: I've just finished taking a look at "Felicia's Journey."
: I am so blown away by it that I may stay in and rewatch "Exotica" rather than go out for "Charlie's Angels."
Oooooooooh. Not what I would've done, but I guess Exotica's okay.
Felicia's Journey is a really strong and darkly funny film. Both Hopkins and the lead actress give amazing performances.
The Sweet Hereafter is a fantastic film, and definately one of the best Canada has to offer. If memory serves me well, Vincent is a big fan of it. It took me a couple days to realize how much I liked it though, since it's not one of those "Good god that movie kicked ass" kinda films. It had simmer for a while.
: These films are novel in every sense of the term, in my opinion.
I really don't think that Exotica's that great a film. I think that only now, is Egoyan really coming into his own with his last two films.
