Thinking they are the same person, Colonel?
It's about an Italian hitman who takes in an orphaned girl after her drug dealer family are executed by a corrupt government official.
It a revenge story pretty much, but there is also this brooding relationship between the two that borders on the inappropriate.
It's the film which Natalie Portman of Black Swan fame made her name.

One might have to invest in this on dvd then 8)
Im guessing its a fairly recent film ?!
I wanna say 1994... but could be wrong.
Anyway, she was about 12 when she starred in it

Think it was just called "the professional" stateside. Great movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110413/
Saw Priest the other day and quite liked it, source code is also quite good.
Thanks I have seen this before, it is a good movie
Tree of Life ... possibly the most beautiful film I've ever seen.

(granted, I love Terrence Malick...) - just don't go expecting a brad pitt/penn/etc. film - its bigger/better than that.
'Cave of Forgotten Dreams' was brilliant as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZFP5HfJPTY
As far as summer flicks...
I thoroughly enjoyed 'X-Men, First Class' (but it is a bit graphic for younger children, kids were screaming/crying all over at the afternoon screening I was at in Brooklyn...)
'Super 8' is a blast, perfect summer/escapist movie (imo): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpzUCA5i6zY
Kinda looking forward to this:
'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8D2NIGEJW8

I saw the trailer for this when I saw Hangover 2 - looks very exciting! (I havent seen any of the Planet of the Apes but this looked good)
Bit out of leftfield, but there was a re-run of the Paul Newman file "Slap Shot" on tv over here last week.
Classic!! 8)

Saw "Watchmen" last night and loved it.The opening scene where nat king cole's unforgetable plays while a fight scene is played out is bizarre and carla gugino is a absolute goddess.
I agree

Compared to the book it's an absolute travesty.

Really? i've not read the book so i can't comment, it can be difficult sometimes if you read a book before watching the film. I read trainspotting before seeing the film and felt a bit let down.
