Thanks for the mini-thesis, but I think you're talking shit.

These cultural differences you're talking about have been rendered void over the past 20 years;
In the western world, the abundant availabilty of media has homogonized and streamlined the entire western audience.

There is no typically British or American comedy, anymore.

I'm not talking shit, this is my opinion so technically you can either agree or disagree. I think what you're talking about IS taking place to some extend, but I find that to be more true in countries that are generally playing "catch up" with the rest of the westernized world, like india. I have watched quite a number of indian films lately and they are definitely aspiring to westernized culture..american culture to be precise.

Because you probably saw it years ago and it was awesome for its time.

The Way Back - 3/10

The book made a profound impression on me as a kid, heard the movie indeed sucked, shame :( Shall give it a miss so i won't ruin the fond memories.

The Troll Hunter - 8/10
A fucking strange and highly amusing Norwegian mockumentary about a couple of film students who want to interview a poacher... only he turns out to be a troll hunter who happily agrees to let them follow him around and film him capture and kill trolls. I was very entertained :)

How to train your dragon - 8/10
Really funny stuff, to be honest i found it better than Mastermind. Must see if you like the whole animated kid movie genre :D

Season Of The Witch = Shit/Absolute shit. - I mean....wow...is that movie shit or what? Even the CG, something that - these days - is usually at such a high standard in every movie it's in (to the point where people don't even notice CG anymore) was shit...easily the worst CG I've seen since the 80s. But the rest of the movie was so bad the horrendous CG was just the icing on the cake.

The Devil Wears Prada = 3/10 - How the fuck I got talked into watching this crap I'll never know.

Due Date = 6.5/10 - Meh. Robert Downey Jr. basically phoned this one in but Zach Galifianakisasisisisis was hilarious.

Charlie Wilson's War = 6/10 - Interesting but not really.

Severence - 4/10 - you know you've got issues when Danny Dyer is the highlight of your film.

The Tourist - 2/10

The only redeeming quality of this movie was that it eventually ended.

The Social Network - 5/10

Zuckerberg is a total asshole, who knew.

Wall Street 2 - Money Never Sleeps - 6/10

Transformers kid was surprisingly less annoying than usual.

The Men Who Stare At Goats - 7/10

I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't watch it again. Stephen Lang was great.

Ghost Writer - 7/10

Good movie, but they could've driven home the political message a little more effectively.

Scott Pilgrim VS The World - 6/10

Surprisingly funny, although Michael Cera playing himself in every movie gets annoying.

Heat - 8/10

One of the better Pacino and De Niro films out there and somehow I hadn't seen it until now. On the contrary, I still can't bring myself to watching Righteous Kill.

Due Date - 2/10

Awful and unfunny. Avoid at all costs.

Contact - 9/10

Last time I saw this was about 10 years ago and didn't remember the ending. I'm a big fan of Foster's character because of how badly she upsets the bible-thumping morons. If you're a fan of sci-fi and rational thought, you have to watch it.

Journey To The Edge Of The Universe - 10/10

Amazingly done documentary and the CGI was fantastic. Again, a must-see.

I just started using Netflix on my Xbox360 and watched a few films on it. Canada doesn't have the best selection, but I like how it recommends movies you may not have heard of.

Unleashed - 7/10

Solid Jet Li film with a bit less action and a more engaging plot.

Jet Li's Fearless - 8/10

Tells the story of one of China's greatest martial artists, Huo Yuanjia, who eventually founded the Jin Wu Sports Federation.

Superbad - 2/10

I knew it would be rubbish, but I wanted to see into the minds of the morons who speak so highly of it. Do yourself a favour and avoid it.

White Men Can't Jump - 6/10

Never saw it until now, but I like Woody Harrelson. Wesley Snipes was good too.

Thanks to the magic of Hulu, I discovered Peep Show about 3 months ago. Fucking hilarious! I just started watching That Mitchell & Webb Look, and it has its moments (the S.S. finding out they're "the baddies" had me laughing my ass off). Will be sure to check out the other things mentioned in the last couple pages. :up:

Good list, but you're wrong about these two; they were at least chuckle worthy.
Maybe time to shave, because dingleberries cramped your sense o' humor? HAHA

Megamind - 7/10 - Good flick, quite enjoyable with some very funny parts

The big test will be when I watch Dispicable Me sometime soon :D

13 tzameti 8/10. Harrowing movie, film noir, with some really well done but uncomfortable moments. European subtitled.

In the middle of watching BBC's Human Planet series. I was kinda hesitant to get into it, because most of these nature shows tempt to blend together and overlapping material makes them tedious once you get a few under your belly. But this has surprised me in every single episode with goodies I've never seen or known about. Excellent Documentary :up:

9/10 ...misses a point for making me have to convert their metric system dialect to my shamefully accustomed yank system.

The Hurt Locker 6/10
I found it kind of disappointing. I went into it expecting a bit of an emotional drama with well written characters that really goes deep into some of the ethical questions surrounding Iraq and warfare in general which would leave me something to think about, but it turns out it's basically just an action flick that tickles the Modern Warfare loving lobes more than anything else.

Tron Legacy - Call me a geek, but I bloody loved this... The sound track was perfect as well. Great film.

Currently watching Dexter as I kept getting told about it so dropped the pennies for the first season. 2 episodes in and I instantly bought season 2. Fantastic show, just polishing off season 1 tonight. :)

Always a bit jealous of people getting late to the party, now enjoying quality shit I had years ago :)
Makes me wonder if this is rewatchable; but no, Dexter is a one time deal.

Rango - 7 / 10 Just an overall silly western style animated kids movie. I thought it was pretty well done.
