December 21, 2005. Jamel Debbouze is a vision as a super shady qusi-businessman Andre, so full of self-loathing that he positively shimmers on the screen. I am thinking especially of the scene at the bar where Angela is making money in the bathroom. Rie Rasumssen is the perfect contrast to Andre, both in screen presence and in world view. Given the direction by Luc Besson, the Mise en scène is amazing, better than but also reminiscent of the THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. It is both a love story and a morality tale without being too pedantic or sappy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473753/

You Don't Mess with the Zohan
June 6, 2008. It manages to be both better and worse than you expect. Happy Gilmore meets Munich meets Romeo and Juliet. The call to Hezbollah is the highlight of the film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960144/
