\/><\/p>\n<p>The movie <em>Intacto <\/em> (2001) has a surprisingly low score at imdb.com (6.8\/10.0), but Chad thinks thats because it&#8217;s one of those hate-it-or-love-it movies. I gave it an A-, which I consider a very high ranking. I recommend seeing this film, but with an alert mind. Not only is most of it in Spanish, but it is also a mind-bender. It is an ingenious twisted story about luck &#8211; those who have it and those who don&#8217;t &#8211; and a story ultimately about reconciling oneself to fate. The way the odds skyrocket exponentially with each succeeding game of chance is fascinating and tragic. These humans aren&#8217;t playing God, they&#8217;re playing at being the Devil: collecting souls and risking everything. The writer and director of the film, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, does an exceptionally nimble job doling out information throughout the movie.<\/p>\n<p>71. <strong>Atonement <\/strong>(A-)<br \/>\n72. <strong>Juno<\/strong> (A-)<br \/>\n73. <strong>No Country for Old Men<\/strong> (A)<br \/>\n74. <strong>I&#8217;m Not There<\/strong> (B-)<br \/>\n75. <strong>Beowulf<\/strong> (B-)<br \/>\n76. <strong>Control<\/strong> (A-)<br \/>\n77. <strong>American Gangster<\/strong> (A) Saw it twice.<br \/>\n78. <strong>Things We Lost in the Fire<\/strong> (B)<br \/>\n79. <strong>Gone Baby Gone<\/strong><em> <\/em>(A-)<em><br \/>\n80. <\/em><strong>Michael Clayton<\/strong> (A-)<br \/>\n81. <strong>We Own the Night<\/strong><em> <\/em>(B)<br \/>\n82. <strong>Into the Wild<\/strong> (A-)<\/ol>\n<p><em>83. <\/em><strong>The Namesake<\/strong> (C+)<\/p>\n<p><em>84. <\/em><strong>The Wire<\/strong> (A+) Fourth season was the best.<\/p>\n<p>85. <strong>The Wire<\/strong> (A) Third season was as good as the first.<\/p>\n<p>86. <strong>The Wire<\/strong> (A-) Second season was almost as good as the first.<\/p>\n<p>87. <strong>Rescue Dawn<\/strong> (B)<\/p>\n<p>88. <strong>Death Proof<\/strong><em> <\/em>(A)<\/p>\n<p>89. <strong>The Wire<\/strong> &#8211; First Season (A for another addictive HBO show)<\/p>\n<p>90. <strong>Love in the Afternoon<\/strong> (B)<\/p>\n<p>91. <strong>Broadcast News<\/strong><em> <\/em>(B+)<\/p>\n<p>92. <strong>Away From Her<\/strong> (B+)<\/p>\n<p>93. <strong>Inland Empire<\/strong> (B)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly Grey&#8217;s Anatomy Season 1 Deadwood Season 2 Emma Mansfield Park Sense and Sensibility Beetlejuice Cars A Knight&#8217;s Tale Children of Men Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth Dreamgirls Last King of Scotland &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/?page_id=963\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":3313,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-963","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/963\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.womantalk.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
