New Stuff: Grinderman
Initially I didn't get this album, since I thought having their debut album is enough, but since this cd is on several Best of 2010 lists I bought it anyhow.
New Stuff: The Wire
After having ordered Season 1 and 2 I only realized that in the UK you get the whole series for the price of 2 seasons in the States...
According to The Wire this is the best album of the year 2010.Monday, December 27, 2010
Go Tell the Spartans (1978)
A unit of American military advisors in Vietnam prior to the major U.S. involvement find similarities between their helpless struggle against the Viet Cong and the doomed actions of a French unit at the same site a decade before in this bitter look at the beginnings of the Vietnam war.
Committed anti-war drama, somewhat dated by now.
La passante du Sans-Souci (1982)

A reputable businessman, a rich self-made man with a conscience who founded a highly visible and active international organization fighting against violations of human rights murders an an ambassador.
A political-historical drama competently set in a courtroom and told in long flashbacks.
