superman is a dick 

lawl. But yeh, Superman is a pansy, seriously. 

Altho tbh, Spider Jerusalem would kick both their arses 

it was good. not GREAT, but good. i enjoyed it and would love to watch it again but can't say i was totally blown away by it

the concept was intruiging and explored really well. it keeps you thinking without ever being too confusing or high-brow. some neat ideas and fascinating visuals.. and plenty to talk about when we left the cinema too

on the other hand, some of the action scenes felt a little too strung out, and the main character's sub-plot seemed to interfere a bit too much and wasn't all that satisfying. ellen page's character seemed to only exist to help explain to the audience what was happening (although i have to admit i was grateful for this in places)

definitely worth a watch, particularly if you like nolan's other stuff, but don't expect it to be teh bestest filum evar, although i would probably rank it as my favourite so far this year 

I generally agree - it is by far the most ambitious film I've ever seen in theatres, and it doesn't succeed 100%, but it is really awesome, the degree to which the concept is explored is impressive, and a lot of the action scenes were good. DiCaprio was good as the main character, I liked the stuff about his character though (SPOILER HINT ALERT) after seeing Shutter Island only a few months ago, it seemed almost too similar. Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot and I'm going to have to see it again. When Peter Jackson made Return of the King, the studios let him do whatever he want; he made "King Kong." Nolan's financial license from TDK seems to have been used for better purposes with this film. 

he must really like em.

I loved the movie, but it is bound to be over-rated, and I've heard a couple people say it's 'the new matrix'.

I kind of agree in that I enjoyed the parts before everything started exploding more.

ps - king kong is kind of awesome. 

Maybe you guys can help, as you've been very helpful in the past! =)

What I've seen recently

BSG
SG-U
The Wire
Treme
The pacific

Now I'm twiddling my thumbs trying to find something worth watching again, any suggestions? 

Don't have a TV but at bird's house recently have been watching Misfits and find it quite entertaining and a bit different, good dialogue too. 

Deadwood and/or Carnivale is done I take it?

Otherwise, I love Mad Men (although it may not be your type of thing) and Breaking Bad is also excellent. 

Oz?

(and yeh, I'd second the Deadwood/Carnivale too) 

The only things I'm watching currently are True Blood and Justified, both of which are very good. 

Breaking Bad, True Blood, Justified, but also a new show called Persons Unknown 

I'm a little ambivalent towards this, the main character and her best friend are really grating on me. But some of the other stuff is good and its definitely watchable. 

but the brother is priceless and he alone makes it worthwhile 

his whole storyline is what is keeping me going in season 2 (3/4 of the way through). 

Great film, does exactly what it promises, although the mad curving city shit is negligible. Like TDK it's an action crime thriller dressed up as (sort of) sci-fi, and it does that very well. The action is pretty average but the concept and the set-ups and dicking around with dreams within dreams are all very cool, I particularly like the "timings" aspect.

TBH I think a film doesn't really do the idea justice and it could easily be longer and more indepth, particularly with the background to both the dream-tinkerers (what context do they exist in) and their targets. 

Sorry, I saw it. But at least you don't have to. A fine blend of cliches, vacuousness, contradictions and non-sequitors. The basic premise is fine, the characters are tolerable, but it's full of obvious errors and gaps. Not only obvious, but very obviously fixed to. Hour of brainstorming on the bog and I could have made it twice the film. 

Really very good, yes. Nice to see a big budget film with a brain. Lots to say but don't want to give spoilers :-) Go see. 

Yeah its a great one!

I kinda feel the same way as Mr Rj about it, its certainly the best film I've seen this year. The trailer is a tad misleading as I was expecting more of an action heavy approach but the film is more of a discovery thriller with action tacked on, its not any worse off for it, I was just expecting something slightly different.

[now possible small spoilers part]

I found the whole idea of architects fascinating, as I'm sure a lot of other level designers did, as they get to basicly do your job at the highest level possible :) Ellen Page's character could have dropped a few Ogre's in or some scrags and I would have bought that completely :)

Really interesting film! 

i'm not actually sure i like it more than kick-ass :) hard to compare though... 

seemed to me like the whole last half is an action scene. 

tacked right on at the end, see, right after the climax. 

After Kick-Ass, Hot Tub Time Machine and Solomon Kane, it was brilliant. Best heist movie this year, definitely. 

Zombieland (2010)

Pretty mediocre after the good beginning. Bill Murray was just stupid (might have been fun for USA people, but over here he is not well known). And the whole setup for the ending was dumb. Good feedback on hits. 5/10 

Over here, Bill Murray is not well known? You must have been born in the nineties.
