Departed: A tense thriller. Keeps you involved all the way. I'm beginning to like Martin Scorcese. ( I didn't really like Gangs of New York that much.) The storyline of Departed is quite complex and all the characters are intertwined. I felt that the psychiatrist would have a bigger impact on the storyline.

Tsotsi: A simple storyline, yet the movie was amazing. Don't miss this South African movie that won the 2005 Oscar for Best Foreign Movie.

Seven Samurai: Great storytelling. Difficult to imagine that this movie is from the 1950s. The movie is too lengthy, but it is from the 1950s ..

Cool Google feature -- Create your own RSS feed.

"Here's a little Google Video secret. If you add "&output=rss" to the URL of a search results page in Google Video, you get a RSS feed for that results.

For example, if you search for "apple", the address of the search results page is http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=apple. Now append the output parameter and you'll get http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=apple&output=rss, a feed you can add to your favorite feed reader, so you can track the best videos about Apple."
