Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

A few recent American films:

Breach: the always worthwhile Chris Cooper plays real-life FBI super sleuth who is suspected of being a Russian mole. Very well done, with several good performances from the younger agent and Cooper. A very clever cat-and-mouse piece with none of the obvious Hollywood crapola which DeNiro's similar film about the CIA was chock-full of (Matt Damon as a nerd and a wife like Jolie? C'mon!).
Hollywoodland: seems one either loves or hates it.
Affleck shocked me with his nuanced, Camus-like performance. This is existential man portrayed unflinchingly; the best male performance I've seen in years. The guy from The Piano terribly was miscast as a hard-boiled detective but Affleck overcomes all the film's shortcomings.
Men with Guns: I second the other poster's opinion; it's an older John Sayle film but just as good as his under-appreciated classic, Lone Star.
