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

 +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.

A quote from the sick fuck working for the NY Times who reviewed this movie:
What you make of this spectacle � which is filmed, not without skill, in slick and lurid widescreen composition � will depend to some extent on how you interpret the movie�s title, with its deadpan implication of typicality. �A Serbian Film� refers both to Mr. Spasojevic�s movie and also, perhaps more directly, to the movie inside it, which Vukmir envisions as a transcendent expression of Serbia�s national identity. The framing tale, with its allusions to the Balkan wars of the 1990s and the greed and political corruption that followed, can thus be seen as a piece of corrosive social criticism, exposing a national psychology of sadism, misogyny and self-pity. That it may also be an example of those things is no contradiction. �That is cinema!� Vukmir exclaims as his masterpiece reaches its unspeakably savage climax. �That is film!� It�s hard to argue, even though this Serbian film is almost as hard to watch.
I think some might be giving the movie too much, or too little credit. I'm not sure yet.
 I Have No Intention Of Watching It Again

 So Has Anyone Else Seen Louie

I just got through Season 1, a bit hit and miss overall but I really like where it goes sometimes and how Louis C.K. seems to have total creative control.
Looking forward to season 2.

Elba was amazing as Bell, but it's his businessman-like coolness in The Wire that gives him this big edge whereas there aren't so many black gangster roles available in wide-opening movies (despite real facts about how often a gangster in America ought to be black, not leonardo dicaprio). First they talk about Elba playing Bond (he'd be awesome) and then they talk about Elba playing Batman (again, he'd be awesome). But, awesome as Elba is it's like they're picking a black guy without any quote unquote black mannerisms or language which might alienate soccer moms.
Totally back to the subject at hand, I'll watch a serbian film, I mean I won't subject myself to shit that's disgusting for me to handle, beyond a certain point, if I'm convinced it has no point. But if the director convinces me it has a point I'll watch. Which leaves open the possibility of a giant hoax on people with this attitude... but whatever.
 Anyone Going To Watch This New Ridley Scott Flick?

 Yes Sir

might be shit but its the best shot at a good Aliens film, rather than say AvP 3.
 Louie

Louis CK not only has full creative control, but edits the episodes himself on his laptop! Honestly I think the show doesn't match up to his stand-up, which is amazing, but it's worth a watch.
 Just Watched Season 1 On Netflix

 Metropolis

Anyone seen the 2001 anime Metropolis? 10/10 fantastic movie. If I were a director and just had to remake a movie for yankee viewers, as they do, then I'd remake this as a live action.
I think it just needed a bit more exploration/adventure and little less back and forth of the robot between goodies/baddies.

yeah doesnt surprise me, wears its low fi heart on its sleeve IMHO.
Just finished Akira for the first time, quite an experience! Easily the best anime film I've seen, although the last 20 min seemed a little rushed IMHO.
Also saw Hanna last night, brilliant sound design and some wonderful visuals but script was a little too pedestrian.
 The Illusionist And The Adjustment Bureau
#4512 posted by nitin on 2011/12/26 08:45:17
the first is a beautiful animated film from Sylvain Chomet that is even better than his brilliant Triplets of Belleville. The hand drawn animation is gorgeous (especially in HD) and I just love how he gives character to every little detail in the frame. Has more heart than most live action films I have seen recently.
As for Adjustment Bureau, utterly ridiculous and a rubbish last act but very entertaining thanks to the chemistry between the two leads and some striking visuals from John Toll. I didnt bat an eyelid at Damon searching for Blunt for 3 years, Elise was perfectly played.
 AB.

I enjoyed it a lot. Best romantic film I've seen.
Elise was rad, I totally fell in love with her on the bus.
 This.
