Just didn’t tick any of the boxes for me. The first two that need a ticking – good acting and a good script. It had neither.

[Jackmypie]

Watched Jackass 3 last night, by far the funniest one. The sweatsuit cocktail was disgusting!!

[rexclark]

They also made Zuckerberg look like a bitter fool and at times a borderline social retard, which is totally inaccurate. Not that I give a shit.

[pink_triangle]

It certainly made zuckenberg look bad and saverin good. However I think saverin was involved in the book from which the film is based, so thats possibly not surprising.

[worm]

I have to agree, I though he came across a bitter twisted man and it seemed like he may well have some sort of mental illness.

[rexclark]

Really? This is interesting.

I thought he came across as a misanthropic wit, tasked with the labor of doing something that other people could only ever talk about.

I think the moral of the story was clear: that when you're brilliant it is easy to dehumanise real relationships. The cleverness of this moral is that the film is about the invention of virtual relationships.

[worm]

Perhaps not mental illness, but I did feel he showed some characteristics of an underlying problem such as autism. I'm no expert on these things but the way he acted and his personality just seemed to be rather odd.

I hear what you're saying, but I think that being brilliant and misanthropic are quite distinct from autism. Turning your back on friends because you have a higher purpose isn't the same as not being able to recognise the bonds of friendship.

[worm]

He didn’t have a higher purpose though did he? Or maybe it was just poorly communicated in the movie.

[metallimuse]

I thought the script, which was dialogue based, was very good. I like dialogue based films. I can't stand action.

[Katster]

That's the third time I've seen Oceans Eleven and I still have no idea how they robbed that casino?

[Katster]

Such is the brilliance of Aaron Sorkin.Are you a fan of the West Wing?I'd imagine it would be something you liked if you immerrsed yourself in it.

It is a long time since I have seen it but isn't it something to do with video cameras playing loops of film instead of what's really happening?

You've made me want to watch it again now!

Source Code is bloody phenominal. Absolutely loved it. Go see it!

watched The Cave of Forgotten Dreams this evening

i LOVE Werner Herzog, each of his documentaries have a wonderful ability to tell you so much about something, whilst the film really being about just how odd human beings are

the movie is in 3d, which my girlfriend didn't understand the point of since it's just cave paintings, but you really do get a feel as though you are IN the cave, the depth and surfaces of the images is beautiful

Finally got round to watching Four Lions last night, what a great film, funniest I've seen in a long time. The 'to hide her beard' bit had me giggling for ages.

Saw Africa united this weekend, didnt have great expectations as most football related films are bad. However I found this quite a fun family film.

[rexclark]

Decided to watch The Krays on Saturday night, It's not a bad film but I forgot how awful some of the acting was. Still quite enjoyable though.

Don't know if you guys are familiar with Lars Von Triers work, but his new film finally has a trailer!!
