if the script wasn't much longer originally, and then had parts in the middle cut out. That would explain waltz' character change, some very weird montage / "oh here's character A so you've seen him/her before" scenes.

Jackson I really ,really liked as in, he played hilariously good, but probably overshot the target. But it was great fun just watching his performance.

Actually, I think most of the actors were great. Must be a Tarantino thing? A lot of the interaction just felt like the tension etc was all due to his directing. 

Meh, I'dd give it a 6. Probably the highest I've ever given anything Tartinero. Tarnotero. Tarinento... whatever.
Mostly postmodern formalist drivel as far as I'm concerned :P
Could have been a 7 if the second half wasn't so anticlimactic.
Better than the nazi thing, that was one big 2 hour long slowmotion planecrash following the first 15 minutes with the german guy, which was actually good haha. 

But I'm generally very skeptical about Tarantino's movies. With the exception of Jackie Brown, which I like for the music and the chemistry between the two main characters, I find all of his other moves to be meh at best. 

I like Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms and Jackie Brown (I think, been a long time). Kill Bill I loved but I bet if I re-watched them today I would nitpick them to death like a hipster prick.


Taken/96 Hours (2008)
Shallow action movie. A lot of scenes could have been replaced with a simple text "Imagine lots of blur, orchestral umpta umpta music, grunting and glass shattering/cars honking". Some of the resolution made me want to vomit: Fperj gubfr znal bgure tveyf, nyy vf svar vs whfg Xvz vf erfphrq?! Jung unccrarq gb gur bgure tvey ur tbg bhg?

Oh wait, top 500 with a 7.9/10 at imdb. I guess I'm wrong. I was gonna say Ricky would like it and with that I was right at least ("excellent"). 

yeah, i stopped watching that after half an hour or so :-) 

Well that movie had a good effect the first time I saw it, but it gets dull after that. The sequel is really wank. 

Source Code

Huh, I liked it and of course being squeamish and hopelessly cheesy I liked the ending. :-)

Fairly shallow but deep in a different way.

Soundtrack sucked donkey balls on CoD maps in spaaaace. Seriously, I have that style up to "upper edge of the lower lip"! FFS! 

I also watched some really perverted juvenile german fan dubs of the Harry Potter movies which I can highly recommend to any germans with a perverted juvenile mind. http://www.coldmirror-synchros.de/

I watched the Porno-Keller one first and thought it was the best too.

LOL du hast Pimmel gesagt. ^_o 

Source Code is pretty good. Another 2011 (half) sci-fi with great pacing is The Adjustment Bureau.

The Adjustment Bureau

I liked it a lot! Forgot what the summary of it was so I was really surprised at what happened. Feel good movie. 

Been saying this for a while that the amount of intelligent / quirky / cool sci-fi-esque films in recent years is really good. Source Code is definitely a favourite. Adjustment Bureau is the soppy chick-flick of the bunch but still very cool. 

I'm glad you liked it. Of course, it's a bit on the romantic side as Shambler has pointed out but still, it interprets its source material (a short story by P. K. Dick) pretty good. I've never liked Matt Damon much, though he and Emily Blunt perform well as a couple in this context. 

I'd recommend Looper too. It's from the last year. 

 

I found Adjustment Bureau surprisingly not-dark and kinda New-Agey given its source.

Looper was better than both of them, in my view, despite the crazy plot holes. Timecrimes and Triangle both handled time travel, its contradictions and horrifying scenarios, better, though Looper's weak-PK powers scenario was awesome and the writing on the arm thing was pretty clever. 

Source Code used one of the things I hate the most in movies, that I have hated since I saw it in a certain M Night asshole movie: the protagonist is in a really confusing world and the reason why it's all confusing is that the protagonist IS ALREADY DEAD AND JUST CAN'T ACCEPT THAT. Yeah, pointlessly confuse the viewer for 80 minutes only to toss in this "clever" twist in at the end. So maybe Adjustment Bureau was the better of the two just because I hate that "plot" even more than the New Agey stuff. 

had it ended two min before it actually did, I would have liked it more. The last 2 min does cause serious problems with everything that went before.

Also Adjustment Bureau had some serious chemistry between the leads, also better than in SC.

Looper is better than both but not sure its Spirit's kind of movie. 

or like, some top movies 

Source Code would have been way better if it didn't have that last two minutes added on - damn Hollywood's insistence on a happy ending, even in the wildest most physics-bending science fiction, as if the laws of physics care about human desires! Plus that first ending scene looked really cool. 

no idea, but Das Boot and Crna macka, beli macor would be random recommendations for people who ask.

I loved looper!

damn it, when is springbreakers released... 

Phwoar. Coach/phone/coffee scene is too sexy.

Looper > Source Code > Adjustment Bureau

...but then again we're talking about a scale from brilliant to really good :)
