I didn't know there was a fellow Dresden files fan here. I love these books. I actually am up to date with the collection except for the short stories. Hard-boiled detective fiction with fantasy mixed in. my kind of book.

hey there! its a great series. i also have the short stories (mostly pdfs) - and theyre nice "fill-ins" in between releases. i also have the first of the two graphic novels that were released last year (i think).

great reads! the only thing i havent bought yet is the latest release called "changes" because it hasnt come out in paperback yet. i dont really like buying hardbound books.

"Unknown" is so relative. but based on the replies ive read i think this thread is for movies that were not huge commercial successes OR those that were not widely released and were most probably viewed via alternative means....

That being said, here is my list of movies that ive stumbled onto and really liked - in my perspective they are "unknown" because they werent widely released in the city where i live.

Amelie - quirky, well edited, well acted.

Tiger in the Snow - stumbled on this at some cable channel, it stars Roberto Benigni (A Beautiful Life, also an awesome movie) in a weirdly sequenced story thats got an awesome surprise ending.

Audition - this is a gory movie, but gore aside, it also has a pretty good plot. In this same genre is Old Boy.

Malena and Il Postino - great Italian movies.

Wong Kar Wai's movies - his movies are a bit hard to get into but he always draws me into the wonderful world he weaves with his characters, plot and production design. I loved In the Mood for Love, 2026, Days of Being Wild, Chungking Express and Happy Together.

Ive always thought the Infernal Affairs series was excellent and way better than the US version.

I also liked Departures - which won as Best Foreign Film at the 2008 Oscars. Other Japanese films I enjoyed were Ichi the Killer, Battle Royale, Josee, the Tiger and the Fish, Azumi and Summer Time Machine Blues.

Im sure there are more that I liked but the titles escape me at the moment.

closet bading ka, i can tell.

kasi bading lang ang gumagawa ng bading act gaya nun noh!

umamin ka na kase ateh! i promise not to judge -- bigyan pa kita ng make up to start you off! :upside:

Karamihan sa Pilipino, kapag may mali silang ginawa at napagsabihan or naparusahan ... eh sila pa ang galit.

Aaron Brooks has range and is as fast as (dare I say it) Tony Parker.. :thumbsupsmiley:

faster, imho. also a better player than tony parker, i think.

ive seen him play live (and tony parker too, at a different game) and he's pretty well rounded for such a (relatively) small guy.

great versatility and speed.
