Unglorious Basterds , USA, 2008 ☆☆☆☆☆
Violent as any Tarantino film, this one turns a horrible history episode into an entertaining piece of fiction. One of Tarantino's best movies if you ask me. The only thing that bothered me was the little Western background music that would somtimes pop up. That is really out of place considering the story being told, but it is becoming one of Tarantino's musical traits.

Home , Switzerland, 2008 ☆☆☆
A family's peaceful existence is threatened when a busy highway is opened only meters away from their isolated house in the middle of nowhere. Refusing to move, Marthe, Michel and their three children find innovative ways to adapt to their new environment. They continue their happy-go-lucky routine despite the daily stress of hundreds of noisy speeding cars. But suspicions about the highway's unknown long-term dangers cause family tension. Remaining in the disrupted household might not be so easy, but it's still their home. Source:http://www.swissfilms.ch/detail_f.asp?PNr=-2072141
