30/11
In The Soup [film, dvd]

[I didn't Heart Huckabees as much as others seemed to -- it was fitfully funny in the way that some films based on British sitcoms usually are. Some good scenes but it didn't hang together for me. Spent most of the month catching up on the excellent third season of 24 and the even better second season of Alias with the jaw dropping episode Phase One which had me shouting -- "It's dream sequence! It's dream sequence!" only to find it really wasn't.]

Honogurai mizu no soko kara [film, dvd]

[A fairly lean month as Christmas gripped and so did the extended version of Return of the King which isn't just a special edition but a whole other film. Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking was genuinely fun on tv and I can recommend anything else listed here really. Except for House of the Flying Daggers which is full of sound and beauty and fury but in the end signified nothing.]
