World Cinema Showcase review

The cinema I work at recently screened a bunch of films as part of the World Cinema Showcase. I was lucky enough to watch a few - here are my thoughts on what I saw:

The White Ribbon - this was great. A really involving, slow moving story set in a small pre-WWI German village. Thought provoking and wonderfully filmed. 8/10
Fish Tank - this was an impulsive watch, and turned out to be very good. A very slow first half had me thinking I had it all worked out, but the second half was a cracker, and took me by surprise. Outstanding acting. 8/10
Wild Grass - I went to this one on a whim, and it was awful. The first film I've ever walked out. The characters were unbelievably frustrating and unlikable; I hoped it would get better - it didn't. 1/10
Gentlemen Broncos - Simon warned me not watch this one, and unfortunately, I ignored him. So terrible, the characters were very one-dimensional, and the film, as a whole, left me grimacing. 2/10
Goemon - Awesome. Let me say that again - AWESOME. This movie was great, a super-OTT, eye-exploding story about ninjas and their hijinks. Awesome. 9/10
Herb & Dorothy - this was a documentary about an old NY couple who collect minimal/conceptual art, and house it in their apartment. Very sweet, and a well made, rather inspiring, doco. 7/10
The Box - a really good Twilight Zone story: a couple push a mysterious button, they receive a million dollars, and a strangers dies. Gripping and tense, and a little kooky. 8/10
