Recently I've seen and enjoyed Frost/Nixon, Kick Ass, Herzong's Bad Lieutenant remake, Youth in Revolt and Shutter Island.
Saw and did not enjoy Book of Eli and Hot Tub Time Machine.
I saw Kill Bill again, back to back. Love that shyte!
Originally posted by badmoonSaw Winter's Bone! Outstanding! While there were some critics that panned it for "playing up" the poverty and desolation, as well as the red-kneckiness, I thought it was spot on. I have, unfortunately, seen many places all across the country that could have been used (with no changes) as the location to shoot the film. It was simply "real" in a way many of the critics are ignorant of.
A couple of top notch films - Restrepo and Winter's Bone
Not quite as good but still good ones in Cyrus and Get Low and Inception.
Originally posted by Dan St JohnHey, that's a great point. I was totally expecting something like Schindler's List when I rented it. The title "Hot Tob Time Machine" really betrays itself, ya know.
You just have to go in to have a good time, not expecting something profound. It's not Atonement, after all.

Crappy Mad Max dystopian, nuclear winter rip-off where lawless warlord tries to find a copy the Bible so that he can control the populus. Denzel is, of course, the protector of the bible. Much stabbing and punching ensues.
Originally posted by darvlayI thought Shutter Island was excellent. Interesting twisty ending until you weren't real sure exactly what was going on.

I recently finally saw Last King of Scotland and Public Enemy. Depp coulda phoned in his performance in Public Enemy, not at all inspired. Forrest Whittaker, however, in Last King of Scotland, impressed me with his Academy Award winning performance of what had to be a tough role.
Originally posted by SuzianneIn Shutter Island, do you think he reverted to psychosis at the end, or do you think he really wanted a lobotomy because of what had happened to him, so he just pretended we was deluded?

I just say "The Disappearance of Alice Creed". Very well plotted, elegant, thriller.
Originally posted by yo its metry Disney's Mulan, no subtitles needed.
I saw Mulan recently it's subtitled so not everyones cup of tea. I thoughty it was fantastic, not really into war films myself but this is more of a love, honour and sadness story.
I saw an education too, it is a good film. Only seams to be women who appreasiate it though, I don't know why that is.
