Just finished Wall-E. I'm speechless. Hands down best movie of '08 and one of my favourites of all time.

Very rarely can Pixar make a crappy movie (even though I thought Meet the Robinsons was meh). I am curious about this new one that's coming up. The teaser for it was played during the Superbowl.

Meet the Robinsons wasn't made from Pixar. It was from Disney Animation. I liked Robinsons, but the plot was too messy.

Yup, 'Wall-E' was something special. I loved the first 1/2 hour. That cockroach should get a best supporting actor award.
Watched 'RocknRolla' last night, a real return to form for Guy Ritchie. Heaps of fun.
Next up, 'How To Lose Friends And Alienate People'.

How much did you bribe Seymore for for Rorschach's journal?!

I watched my favorite WTF movie: Elias Merge's BEGOTTEN.

13 Going On 30. Because, on occasion, I enjoy girly things.

You will never be able to listen to "Singin' In The Rain" without hearing bones crack.

I'll be watching this soon.

Or mentally picturing a rape scene. It's only a matter of time before that song gets youtubed into the Watchmen rape scene...

Just got back from Revolutionary Road...10/10.
It's the sad ending to the romance they shared on the Titanic...seriously though, it's an amazing and intense film.

I saw Yojimbo a while back, and I enjoyed it (and The Warriors referance at the end) And I think I'll have to get more of his movies from the library

Pretty good. Pretty, pretty . . . pretty good.

Although it probably could have done without all of the CGI zooming.

- My friend did this. While we were watching it, we were dumbfounded by how many times they said "leads."

Nice!
Alan Arkin.
Hell yeah!

Completely agree. It's such a simple story, but resonates so incredibly well, and half the movie there's no dialogue. I thought it was miles ahead of any other movie that came out last year. It's a shame animated films will never be nominated for best picture again, Pixar rarely has competition in the animated best picture category.

I watched The Truman Show last night.

10/10

What a fantastic movie! Jim Carrey gives an amazing performance in this movie, definately one of his best. The plot is great, the themes and messages are great. This movie is an all-around 10/10.

The weird thing is, some people actually think their lives are reality-tv shows. This is from wikipedia:

"Joel Gold, director of psychiatrics at the Bellevue Hospital Center, revealed that by 2008, he had met five patients with schizophrenia (and heard of another twelve) who believed their lives were reality television shows. Gold named the syndrome after the film, and attributed the particular delusion to a world that had become publicity hungry. Gold stated some patients were rendered happy by their disease, while "others were tormented. One traveled to New York to check whether the World Trade Center had actually fallen – believing 9/11 to be an elaborate plot twist in his personal storyline. Another came to climb the Statue of Liberty, believing that he'd be reunited with his high-school girlfriend at the top, and finally be released from the 'show'."

Weird.

I remember Ed Harris saying how cool it was to give the line "Cue the Sun." The look on Christof's face when he says it... there was something so chilling about that moment.

Jim Carrey was astounding in "Man On The Moon" too. Talk about going all the way there. Damn.

i rewatched hot fuzz for the 4th time or so, it's such a funny movie, better than Shaun of the Dead imho.
