I was going to suggest keeping the drunk posting in the relevant place (politics thread?) but I enjoyed that rant immensely, 5 Unabombers out of 5.

But clash of the titans (2010) should be skipped even if you're in the mood for brainless action or mind-blowing effects (they were quite bad actually).
On the other hand, that Dorian Gray movie was interesting. Not necessarily a good movie, though.
I Saw Dorian Gray This Friday
Your mileage may vary, but I found it pretty decent.
Haven't read the novel though.

is a great piece of writing and although I've only seen the 1946 version, there really cant be a bad adaptation of it.

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
Nice style, great laughs (with always perfect timing). Absolutely recommended if you like animation movies.
Don't watch the trailer, it gives away 95% of the whole story...
Too Late...

I enjoyed that, lovely visuals and some good gags.
Shutter Island

loved this. saw roughly where it was going about halfway through but most of the 'sub-twists' i didn't get (ie. the explanations behind the details). i definitely want to see it again to pick up on stuff.
leo is getting to be one of my favourite actors. he's great in this, and in some ways i couldn't help comparing his character to cobb from inception... there are a few parallels and i think this film executes them slightly better.
in relation to a post by nitin a short while ago i'd probably even rate this as my fav scorsese film (although i haven't seen the aviator admittedly)

(sorry, just wanted to give those films a kick, he's certainly been in some good stuff)
I Didnt Like Shutter Island Much Actually

in fact I'd take the above average Body of lies over it anyday :)
Shutter Island's plot (which admittedly comes straight from the book) just didnt sit well with me.

I liked the time period. I liked the 'mood.' I did not like the 'twist' because it was something you could predict from the commercials.

fortunately i knew pretty much nothing about the film before seeing it, just went by a recommendation.. which probably helped. but even then the overall twist is made pretty obvious throughout the film; it's just the details that click together in a surprising way
Teeth.

Promising premise that had the potential to be weird, darkly humourous, and totally fucked up, but it just didn't capitalise on it. Because the premise is such a one trick pony, it needed a lot more atmosphere and clever set-ups to keep it gripping and freaking, but it didn't have that (apart from the brother's flashback maybe).
Dull and disappointing.

Is that the one where a chick's vag has a snaggletooth or something?

"The Killer Inside Me"? Recent film with the guy who plays the coward Robert Ford in that recent Brad Pitt movie. I thought that TKIM was a very well made and well acted film, and the lead character plays another scumbag who everyone is supposed to hate. And it has 2 A list hotties in it, who get their boobs out! :D But MY GOD this film is horrid. Really gritty and horrible. Some of th most harrowing death scenes I have ever seen. More disturbing than any of the SAW movies, but that is because it is excruciatingly realistic and un-glamorous. Watch it if you are feeling like a tough guy.

teeth was terrible, but terrible in a good way if that makes any sense. it was still entertaining and quite comically fucked up; left me sitting cross-legged too :Z

Loved this movie, cried all the way through. If you haven't seen it I recommend it. Amazing story!
