Oof. That's a hell of a month. I've never seen Breaker Morant, but I know Garth Ennis is a huge fan of it and that's enough for me.

I also haven't seen Moonrise Kingdom, but there's a commentary track on the disc with Bill Murray, and that might be worth it all by itself.

The Brood, Kwaidan and Mullholland Dr are all must-haves.

This version of Kwaidan is the original three-hour cut, never before released in the United States.

Three Kings?

That was my thought. I still haven't seen it.

Think the playing card in the car is Oliver Stone's JFK? The clock is definitely Orson Welles' "Chimes At Midnight".

Probably too much to hope that the angel on the bomb is Dr. Strangelove...
