The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)

I believe the following are must watch on priority basis:
Gladiator http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0172495/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Kingdom of Heaven http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320661/?ref_=nv_sr_2
Braveheart http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112573/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Quite an average movie. There was a lot of hype over the Stallone-Schwarzenegger combo, but in the end the movie turned out to be another over-hyped product, just like The Last Stand.

The new x-men.

Action: Django or Kill Bill

Tarantino is artist. I know that not anybody likes his style so either you hate it or love it. I recommend.


Action: Grilled

This was just so weird. Things just happened and came from bushes.. there was logic but lots of surprises. I enjoyed so much watching this.


Action: Robocop 1-3

There is so much politics in this. It's like Matrix but in 1980's and 1990's. Deathscenes are ok too. BUt mostly i enjoy the environment they have created.


Animation: Metropia

This one is also so political. It's based on dystopian future that seems to go even worse.. and while things happen you really don't know if someone is on good side or bad side. It's so much fun looking this. Lot's of brilliant twists and clever plotline all in all.


Animation: Mary&Max

More dramabased animation. This almost made me cry. It's so deep, so cute but also so grey and dark.


Comedy: Invention Of Lying

One of the best comedies i've seen. The premise is this: We live on earth where everyone speaks only the truth until one guy accidentally happens to create a lie. There are so many funny things in that world. Like how movies are just guy reading history books (because fiction is lying) and and and.. i recommend to watch it.


Drama: Youth Revolt

Normally i don't like teenlovemovies but this one is different. Charaters aren't cliches and they really have problems. The girl is strong but weird.. while she is bit extreme, she still resembles of person i think lot of us have met.. not the blurry mix of all girls, the strong and sharp figure of one. And the main guy.. the twist about him is awesome. It comes from nowhere and changes the whole movie. It's just awesome. It's like two movies in one. I like it.


Horror: Waz

If you liked Saw-movies but you thought it had something missing.. well.. this one might fix that. It's almost like Saw + Seven combined and while there are some actors not doing their job (like one girl in minor part who can't act sad) well this movie had so many things done right. Plot was thrilling, deathscenes were cool and fresh and the outcome was just brilliant. The motives for things to happen.. just amazing. And the twists.. everything is just so awesome.


Gore: Human Centipede 2

It's like first human centipede ^ 2. Acting is superb (main guy pulled hard role to play perfectly). There are minor flaws (like repetition of certaing things) but premise and payoffs are almost perfect including the surprises.

The scriptwriter had all 3 movies written before shooting the first one and he made it so everything connects to another. And it shows here. He also made every movie work as an standalone so if the first movie fails then it could end to just that one. It was great option to do it this way.. i wish more movies would do the same so things don't have to be so forced when making sequels.


Thriller: 23

I tried to avoid to watch this. I thought that Jim Carrey won't work well in thriller and that i couldn't take this movie seriously. And then i watched it.. and after the movie i thought that no other actor could have pulled this off beside Jim.. He was serious when he was needed to but there is a scene where he flips.. and When Carrey flips - it's a master at work.  Many actors would have worked the serious parts even better than Jim but that flipping.. that was the reason to have Jim in it.. and maybe the only reason this movie exist. The plot is good, twists work well.. there aren't that big of a surprise but this movie stands out from other thrillers well enough.. It's interesting from start to the end. I would call it Jim Carreys best work so far.

Escape plan: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1211956/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Has anyone watched Filth? My friend has recommended this movie to me.

Finding Nemo is a classic 

I enjoyed it too. Yes, it was funny, but it also had a great message lying in the background about the way of living your life, which was the most important aspect of the movie as far as I think.

I just watched the millers.
It was very funny, you should watch it too.

how about transcendence or edge of tomorrow? they worth to be seen?

Since Hollywood is very closely linked to politics (much closer than most think), I wouldn't discount the propaganda in the movies...

There's a reason typical hollywood movies or its awards are working the way they are. Any dissenting opinions will either never find a producer or certainly will never get an oscar. The establishment can't have that.

I doubt her movies contain more propaganda than you usually do.

Maleficent looks pretty dark. Surprised to see it was made by Disney/is a kids film. Jolie looks pretty evil on the poster.

Well.. if you are an American, then you might enjoy Angelina Jolie movies. But I they are a strict no-no to me, as most of them contains an unbearable amount of Hollywoopd propaganda. Movies such as Salt and In the Land of Blood and Honey are perfect examples.

The Raid 2

The new x-men (Days Of Future Past) is nice.

Taking my lil one to go see that new Angelina Jolie flick that comes out tonight.   I don't think that many people here would be interested in it, but I will report back if it is any good.   Seeing it in 3D...

I watched the trailer, and now it also has 33% rating on RottenTomatoes. I would stay awake like the plague. Looks like a bunch of dumb jokes without any connection put together into a movie.

I would recommend everyone to go see the new X-men flick, it is the best of the series in my opinion.

Is it out yet?
I just saw commercial it is coming to cinema.

Has any one seen A Million Ways to Die in the West yet?
