
Eternal Sunshine
), but it will at least always have a special place for me.
The Princess and the Frog
This was my first time to see this, and I have to say, I don't know why I waited so long. It was a very good adaptation of a common story. I really liked the musical numbers, and it was good to see a strong, female lead. I was also especially proud that
they let a character die. I thought they would shy away from that in a kid's movie, but they had the guts to let him die in a realistic way and let the kids confront that.
One surprising thing is that Jim Cummings is apparently the voice of my childhood. He's in almost every cartoon I might have watched as a kid. That gave the movie a dash of nostalgia for me.
If you enjoy Disney movies, I recommend it.

Liar Liar
on Netflix. I haven't seen it pretty much since it came out. And early on, a thought occurs to me. Jim Carrey is doing his usual, over the top mugging. He's divorced, only sees his son occasionally, but the kid loves him and his jokes.
This is about the most realistic setting I can see for someone who'd act like that all the time. His wife got sick of it and left, his kid only gets it in small doses and, since it is a type of funny, sure he'd like it.
I do like this movie. It, along with Mask, showed that Carrey did have a bit more range than just "idiotic and insane". He's good at the latter (very good, he really excels at the slap stick humor), and these movies helped bridge the gap to more serious films.
As far as the film itself goes, I do like it. It's funny as a comedy, has some good moments of seriousness, drama, and some feel-good moments. It's not perfect, but few movies are. It is a good way to kill an hour and a half or so.

At one point I gave a a collection of the digital movies to some friends. Because suddenly acquiring a large collections without much knowledge of the films, I made this list to help them.
It was tailored for two people I know but aside from the very top which were films that had come up in recent conversations, I think the list does a reasonable job. Good movies are given a lower number.

1.0 Power of One, The (ah, one of my favourites about a boy in south africa)
1.1 Cool Hand Luke [another that must be watched]

1.2 Amelie [I can't remember if it was in French or not]
1.2 Flash of Genius [another personal favourite. you could see it happening to someone like me...]
1.2 Gods Must be Crazy I [#1 is excellent, #2 is good enough]
1.2 Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The
1.2 Great Escape, The (a old movie)
1.2 Inside Man (excellent heist movie)

1.4 Finding Forrester [it is a good but fictional story]

4 Lilo & Stitch

5.0 Amores Perros (it is really long, but one of my favorites )
5.0 Lives of Others, The (a german movie, a good but somewhat slow choice)
5.0 Bashu, The Little Stranger [a movie from iran, also about race]
5.0 Oldboy (a weird movie that well not really your style but it is unique)

5.0 Rain Man (long, slow, about autism. very well made)
5.0 American History X [about racism, very powerful]
