Easy - with Marguerite Moreau and Naveen Andrews. Finally, another solidly all-around good movie. While the chronology and pacing might be a bit tricky to keep up with, that would only be if you weren't really paying attention, at least in my opinion. It was nice surprise to see my favorite actor from Lost (Andrews) playing a quite similar, but quite different role (soldier:poet, but with little personality difference). Moreau filled out a role that basically had most of the movie based around her charm quite nicely, as well. One of the most interesting aspects of the movie for me was how it created a community of characters, such that the layered variations in relationships could play out with little reliance on setting, or even backstory excepting plot-related detail. So, maybe like theatre, I guess? I'm hesitant to make a comparison with little knowledge in that regard. I will, however, make (yet another, out of the many) comparison to Evolution's Shore, in that the pattern the main character's development follows is almost identical between the stories.

Shaun of the Dead - with Simon Pegg and Kate Ashfield. Dumb, but not in a bad way. There were a good deal of genuinely funny parts, though the beginning was a tad slow. But hey, what would be looking for in a parody of Romero flicks (besides a lot of small references)? And there were cute English women.

Futurese - looking at the projected trends might be fun to play around with, that is, in trying to say it out loud (might be a vaguely fun way to learn phonetics symbols, too)
---also, Xenolinguistics for anyone who couldn't get over the Star Trek everybody-magically-speaks-English schtick (which, I feel compelled to note, Farscape at least made a decent effort towards)
