Soul eater

Very good anime, still in the making, revolving around a school of students training to fight against witches and daemons. Very funny. Good drawing, HD quality graphics.

Toradora!

Funny anime, still in the making, featuring a girl quite tsundere (if you don't know what that means, be ashamed and check wikipedia).

Moyashimon

Short and funny story about a guy than can see microbes. Gets better and better. Recommended.

Claymore

Good anime, quite short, about powerful girls fighting monsters. Nice drawing, good story, good logic, not too long (26 episodes). Recommended.

The Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=8746

A funny parody of dungeons & monsters games and anime. Liked it all. Each episode is a little bit surprising. The main characters are funny, the adventures are mostly funny. What's not to like ?

Anger Management

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305224/

Overall, I think it's an "ok" movie. But I did find some scenes that I really liked, so I kind of recommend it :D

Gomorra

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929425/

Life as a gangster / outlaw is not how it's showed in the movies. But ... I feel Gomorra shows the reality. I like films that are connected to reality, and I definitely liked this one. After seeing it, I also understood more about some Italians I worked with, about their way of being. (the ones I know aren't mobsters, by the way :) )

Here's a trailer.

Pineapple Express

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910936/

Liked it, felt very funny to me. At least some of it, anyway :)

Encounters at the End of the World

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1093824/

I like the way the narrator speaks, slow and with purpose. I like the stories of some of the people working near the South Pole, at the end of our world. I like the story about the insane / disoriented penguins, and the sounds the seals make while in the water. And the feeling of peace and bigger purpose that I got from this documentary.
