This movie is probably one of the best Jack Nicholson movies. He acts as a criminal who pretends to be mad and is sent to a mental institution. I rate it 7/10.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a classic Spaghetti Western. While I enjoyed the movie, the print restoration job wasn’t very good and at times it looks washed up. Overall, I rate it 8/10.
Thank You for Smoking
We saw this movie in the theater. It is a good satirical comedy about a tobacco industry lobbyist who can spin anything to his clients’ favor. I rate it 8/10.
Good Night, and Good Luck
It is a movie about the conflict between journalist Murrow and Senator McCarthy. It focuses exclusively on media responsibility and other than the archive footage of McCarthy it almost never leaves the CBS studio. Overall, it is a good movie.
Seven Samurai
A samurai movie classic, Seven Samurai, is fun to watch despite the bad print of an oldie. Seven samurai get together to defend a village against bandits. The movie is worth watching. I rate it 8/10.
The Browning Version
The Browning Version reminds me of the book Goodbye, Mr. Chips. It is a good movie. I rate it 7/10.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
We have seen all Harry Potter movies though we haven’t read any of the books. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was somewhat weaker than the earlier episodes. I rate it 6/10.
Goodfellas
Goodfellas is a mafia movie which we had seen before but forgotten. It wasn’t until we were midway watching it again that we remembered. Overall, it is an okay movie. I rate it 6/10.

Head-On or Gegen die Wand is a Turkish German film about a young woman who has a marriage of convenience with a guy to escape her strict and conservative family.
The Magdalene Sisters
The Magdalene Sisters was a good movie which followed the plight of three girls at a Magdalene Assylum. Overall, I would rate the movie 7/10.
