A few more nano-reviews:

Boogie Nights
An oldie (1997), but very much goldie from Paul Thomas Anderson, the brilliant man behind Magnolia. The latter has been a favourite of mine for years, so it was about time I got around to watching this one. The two movies are similar in many ways, and I recommend both highly. Like Magnolia, it’s a lengthy drama, but with some good humour sprinkled on top. If you don’t let the running time or the genre scare you away, you are in for a big treat. (If you’ve seen the movie you may giggle now.)

Little Miss Sunshine
A heart warming comedy about a dysfunctional family on a road trip to enter cute, little Olive into a beauty pageant. Sounds cuddly, doesn’t it? This was a pleasant surprise, because the humour in the movie was much, much darker than what I had expected - sex and drugs play dominant roles in the plot. So go see it.
