The Year My Parents Went on Vacation
Brilliant little movie.
Set in Brazil Jewish community in 1970, the movie focused on a boy named Mauro, who was forced to live with a Rabbi, because his parents have to escape the government due to their leftist political views.

I love the humour and the chemistry between the actors. It was a heartwarming and funny story. The football angle (since the boy is a football fan and the movie timeline was set during the 1970 World Cup) was also good. I would recommend this to anyone.

No Country for Old Men
Javier Bardem is one badass actor!
Starred as a meticulous but ruthless assassin he really own the screen every time he's on. The story is quite simple, about a man who have to run for his life after found himself in possession of 2 million dollars cash, which is the result of a drug deal went wrong.
I never watched a Coen Brothers movie before, but this first experience was a great ride.

A Guide to Recognizing Your Saint
A personal story about Dito Montell, a boy who runs away from his family and end up as successful writer later in life. When his father got sick, he went home to try and patch things up with the people he left behind. Shia Lebouf was fantastic as young Montell. Channing Tatum as well, whose role I've seen so far was in Coach Carter.
