Movies I mean to see

I've had the two blog entries (both from darrenbarefoot.com, a consistently interesting blog) linked below open in tabs for weeks or months now. They're movies that I hadn't heard about, but the entries convinced me I should see. I'd like to close the tabs, so I'm posting here so I don't forget about them (and maybe one of my readers would be interested as well).

Spartan
Spartan: A Great Movie You Probably Haven't Seen

After reading the blog entry, I've noticed several other mentions on various sites about Spartan, all positive. From the link:

In an era of remakes, sequels and adaptations, Spartan is a clinic in cinematic storytelling. Mamet’s a straight-ahead filmmaker, never relying on the panicked editing, strange filters or super slow mo that can be crutches for other directors (I’m talking to you, Oliver Stone). It’s a great story, relentlessly told, and has a plot as tight as they come. And, as I mentioned, it’s eminently quotable:

Unknown White Male
Documentary About a Reformatted Brain

It's a documentary about a guy who has some crazy-rare type of amnesia where he doesn't remember personal memories, but can function normally (he still remembers 'skill-based' stuff). Darren links to a review and the official site, so I won't repeat those links here. If you're interested, click the link above.

Woo hoo! Tabs closed!
