Yeah a friend of mine had the same thought. It's a chase movie, feels a bit like Minority Report in places too imo.
It ain't Stalker but it's a fun film :p
 So You Mean

the leads are actually watchable? I was interested but those three leads are pretty bland.
Tronyn, how good is Fassbender and shame he is wasted in crap like X Men First Class.
I think it was fine if you compare it to other recent action films and not proper hard sci-fi. It's central idea is silly but it's heart is in the right place.
Main characters didn't bother me, but they are very stock and not at all memorable. I was more interested in where he was going with it. Certainly fine to say that the characters are dull.
It is a very silly idea but people don't have a problem with this in stuff like Inception so whatever.
America looks a little less corrupt in comparison - but it looks a lot more hypocritical!
You should watch The Trap documentary by Adam Curtis. It has a section on the fall of the soviet union and how the west moved in and by insane economic moves created the Oligarchs and in turn led the country to Putin.
In fact you should pretty much watch anything by Adam Curtis ever, it's all good :)
 Fair Enough

will watch it. I just think Niccol is a better writer than director (Lord of War being a case in point). Whereas I rate Nolan as a better filmmaker than writer making plot silliness more forgivable.
Yeah that's fair enough, it's very unremarkable in that way, and Niccol is a very samey director.
tbh a colaboration between them would be interesting. I think Nolan is losing his way a bit since the Prestiege :/

Justin Timberlake (lol) is actually not too bad at acting. HE has a great moment where you drop to your knees and scream:
"NOOOOOOO!O!OO!O!O!O!!!!!!!"
It's wasn't that convincing, but you could tell that he tried :D :D :D
Overall I enjoyed the film.

has anyone seen this doc? It's german, but with english subtitles. I definitely reccomend looking it up to get an interesting glimpse of the current world economic market. Some really REALLY interesting scenes and locations, and also interesting talking heads. if you like talking heads.

just realised I didnt pimp this, excellent little animated flick that didnt get as much coverage as it should have. Probably because its borderline unmarketable with most of its (rather quirky) jokes coming through clever dialogue and characterisation rather than visual gags.
Riffs a lot of classic movies too including a priceless setpiece moulded on the Flight of the Valyries invasion from Apocalpyse Now.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
Great humour, sometimes hard to get, dragging, weird ending, did not get the german guy himself. Not the masterpiece I expected but definitely a good movie I will probably see again.
She's out of my league (2010)
Watched this as motiv--- no wait. I like teen romance comedies. This one was pretty good. Ultra hot Alice Eve (might know her from Big Nothing). Liked it!
Slackers (2002)
Kinda dark humor teen comedy romance thing. Social fucktard blackmails exam cheaters to get him a girl. Was really nice until later. Sucked badly then. 4/10.
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Fun. Not great but good. And feel-good too.

I watched Little Miss Sunshine twice and find it quite overated. It's pretty dull and not really that charming.
I didn't like Dr Strangelove the first time I saw it. Maybe I was too young. But the second time I loved it.
Haven't seen She's Out of My League or Slackers.
Started watching Kingdom Hospital. I'm not Stephen Kings biggest fan - he's done some brilliant stuff, but he's also done a lot of garbage. Only up to episode 4, it's pretty good so far. Not spectacular - but fully deserving of a 10.30 timeslot. Would be interesting to see Lars Von Trier's version of Kingdom Hospital, the original version.
Anyone seen both King's Kingdom Hospital and Lars' The Kingdom?

 A Serbian Film

if you want to watch that, don't read the above.
 What?!
 Sorry

"A Serbian Film" is the name of a film. Made in Serbia.
 I've Been Recommended To Watch That

with the supporting statement "you'll totally vomit bro"
 Yeah

I have seen it. you might.
 +1 To Watching A Serbian Film And Vomiting
#4497 posted by RickyT33 on 2011/12/13 12:38:44
I watched it. The uber-contraversial scene (er, isn't that just the whole second half of the movie, lol, but seriously) with the baby - well, It was almost as though they threw that in there, just to get people talking about the movie (or writing to their local MPs).
The film itself is actually quite well acted and shot. And there is a classic scene where the lead characted kills a male, using a method which I dont think I have seen before in a movie.
Also - dont watch with your GF in the room, even if she isn't watching the movie. She will over-hear the movie, and then accuse you of watching a porno. And you will feel cheated, because trust me braw - it aint no porno.

overly silly but entertaining as hell UK crime show with Stringer Bill playing a cliche morally compromised detective.
Dripping with atmosphere and Elba is magnetic but you have to be able to look past formulaic characters and plotting. If you can, very enjoyable ride.
 Okay
on behalf of all semi-adjusted people, fuck you for promoting such garbage.
