agreed.. a few inconsistencies but quite a nice movie..
saw 'crash" the other night.. too predictable and not very subtle.. not a movie that deserves an oscar, if you ask me..

i found it more interesting than the ring anyway
Even with its painfully predictable "twist," that movie had the potential to be decent, but they fucked it all up. It's like the writer wanted to create the impression that there was an inseparable connection between the number and the main character, yet gave him completely inconsistent methodologies for deriving this number in everything he saw. Why why WHY didn't they just use simple Pythagorean numerology for everything?
.
i think people are holding it up to way too high of a standard because of the numerology thing

a scanner darkly is one of my favorites. i'd recommend "a walking life" for anly darkly fans. Same director i think with the rotorscope/vector technique but was made before so looks less flashy.
anyone got any ultra trippy reality/perception mind fuck films to reccomend?

Saw Transformers. It's one of those movies where you come out the cinema thinking "that wasn't too bad actually", then you think about it on the way home and by the time you've arrived you realise it was really really shit.
I liked the way they made Octimus Prime really camp though.

Just seen 'Knocked Up' and it's easily the funniest film I've seen since 40 year old virgin or Anchorman.

FINALLY saw Mulholland Drive, after months and months of trying to. Didn't grab me as much as Lynch's other stuff to be honest, but very good all the same. After seeing Inland Empire in the cinema watching his films on a little tv doesn't seem to do them justice

Mr Brooks.
New film with Kevin Costner + Demi Moore.
I usually hate Costner but hes fuckin wicked in this, as is Moore.
Weird plot, but sick.
before that was Superbad, which is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY funny!

Taxidermia - By far the most fucked up and bizarre film i have watched in a long time.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0410730/
One of the most visually stunning film i have seen every scene/shot looks like a work of art.
