Complex film Very real characters that draw you into their lives. Moves from a romance to a couple dealing with the illness of their daughter and how the two of them manage their feelings. The film has a very spiritual overtone with the music and the character development. She, moves towards a more mystical view of life while he struggles with his beliefs that there is no God and no afterlife. But the film does a nice job respecting the characters and letting them play out their growth in very believable and approachabl
That was Good... This was a good movie. I would give it 6 stars if I could. This is a very realistic story, of a very tragic and beautiful couple in Belgium. But, the Ballad of Alabama & Monroe will certainly leave you believing in love, at its core. And then bring you right back into reality. I will have to come back to this movie, but I will have to give it some time, to let my heart strings heal.
Full of passion, tragedy and beautiful music I would advise not watching this movie with your significant other. It will bring about tough questions that you probably rather not deal with during romantic evening at home. :-) I watched it alone and was truly moved by the performances and great music that underpinned every gut wrenching turn of the story.
Watch it! Loved it! A moving story about love and loss.
Deep This movie hit me hard and stuck with me for days.
this is a very good move I love it I gave it 4 star I thank very bony will love it

The Erectionman
A SXSW feature documentary, this jaunty film owes much of its appeal to its narrator, Dutch director Schaap, whose confessional style and general goofiness bring levity to an awkward topic: "erectile dysfunction" and the little blue pill that treats it.
Black Out
An audacious crime-comedy-thriller laced with colorful lowlifes, tough femmes fatales, and off-the-wall humor, Black Out is Guy Ritchie's Snatch by way of The Hangover, and a wickedly enjoyable ride.
On the day before his wedding, retired criminal Jos (Raymond Thiry) wakes up with a splitting headache, a missing wedding ring, and a dead body in bed next to him. With no memory of the previous day's events, he quickly finds himself pursued by suspicious narcotics officers and an assortment of eccentric and dangerous criminals who believe Jos has stolen 20 kilos of cocaine. With less than 24 hours to unravel the mystery, Jos is forced back into the seedy Amsterdam underworld in hopes that he can recover the coke and ring, and live long enough to make it to the altar.
