Harry Brown - Starring Michael Caine. Liked it very much. There was nothing in it over the top like the movies dummywood is making now. (Wanted-what was that crap?)

Cain did another marvelous performance.

The Road - good, but slow, and awfully depressing.

Re: What movies have you seen recently? Part 1

Watched 3 rather depressing flicks yesterday.
Dead Man's Shoes. British Movie. Guy comes back from army to terrorize a gang that messed with his brother while he was gone. Decent. 3.5 out of 5

Gang Tapes. Pretty much says it all. Interesting. Depressing. A guess it's a good depiction of the inside look at gangs. I guess anyway. 3 out of 5.

Dirty. Another movie about bad cops. I give it an OK. Cuba Gooding was good in it. 2.5 out of 5

Case 39. Could have been handled better. Some of you suspense/horror guys will like it. Hopefully there won't be a Case 40.

Just finished Inception, I hate to say it but i saw the ending coming about 30 mins into the movie. I was hoping to be wrong as hell cause i hate endings like that.

On the movie itself, awesome freaking movie. The concept and execution were freaking flawless. The acting was superb and it did help to have an awesome cast of actors.

One thing i picked up on which put a smile on my face was Leo's wife in the movie. She played Edith Piaf in the movie "La Vie en Rose." The song they used to kick themselves was a song by Edith Piaf who was acclaimed to be the "Voice of France." Pretty cool of Nolan to put her in the movie along with that song.

Now here are some spoilers and questions

Spoiler

WTF, his safety device never stopped spinning at the end of the movie. Are we to believe he is still in a dream?

Now the question comes into play, when did this dream start? Was it from the very beginning? Was the whole experience a dream. but now, how far in a dream can you go? They were in consecutive dreams, more than 3 or so....for him to be in one the entire time means he was in a dream of a dream of a dream....so on and so forth.......WTF

Rating 9.0

Your spoiler questions can't be answered in a single post. It requires days of back-and-forth interpretation and detailed conversation about each part of the movie. Believe me that when you say you hated how the ending went, it was actually the best way for this movie to end for the very reason of debate/discussion.

And you say that you saw the ending coming from a mile away, which is cool... but I think there was a twist earlier in the movie (maybe ten minutes before the end) that was IMO the biggest one, my favorite one, and one that I don't see anyone expecting.

Definitely, that twist was definitely not expected.

Spoiler

Let me not say i saw the ending coming a mile away, but i feared that the ending might have the entire movie being a dream or him stuck in a dream which the audience believed was the real world the entire time.

Doing some reading, it seems most people think he made it to the real world at the end so it ended happily

Toy Story 3.

It was excellent, I cried, shut up.

Spoiler

I was good, I had it under control, and then Andy let that "Thanks guys" go at the end and I was done. I wasn't really crying, but a tear did roll down my cheek. I don't care if that makes me less of a dude.

Re: What movies have you seen recently? Part 1

It makes you more of one, actually.

I picked it up yesterday and watched it twice. This is one stellar looking Blu-ray, and such a worthy edition to the Toy Story collection.

I just watched Inception, Scott Pilgrim vs the world and kick ***

Re: What movies have you seen recently? Part 1

Apocalypse Now - quite possibly my favorite war movie ever. It helps that I loved reading the source material in high school, plus the cast was amazing.

Scott Pilgrim. Definitely enjoyed it. Cera is perfect in his role. Also liked him in Superbad and Nick and Nora's Infinite playlist.

Totally agree. Well done, but not a movie I want to watch again.

Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps

Not as good as the original but still one heck of a movie.
