Waltz With Bashir is fucking amazing. Incredible concept too.
The Battle of Algiers is a must watch for everyone btw. Won't real off a load of stuff about it just read the wikipedia article :)

Salvatore Giuliano would probably make a good one with Algiers. Might try it :)

I think Tronyn mentioned this earlier, good film for sure and I dont think I'll forget that chainsaw scene in a hurry.
 Hell Yeah

I'd cry too. jesus. that's a totally different view of the south - I don't imagine it that way now, but maybe in the 30s or something. anyway john hawkes and jennifer lawrence led an amazing cast. it was convincing, however real it might or might not be.

its based on a book from someone who lives in the Ozarks. I'd say there's a good chance it's happening right now.

haha, it was pretty good I thought. Really got the 80's vibe just right, and there are so many references and plain rips from Predator that you just give up trying to take it too seriously after the first 30 minutes or so, which works out in its favour I think ;)
Lead guy wasn't terribly good as the "Arnie type" and his gravel voice sounded very forced, but the other cast members were pretty good.
Nice fighting, etc.
Basicly, its a gung-ho, 80's action film, don't watch it expecting anything more!
 Predators.

Rubbish on many levels. Easily could have been good with an ounce of coherence. But wasn't. IMo.

 That Sort Of Ending
#3946 posted by nitin on 2011/02/26 00:35:28
would have ruined it for me. I think it ended as was hinted at throughout the movie.

insane mountain climbing film set in pre-wwII germany. Crazy stuff and I'm amazed at how the pulled off the visuals, did not look like much CGI at all.

I thought it was very, very obvious that much of it is filmed in studio, and the outside shots looked rather disconnected from the movie, as if they'd just taken shots from documentaries that looked nice.
All in all it's a typical bad German movie, imho. The acting, the directing, the lighting, everything has that typical low-budget "we don't even try" German vibe to it :(
3-4/10 from me ;-)

for me the movie hinted at "they will change, everything will work out" for me. Wishful thinking maybe. Neil would have quit before the job but was loyal to his partners so he was becoming "good".

that's interesting because I saw it on blu ray and apart from a few matte shots, it didnt look like studio shooting.
And whilst the writing could have used work, I thought it was pretty good.

i thought the fact chris got away played a large part in creating a positive ending.
i agree with nitin re: neil though, after the conversation in the restaurant it wouldn't have seemed right if they'd all changed their ways and lived happily ever after. whilst the end scene wasn't happy, i found it more poignant than depressing
excellent film in all, right up there with the best crime thrillers

...that i need more fun stupid brainless comedy type films for hangover viewing. do people have any favourites in this category? or at the very least recommend any that aren't completely shit? my favs from the past few years are probably superbad, the hangover & waiting

Over the past few years, I've vastly enjoyed both 'Little Miss Sunshine' and 'I Heart Huckabees'.

They're similar to The Hangover and Superbad... at least from what I hear as I've never seen The Hangover or Superbad.
 Both Excellent

Pinapple Express is a bit more slapstick, but not by much. Due date is actually quite touching.
I'd give 'em both 8. Maybe 9 and 8 respectively.
