I saw a couple of great movies that I can recommend. One for the theatre, one for rental.
Block Party - what a fun movie. If you don't like rap music dont' let that stop you from seeing this one. The music is obviously a big part of the film but its more about the energy of the event and watching Chapelle just..well be Chapelle. Watching it knowing what happened after they filmed it (it was soon after that he wigged and went to Africa) also puts an interesting twist on the film. Chapelle almost seems to feel guilty about his new wealth and his concert is a way to pay some of that back. Anyhoo it really is a great feel good movie. See it.
Nine Lives - new on video. Similar to movies like Short Cuts, Crash, etc but the film makes no attempt to tie up the various storylines from all the characters. Rather its just a little slice of each's life. Great movie and shot in a very interesting manner with nine seperate seens all done single-cam style w/o cuts and I assume a lot of ad libbing.
