Carlos, I see you are on quite the Frank Capra kick...
You should watch Meet John Doe as well if you haven't already. I highly recommend it! :)) rthornhill...

See, the thing is, in Scotland, funding is paid for Scottish students and European students I think. The problem is, I'm not sure about post-graduate study! I'm not at all sure of scholarships. The University is the second best in the city and they were quite demanding for law, but for PhD students I'm sure they'd be open (again, not sure about scholarships though!)

Bio:
Brazilian guy living in Berlin, sun sign Taurus with ascendant in Gemini, born in Rio de Janeiro, graduated in Physics, cinephile, addicted to the Seventh Art. As a movie-lover with an eclectic taste, I like all genres and every type of films, from cult to mainstream, films d'auteur to pure entertainment, silent classics to blockbusters in 3D, Hollywood to European Cinema, arthouse to B movies, animations to documentaries, horror movies to comedies, spaghetti westerns to wuxia, short films to miniseries. What I don't like is to see plot holes, bad acting, cheap sentimentality, dubious morality, lack of internal coherence, easy dei ex-machina, worn-out clichés, obvious stories or painful dialogue that seems written by a retard. Cinema is supposed to be an art, it cannot be that hard to make something at least coherent and logical. Also, I never go see a movie holding expectations or imagining that it will be great. If even Scorsese delivered a disappointing mess like Gangs of New York while a mediocre director like Shyamalan had a breakthrough with his outstanding The Sixth Sense, then obviously we cannot be sure about any movie before seeing it.

Oblivion

Oblivion

(2013)
5 days ago via Flixster

Repetitious, confusing and mainly unfocused, Oblivion is a misconceived hodgepodge of clichés and contrivances from the first scene to the last. The result couldn't be stodgier and more predictable than what we see here.

A Countess from Hong Kong

A Countess from Hong Kong

(1967)

Chaplin's last film and the only one in colors, a funny, delicious screwball comedy with very fine performances by a great cast - except Tippi Hedren, who is not really in tune with the others. And the chemistry between Brando and Loren is phenomenal.

A King in New York

A King in New York

(1957)
31 days ago via Flixster

A satisfying though uneven Chaplin comedy that he clearly envisaged as a criticism on the American society and the absurdity of McCarthyism. There are some memorable scenes, including a hilarious surprise dinner, but also just as many less successful ones.

Seven Psychopaths

Seven Psychopaths

(2012)
31 days ago via Flixster

A funny dark comedy that has some very inspired moments, but McDonagh does not know exactly what to do with the material in his hands and so he keeps pulling easy tricks out of his sleeves at the expense of a more elaborated structure.
