Movie Recs?

Let The Right One In was fantastic.

Anyone seen In The Loop?  I am too lazy to read all the previous posts to see.  I thought it was the smartest, funniest movie I've seen in a really long time.

One of my favorites by Polanski is, "The Pianist". Damn good film.

Oh, and I also began "Tyson". After 10 minutes of not being to hear or understand Mike, I had to shut it down.

I thought Tyson was great. I did try several times to turn on the subtitles because I was eating cereal throughout most of my viewing but the captioning only seemed to capture the thoughts and feelings of the sporadic narrator.

Had high hopes that Pandorum would be one of those random awesome movies, like Doomsday about a year ago, but unfortunately it is not awesome nor random.

Zombieland approaches. Trepidation mounts but a starving man doesn't turn down Campbells Soup when its whats for dinner.

I think Zombieland has the potential to be super camper-ific.

not as good as Valentino: The Last Emporer . . . your people have no taste.

Well, I'm sure we can both agree we're awaiting the English version of Coco Avant Chanel badly.

this was a review i read about that film:    "Coco Avant Chanel looks great but it evokes nothing. Consequently, it fails."  ouch.

Wow, you're nearly as behind on movies as I am, and you don't even have a two year old to blame.

Good soundtrack, and I'd argue that Colin Farrell is a better country singer than Jeff Bridges.

I thought Crazy Heart was pretty good.  Great performances. 

I also thought Role Models was way funnier than the Hangover. The Hangover was BORING

I recently rented Fish Tank, Sugar, and Moon.  All good.

My favorite movie of late though was The Hurt Locker.

Saw In the Loop in the theater.  Smartest, funniest movie of last year!!!!  I bought it :)

I'll second Whiteout being mega-laughable. It's genuinely funny if you watch it in a packed theater…too bad you missed that opportunity the day it came out. Kate Beckinsdale basically spends the entire movie making observations of things the audience already sees/has seen. ("It's a body! I think he was stabbed in the chest!", "It's really cold out. There's ice everywhere!", "Diamonds!")

Hahaha – I saw that movie on my flight back from London in January (couldn't sleep), and it was impressively bad.  As you say, the dialogue is mostly Statements of the Obvious.

I saw North Face (The "Teutonic Titanic") over the weekend.  It's a real cliffhanger.

I saw The White Ribbon over the weekend. It was excellent.

Also, I really want to see Hot Tub Time Machine.

The Ghost Writer, Roman Polanski's new film starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan, is great.  A Hitchcockian, stylish thriller with contemporary political overtones.  Performances and cinematography are superb.

I just saw 2012.  That's all.

over this weekend, watched kelly's heroes and north by northwest.  yes, watch both of them.

Can't wait to see it.

This should be entertaining, if only because Perry is certifiably batshit.

Is there a movie thread? I watch a handful a year, max… but I watched "The Whale" on the plane the other day. Holy shit, that was depressing.
