what did you like about it so much? watched it last night and it didn't really click with me as amazing but not like I wasted 2 hrs watching it

the constant tension of it. and the fact that it didn't go all mushy when it had the opportunity to do so.
I was thinking about why the characters weren't so developed and I thought about our man Tully here who said at one time or another, that the common man will never know the "real reason" one becomes a soldier flirting with death daily (or something to the like)

anyone else see the story of anvil?

 

[Krilons Resa]

End of story!

 

[Demilich]

Alexander was on the history channel last night. Fuck Hollywood. Entertaining but mediocre. 6/10

 

[General Zod]

500 Days of Summer was entertaining. A clever movie, as far as chick flicks go. If your girl wants to see a romantic comedy, this is a good choice.

Up in the Air should be checked out by all.

 

[dill_the_devil]

is it just me or is the second Matrix movie the best?

That's just you man. The Matrix sequels were both utter, unmitigated toss.

doing it now

 

[lurch70]

well, I never thought the word "epic" would come to mind about a drama staring Clooney ... but UP IN THE AIR is the movie of 2009.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Really, really want to see that one - the only one of the three films that Jason Reitman has directed that I've seen was 'Thank You For Smoking', which I loved, and I've heard nothing but glowing praise for Up In The Air.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

Necessary Roughness

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Going stoned to Avatar = Two Pump Chump. Great at first, asleep soon after

 

[Disgustipated]

De Usynlige (Troubles Waters)

A Norwegian film, telling the story of Jan, a bloke that was locked up for the murder of a 4 year old boy, and the discovery of him by the boy's mother after his release back into the world.

Good film. In the end they all turn out to be giant mice.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

"Once"

Not sure if its been discussed, but I loved it. The "theme" song, "Falling Slowly" gives me chills every time I hear it. Probably getting soft in my old age, but ohh well. Beautifully done movie.

I Stand Alone

A former butcher gets out of prison with almost nothing. REVENGE. While vainly provocative, flick answers a couple of questions and the script is very good. Must see!

That was a great movie; one of the better romantic themed movies i've seen in awhile. The ending was also very well done i thought.. There's a lot of good music from that soundtrack; falling slowly like you said, and also "when your minds made up"..i really liked the recording/beach scene, seemed very authentic/genuine

TYFS was ok, didn't see Juno as I hate that fucking chick (probably the only actor/actress that I ever really hated) but with UP IN THE AIR jr. Reitman surpassed pretty much everything that papa ever directed. (lets face it Meatballs, Ghostbusters, etc, while great party flicks were no masterpieces)

Yes, "authentic" is an excellent word to describe that scene for sure. I really enjoyed the scene with Marketa walking home singing the lyrics she had written as well, simplistic but effective.

Ellen Page? Did you see her in Hard Candy? That flick was awesome, and she put in a pretty great performance.

 

[lurch70]

haha, the performance is probably the very reason I hate her she was too good in that.

then watching her later movies, I realized she was basically playing herself in Hard Candy
