Here are a few films from '08 that I missed. (Most of these are independent films and therefore opened at select theaters across the country, except The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which opens everywhere on 25 December.)

Synopsis: During the final days of communism in Romania, two college roommates Otilia and Gabita are busy preparing for a night away.
