Deadwood and/or Carnivale is done I take it?
Otherwise, I love Mad Men (although it may not be your type of thing) and Breaking Bad is also excellent.
Hmm

Oz?

The only things I'm watching currently are True Blood and Justified, both of which are very good.
Yeah
Breaking Bad, True Blood, Justified, but also a new show called Persons Unknown
True Blood

I'm a little ambivalent towards this, the main character and her best friend are really grating on me. But some of the other stuff is good and its definitely watchable.
Agreed
but the brother is priceless and he alone makes it worthwhile
Totally Agree

his whole storyline is what is keeping me going in season 2 (3/4 of the way through).
Inception.

Great film, does exactly what it promises, although the mad curving city shit is negligible. Like TDK it's an action crime thriller dressed up as (sort of) sci-fi, and it does that very well. The action is pretty average but the concept and the set-ups and dicking around with dreams within dreams are all very cool, I particularly like the "timings" aspect.
TBH I think a film doesn't really do the idea justice and it could easily be longer and more indepth, particularly with the background to both the dream-tinkerers (what context do they exist in) and their targets.
Predators.

Sorry, I saw it. But at least you don't have to. A fine blend of cliches, vacuousness, contradictions and non-sequitors. The basic premise is fine, the characters are tolerable, but it's full of obvious errors and gaps. Not only obvious, but very obviously fixed to. Hour of brainstorming on the bog and I could have made it twice the film.
Inception

Really very good, yes. Nice to see a big budget film with a brain. Lots to say but don't want to give spoilers :-) Go see.
Inception

Yeah its a great one!
I kinda feel the same way as Mr Rj about it, its certainly the best film I've seen this year. The trailer is a tad misleading as I was expecting more of an action heavy approach but the film is more of a discovery thriller with action tacked on, its not any worse off for it, I was just expecting something slightly different.
[now possible small spoilers part]
I found the whole idea of architects fascinating, as I'm sure a lot of other level designers did, as they get to basicly do your job at the highest level possible :) Ellen Page's character could have dropped a few Ogre's in or some scrags and I would have bought that completely :)
Really interesting film!

i'm not actually sure i like it more than kick-ass :) hard to compare though...
Action Tacked On?
#3376 posted by Drew on 2010/07/24 14:51:45
seemed to me like the whole last half is an action scene.
#3377 posted by meTch on 2010/07/25 18:50:10
tacked right on at the end, see, right after the climax.
Inception

After Kick-Ass, Hot Tub Time Machine and Solomon Kane, it was brilliant. Best heist movie this year, definitely.

Zombieland (2010)
Pretty mediocre after the good beginning. Bill Murray was just stupid (might have been fun for USA people, but over here he is not well known). And the whole setup for the ending was dumb. Good feedback on hits. 5/10
What?
Over here, Bill Murray is not well known? You must have been born in the nineties.
#3381 posted by Spirit on 2010/07/31 10:55:05
No, the eighties. And if it was not for the internet I would still not know him.
Bill Who?
#3382 posted by Shambler on 2010/07/31 11:51:46
That was the low point of the film.

Wasn't he the kid in the Lost in Space television series? :D

Is a household name. He was the main guy in Ghostbusters for starters. Groundhog Day.....?
"Watched" Predators. Thought it was good.
"Good"
