"Alexandra's Project is a 2003 drama/thriller Australian movie. It depicts a family where the protagonist, Steve, comes to find the life that he has been living is a lie. After years of what he believed to be marital bliss, his wife Alexandra confronts him with her dissatisfaction in a most unexpected and emotionally wrenching way. On his birthday, Alexandra (called 'Alex' by Steve) reveals, among other things, that she has been earning money as a prostitute, and that the children have been taken away (presumably, out of the country, since we see their passport applications)."

You're a prostitute?

Hahaha Man, the money I would have if I was!
And money= Land Rovers. Maybe it's not such a bad life style!

I liked Alexandra's Project a lot. Very different. Not always comfortable viewing, but interesting for sure.

Try "Burn After Reading", another Cohen Bros film if you liked Fargo. Excellent cast (Clooney/Pitt/the lady from Fargo).

It was bad, you could tell when lines from the old TV show were going to happen before they did, very predictable, we have also seen Bruce and Lloyd out of Control, it's a spinoff of using the bumbling tech dudes from Get Smart, we had quite a few laughs.

I have had Who Killed the Electric Car sitting here for a couple of months, have to watch it someday.

I watched Fargo (for the third or fourth time) just a couple of nights ago.

I love it.

Anything by the Coen brothers appeals to me. I like the fact that they seem to have a style of their own so that even though there are significant differences between "Fargo", "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and "No Country for Old Men", it is obvious they are the work of the Coen brothers.

I wasn't overly impressed with no country for old men. Everyone I know enjoyed it though. I don't think I had any understanding of the style of how they work though so I might watch it again and see if I can settle in to it.

The mutt- I thought that electric car flick was pretty interesting. Who knows what is true but I enjoy a bit of a conspiracy
