That Sort Of Ending

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.
#3957 posted by rj on 2011/02/27 23:20:13
have seen both of those. well, i saw the first 30 minutes of due date and turned off, didn't get what was supposed to be funny about it at all :S i remember pineapple being quite fun though, may watch again sometime
interesting huckabees got a mention as i only saw that a couple of nights ago. some interesting ideas but it all felt a bit pointless and directionless (maybe that was intentional given the theme) and it just seemed to forget to be funny amidst all the pseudo-intellectual psycho babble. i can see why people like it, but not for me. will check little miss sunshine out though as i've heard a few good reviews about that :)
Pineapple Express

is worth it for first half.
Hot Fuzz fits the hangover bill (not the movie, the condition).
Sucker Punch Looks Pretty Fun...

Colin Farrel. Excruciatingly well done. Bawled at end.
Almost Any Wes Anderson Movie

Haven't seen Bottle Rocket, but every other movie he's done. I think he's a pretty damn fine director, even though his movies all have eerily similar characters and settings, they feel pretty different from each other.
Love them all so far, probably tied for favorite are Fantastic Mr Fox and Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, both are top notch.

Rushmore, and Darjeeling for me. The rest are ok too.

I was so stoked for that but it was pretty meh, really.

You have to be difficult, don't you nitin?
Always :)
#3965 posted by nitin on 2011/03/04 00:57:27
although I think this time I was being less difficult then usual?
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest
#3966 posted by jt_ on 2011/03/04 01:22:36
Was great. Nice ending, too.
Speaking About Hornets...
Marble Hornets is a very well done (ongoing) horror series on Youtube. It's creepy, meandering and unsettling, and there's absolutely no shitty gore, screamers, or little girls with overly long hair.
