LA PIEL QUE HABITO (THE SKIN I LIVE IN)
Recommended. A medical thriller by Almodovar sounds weird enough, still it comprises the best of both genres (Almodovar being in a league of his own), the storyline is clear-cut, gripping, ground-breaking and strangely outrageous without being disturbing. Certainly memorable and unique.

BITWA WARSZAWSKA 1920 3D (BATTLE OF WARSAW 1920 IN 3D)
Watchable. Truly 3D - you see dead men's limbs dangling right in front of you, presenting the history of Eastern Europe comprehensibly even to a foreigner, lively and surprisingly humorous (e.g. "I demand satisfaction! A uniform of a Polish soldier has been stained." "Waiter! Was it pure vodka? Pure vodka staines neither an honour nor a uniform.") What detracts from it is scenography looking fake for the first hour of the movie.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
Watchable. While it's not too funny and I hoped to be in stitches at Woody Allen's comedy, other aspects of the movie don't disappoint. Most remarkably Owen Wilson's Alenesque manner of speech blew me away. As I'm a great fan of time travel both in film and in literature, I enjoyed that part of the plot. And typical for Allen statements like: "The present is always unsatisfying" and hence making people dream of the Golden Age are worth thinking over.
