Last three: Charlie Bartlett (worthwhile, great acting if a slightly confused storyline), The Business (a good timewaster) and Before Sunset (clever and enjoyable, but not really re-watchable).

2005 Nick Love/Danny Dyer collaboration? I know someone who is in that -he's been in quite a few of Love's films.

That's where they play that game with matches, isn't it? I've been wanting to watch that for a long time...

It is indeed. A very odd and open-ended film. I was pleased to discover according to imdb that some of my ideas about the meaning of the film had been suggested at the behest of Resnais by a French critic in the 1960s.

I would definittely recommend it.

Have you seen Hiroshima Mon Amour? That's also Resnais (the only of his films that I've seen). Definitely very strange, but I sort of liked it. He seems like an interesting director.

I have not, Marienbad is the only one I have seen. Will look into it/add it to my long list.

I saw Vantage Point over the weekend.  It wasn't bad.  It was very different.

Same here. I think I expected better but all in all, it was a good movie.

I actually want to see this movie 21 about the card counters.

I wanted to see 21 until I read all the terrible reviews. Now I'll wait for the DVD.

It's just a modern-day rip-off of Rashomon from what I've heard. Mind you, I haven't seen it yet so I'm gonna reserve judgement.

Anyone seen Funny Games?  The trailer looked very interesting but one review I looked over said it actually got rather cliched through the majority of the movie.

As I said 21 is a good movie for everyone besides BRTD since he has weird ass views on stuff.

I've seen the original and this one is supposedly basically identical except it's in English, and it sounds like that review missed the point completely. Anyone should be warned though that it'll leave you rather pissed off and disturbed since that's exactly what it's supposed to do.

As I said 21 is a good movie for everyone besides BRTD since he has weird ass views on stuff.

Uh, it has a 31% on Rotten Tomatoes. I might still like it, I've liked movies with similar or lower scores before, but it does mean I won't spend $8 and drive out to the suburbs* to see it. I'll wait for it to hit the cheap theater at least.

*Isn't it funny that it's actually easier for me to see indie and arthouse movies than mainstream ones? There's only two mainstream theaters in Minneapolis, one's only a 6 screen, the other is a single screen and it's the mentioned cheap theater (though it usually shows 5 or 6 movies at a time, just with only one showing a day.) All the big multiplexes that show mainstream movies are in suburban malls, meaning I have to drive further to see the latest big budget blockbuster than some obscurish art flick. Kind of ironic.

Indeed. Danny Dyer is cute Smiley

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Not one of the best films I have ever seen but not the worst.

In the past 3 or so days I've seen Ocean's 13, and Live Free Or Die Hard.

I really enjoyed both.

Live Free or Die Hard was awesome...and even had the original Die Hard score from '88. However, to me, Rambo felt more like a Rambo movie than Live Free or Die Hard felt like a Die Hard. Impressive given that only 12 years had passed since the last Die Hard while 20 years had passed since the last Rambo.

Yes it was awesome. I noticed the original theme music too. I thought it was a nice touch. I haven't seen any of the Rambo films. But I have seen all the Lethal Weapon ones. Odd. O_o

Well I've seen all those already Smiley  I liked them, that's why I'm watching his other stuff.  I've got Last Temptation of Christ, Bringing out the Dead and The Age of Innocence lined up next although I'm not so keen on the last one.
I watched Age of Innocence last night.  meh.  It was a little better than I expected.  Winona Ryder was a little more wooden than normal.  I don't plan on watching it again anytime soon.  (unlike the Departed or Last Temptation, I wanted to watch those again right away)

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am the very model of a modern major procrastinator; in the last 24 hours I have watched: LA Confidential, Accepted, Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced, The Football Factory and half of Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Yeah...you gotta see all the Rambos....good stuff.

I watched "The Ice Harvest" (2005) with John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton. Pretty decent movie.

Then I watched "No Country for Old Men"...fantastic film.

Some pretty good films there. You seem to be a bit of a Nick Love fan or is it just Danny Dyer? I'd recommend Goodbye Charlie Bright if you can get hold of it. I think Danny Dyer might have a small part in it as well.

Just saw Night on Earth. Pretty good series of vignettes; the Winona Ryder one is pretty weak though.
