Nah, means you like watchin' people getting slashed. ;)

Makes you a little gay.

Unless you pulled out a handful of palm children to Helena Bonham Carter afterwards, like I did.

I'd lost my sexual appetite after seeing all the canabalism and murder.

I also saw Charlie Bartlett, great film!

Just saw No Country for Old Men last week--I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. It's a solid film, flawless direction, and I suppose it's a contender for Best Picture, but it didn't blow me away.

I'll take Lebowski and Fargo.

What's that whiskey film nominated for awards and shit? Looks really boring but the soundtrack's by Johnny Greenwood so I want to check it out.

Cloverfield is just awesome. Best monster-movie ever

Sweet, really lookin forward to that.

Finally saw No Country...thoughroughly enjoyed it. The complete ruthlessness and emotionless portrayal of Anton blew me away. Terribly bleak but so well directed, I couldn't help but like this, kept me on edge nicely.

Watched the first half of Sweeney Todd, thought it was pretty good but I was already up too late when I started watching it so I'll watch the rest later.

Right now Sylveter is on TV so I'm gonna see what he has to say about Rambo. The lads reckon it's good so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Anyone seen that film with Daniel Day-Lewis as an oil-well driller? Worth checking out?

I saw Juno over the weekend. Yeah....that was kind of a mistake (I was with a chick though, so cut me some slack)... the movie totally caters to indie girls. Ellen Page is unbelievably cute, which is the only way this movie is bearable for guys. But her acting was quite underwhelming knowing that she is up for a Oscar for best actress. But I dont know if it was all her fault, since her character was just plain annoying.

And if I learned anything from the movie, unexpecting pregnancy ends happier then a planned pregnancy.

I thought Juno was a pretty good flick, but I thought the hipster schtick to be a bit unbearable in a trying-too-hard sort of way. I did really enjoy Ellen Page and thought she did a wonderful job with the role given to her.

In many ways she was very believable as a sarcastic marches-to-the-beat-of-her-own-drum teen, but what really bugged me was the otherwise emotional detachment from everything to her family, her friends, the sort-of-but-not-really boyfriend that knocked her up, and the child growing inside her. Coming from a mother's perspective (and from having gone through my son's birth which... came as a bit of a surprise!!) I felt Juno's emotional detachment to just about everything to be almost disturbing and even a bit unnerving. Or maybe it was all a part of the bigger hipster schtick. Or maybe the angle was supposed to be unnerving because, afterall, an unplanned teen pregnancy is hardly cause for joy and teens who go through it have to detach themselves somewhat - as a natural defense I suppose.

The scene with her in the clinic was spot on, very nervewracking - if not just the scene but in the way that it was a springboard to the upcming events - yet at the same time that scene too was devoid of emotion which I found somewhat unrealistic and troubling because the choice of abortion is wrought with emotion no matter which side you're on. The one character I felt was most believable in the whole plot was the one played by Jennifer Garner. Though kooky on the exterior she seemed to be the only one that wasn't a part of the emotional void the other characters seemed to suffer from. And I thought she did a damn good job. Her slimy husband with cold feet was good as well.

That said, and my criticism aside, Juno is actually a complex film coming from a number of complex angles giving rise to a plethora of emotions - even if those emotions seem feigned or even non-existant. And as a film it delivered well, despite the faults I found. The subject matter at hand is a hard thing to pull off in film without the plot dissolving into trite and self important territory.

Agreed, that Jennifer Garner was spot on with her performance along with a solid performance with the creepy husband Jason Bateman.

But like I said before, I just didn't understand Ellen Page's character. She seemed like such a scatter brain that was eager to get out a cheesy one liner. Again, this might not have been Ellen's fault, it might have been what that role called for. But in any case I still don't see her performance oscar worthy. At times I literally felt like I was watching the female version of Napoleon Dynamite, minus the over the top nerdy look.

Has anybody told Jack's Revenge that the title of this thread is grammatically incorrect?

I'm currently downloading The Bucket List. Looks like a fun film

Dond dell mee your seariouz?!

But apart from that I'd prefer to say "chemically imbalanced"...

This is only the film I'm interested in seeing

On Saturday, I went to see the U2 3D film. I went with my friend who I've known since forever and we've been to quite a few U2 shows in the past, so it seemed appropriate we should have a girl's nite out with some drinkie drinks, a movie and re-hash some memories.

To be honest I am not one to sit down and watch a concert film - I have to really like the music, really dig the band, and feel some sort of connection to what's going on in order to enjoy a movie of a concert enough to sit through the entire thing. But I'd been looking forward to this film for a few reasons one of them being I've sort of fallen out of love with the band in recent years. Still like them loads, they still sum up a large chunk of my life - but as I've said here in the past, their newer music from this decade hasn't done a whole lot to pique my interest.

So anyway - the film was really good! With it being in 3D and sitting in a dark and somewhat crowded theater, plus having the multi surround sound going on, it was quite a submersive experience. There were some grand moments that got me warm and fuzzy as some of the older material was played. And I'd realized how much things changed in overall delivery (not to mention U2 aren't spring chickens anymore and neither am I) yet at the same time, a lot of things remain the same. Like Bono being the quintessential rock n'roll front man, the theatric political and peacenick undertones are still there and you either love that aspect of the band or you hate it. (thankfully no 10 minute long tirades about Africa and debt and Africa and more debt over and over like how it was when I saw them a couple of years ago). And U2 for what it's worth still keeping to their age old stage mantra of playing each show as it's your last. The movie seemed to capture that quite nicely.

Another thing that was cool to see portrayed in film was just how fucking mega this band's production is. It's like I'd almost forgotten how huge everything is - the stage, the venue, the crowd - even though I've seen this band live 10 times over the years I sort of lost the perspective until it was laid out in front of me once more on Saturday night.

I think the most grand of all the moments, though, were the crowd. God bless 'em. All crowds digging a show from U2 to the Chems to Pink Floyd to everything else that you think is cool to see live - the music may be different but the love is all the same. I've always dug a crowd and like watching them and their reaction so it was great there were a lots and lots of crowd shots in the film - some where you were immersed eye level and with the 3D effect, that typical concert going chick sitting on her boyfriend's shoulders slightly off center from where your "standing" all comes to life somehow in a way that's not quite the same as actually being there, but much more 'real' than what you get sitting on your couch in the living room with the volume down hoping you don't wake the neighbors. There was even a part where someone shook water from a water bottle and the film effect made it immersive, like you were going to be splashed. One cool part that sticks out in my mind was during a more upbeat part of the show and the shot of the crowd put you about 20 feet or so above - so with that nifty 3D effect, the bouncing heads and bodies bobbed up and down almost in the same way that waves ripple on the restless ocean.

I almost felt lazy for just sitting there on my butt in the theater.

So yeah. U2's not everyone's taste and plenty of people might find it hard to justify seeing a movie like this, but I do know some people here like the band. So I thought I would share.

just watched a documentary called "Radiant City".

it was very entertaining. its about a family living in a modern suburbia complex. very depressing, and funny, and scary, and a whole bunch of other things. the ending was a little off-putting, but overall it was very enjoyable, and thought provoking.

Saw the Knight Rider 2008 "film" and it was OK.

Anybody seen "An american crime"? Just saw it a couple of days ago and it makes really me sad.
