Like the one I recently watched, Cashback. It's painfully artsy in a slow-moving nonsensical sort of way. There's a whole lot of emphasis on the female body in a number of ways. Basically, some kid breaks up with his girlfriend in college, can't sleep, takes a night job, finds out he can freeze time, and eyes one of his coworkers. There are few funny bits, though--the salvation of the entire film.

I also so Primer. Pretty awful. Reviews laud it as being ever so smart, but its attempts at such are pretty weak. They throw around a bunch of physics jargon, but none of it actually adds up to real science--I wonder who their advisers on that were. Anyway, some engineer accidentally builds a time machine, plays around with it carefully, but brings his friend in, and shit gets a little muddled. Suddenly there's a plot and a reason for them to do the things they do, but it's incredibly vague and unsatisfying. Not really a worthwhile film.

was that the first one though? That one is pretty good.

Yeah, first one.
Haven't seen the 2nd yet (and may not, now...)


believe me, it's not really worth it. Special effects were great but the movie itself was just too silly...and even Megan Fox didn't look as good as in the first one. I assume that is due to plastic surgery.

I heard the guy who made it is supposed to be somekind of math genius. Beats me though the movie sounds awful, I shall avoid it at all cost!

I loved how all throughout the second movie, especially when you first see her, they try so hard to say "LOOK AT HER, SHES HOT....LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK" And of course with their over use of rehashed things that were done in the first movie, it's really only worth watching if you like fancy special effects.

I feel like you missed the point of the movie. It wasn't really meant to be scary, but more of a vaguely spooky good time in the vein of Beetlejuice and Army of Darkness.

It was certainly one of the funnier movies I've seen this year, and up until recently in my top 5.


I most recently saw the Hangover, finally. I had been avoiding it like the plague because I thought the wedding crashers was, though alright, the most overrated movie I've seen in a LONG time. I do not like frat guy humor. And yet, this was so brilliant it hurt. One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.


Army of Darkness and Evil Dead 1&2 are in my collection, and I like Raimi's work in general but still this wasn't delivering... And I do like old comics like Creepy and Eerie, stories quite similar to this movie. Maybe I was expecting something else, and those disgusting effects are already put in good use at forementioned Evil Dead movies. Funny horror is just getting bit old for me, I would like to see something truly scary for a change...

Moving on, Angels and Demons Wasn't expecting much since I really did not care about DaVinci Code but was infact surprisingly entertaining if not too realistic (but documentaries are for that purpose so...).

To be fair Funny Horror is not a common genre, and very few movies do it well. We're not talking about parody films either.

Saw 2012 tonight, and my advice to you is....switch your brain off, suspend ALL disbelief and any tendency to overanalyse and GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!! It will boggle your mind! Best disater movie ever, no question.
If you simply MUST overanalyse movies you see, don't bother....

Heat is one of my favorite movies. You can't deny that cast OR the director!

Yes, they are breaking EVERYTHING. Such scenes of all out, unmitigated destruction and chaos on screen these eyes have never seen...

Mr. Holland's Opus. It makes me cry every time.

Seriously, if you like classical music and emotional stories about perseverance in the face of adversity...this one's for you!!

Are they showing people die? Liked heads smashed with falling concrete and stuff or simply empty ghost-cities sinking?

Not sure about smashed heads, but they basically lay waste to the entire world...
