Reserved in case I run out of room.

Just saw Motorcycle Diaries and I think a lot more should have happened. Foreign movies are refreshing; they take their time, the characters are real, etc.. This movie was beautiful and all, but the "journey" seemed a little empty. Not much happened as far as insight (the revolution, change in outlook, etc.). I haven't read the book, so I guess if it's true to that I have no reason to complain.

2004 releases only:

-The Passion of the Christ: * (out of ****)
