I took a long time to watch this movie because, though I had heard many good things about it, I was reluctant to be disappointed yet again by a critically well received film. I am sorry I waited. "The Barbarian Invasions" was truly beautiful, simple, elegant and wrenchingly poignant. If you have a not so grand relationship with your parents, this film will hit home even harder for you. This is the type of film that makes me wonder why American filmmakers can't seem to make truly good movies anymore( there are exceptions such as Chris Nolan). This movie does not stick a tent-pole in your face yet it is a memorable experience. This is a truly effecting film that I suggest any aspiring auteur filmmaker see.

Kitchen Confidential
(2005–2006)
The best comedy I have watched in years!
23 December 2005
This is the funniest show I have seen in years. Each character and situation funnier than the next. The cast is fantastic, the writing is superb so I guess that is why it was canceled? It is rare that an ensemble cast works so well with one another like they do here. I watched How I Met Your Mother which is in the opposing time slot, and I have to say it was just not funny at all! I had to change the channel after the first 5 minutes because I was just bored. On the contrary I can't stop laughing out loud throughout KC. My great hope is that FOX will just juggle their time schedule a little better and fit this outrageously funny and clever show back in somehow.
