It was good 'n fucked up.

The movie has too many of those "boo" moments but overall it's decent.

just saw this - entertaining, but most of the other coen bro films have a strong and disturbing character - think of the motorcycle dude in raising arizona, the psychopath in no country for old men, john goodman in barton fink, etc. I missed that in this film, though it did have some interesting pathologies to tickle us with.

That one scene in the closet was worth the movie though - I couldn't help laughing, but I soon controlled myself since it was a crowded theatre and I didn't wanna offend too many ppl

Grosse Pointe Blank

I'm not even going to rate it. It's the single most poignant, moving, personal and carefully constructed movie I've ever seen and am proud to own a copy of.

Faggots.

tropic of thunder: some very funny moments

worth seeing

You don't know.

I laughed too - the missus elbowed me in the ribs.

You're right about the lack of a disturbing character (although I didn't really miss it). But Frances Mcdormand's character was pretty disturbing in her own way when you think about it.

Zombie Strippers 7/10

Jesus
Guest appearance by Peenyuh btw

Great flick...unfortunately the only version available over here is a non-anamorphic letterfagbox print and it looks like boiled ass on a WS television. Raising Arizona is in the same boat.

Burn After Reading: 8/10

Like a Coen brothers “Best Of,” Burn After Reading unites Coen alumni George Clooney, Frances McDormand, J.K. Simmons, and Richard Jenkins with some new, if familiar, faces (Tilda Swinton and Brad Pitt), and then stirs them into a trademark genre-bender with all the elements of a film noir, a whodunit, a dating movie, and an elaborately convoluted spy mystery.

Malkovitch plays Osbourne Cox, a dour CIA analyst who quits rather than accept a demotion over his apparent drinking problem. His opposite, Harry Pfarrer (Clooney), is a Treasury agent and happy-go-lucky womanizer who happens to be sleeping with Cox’s frosty wife, Katie (Swinton, fresh off an Oscar win in Clooney’s Michael Clayton).
Into the mix come Hardbodies Gym employees Linda Litzke (McDormand), another squeeze of Clooney’s, and Chad Feldheimer (Pitt), who stumble upon Cox’s unfinished memoir and attempt to blackmail him with it on the assumption that its contents are highly classified.

The only character to get the same bird’s eye view we are treated to is an unnamed, highly skeptical CIA director (Simmons), who reappears periodically to receive a report on the Byzantine goings-on and remind us just how ridiculous they are. The rest of them are rats caught in the maze, so to speak, variously entrapped by their own greedy, adulterous, or simply foolish proclivities.

Simply put, this is a stellar cast without a weak link in the bunch. (The only complaint one could level against the members is that they are all playing to type, with Swinton as an ice queen, Clooney as a charismatic ladies’ man, Pitt as a reckless goofball, and Simmons as the no-nonsense authority figure.)

Their material, a stark about-face from the Coens’ earnest, blood-soaked Oscar magnet No Country For Old Men, is solid, reminiscent of Intolerable Cruelty with healthy doses of Fargo and The Big Lebowski thrown in. That is, while Burn After Reading is hardly a guilty pleasure, it is more of a cinematic confection than a hard-hitting, thought-provoking story in the style of No Country.

Even weighed down by a sluggish second act, Burn After Reading clocks in at a mere 96 minutes, allowing itself no time to become boring. As with most Coen brothers films, the enjoyment factor is largely dependent upon one’s knowledge of cinematic convention, which the Coens made a name for themselves by toying with. Cineastes will have a ball, but casual filmgoers may find themselves nonplussed, wondering their neighbours are laughing at (an ironic musical cue, perhaps, or a cleverly placed Vladimir Putin portrait).

For the pleasure of watching its cast alone, Burn After Reading is well worth a trip to the theatre. But the deft, often amusing, attention to detail and the exuberantly complicated plot (picture the intersecting storylines of Paul Haggis’s Crash on crack) make this a worthy entry in the Coen canon. It’s no Fargo, but Burn After Reading stands proudly on its own merits.

Bitten (with Jason Mewes) - 2/10

This was a steaming pile, and the only reason I even watched it all was the vain hope Mewes would make with the funny. It never ended up happening

Man on Wire - go watch it.

Zohan - 6/10

Mindless fun

I saw a trailer for this. It looks really good.

3/10-Lakeview Terrace.

It was pretty horrible and I regret spending the money on it.

Wall-E - 7/10

Cute, but not as good as Monsters Inc. Extra points for the social commentary, minus points for the somewhat overdone sentimentality. All in all, too little Pixar, too much Disney.

american psycho 9/10
it gets an 8 just because he dropped the chainsaw on that hooker

Now, you know I think its true that when you watch a movie expecting it to be utter tripe, you come out pleased. That much has to be true with this. I've been an xphile for years now, own them all on video, own them all on DVD. Loved the series, hated the later parts of season 9 but I think we all did. Anyway...

This movie was damn good. Very pleased with it. Not perfect mind you, there were a few things I didn't like, but I really enjoyed it. Plus it was set against the snow backdrop and I fucking LOVE snow backdrops in anything. Slap a snow level in a game, and its my fave game of the moment. The way it all played out was great, bit sad the Lone Gunmen never turned up, I was hoping that they were some how still alive

Anyway, damn good movie if you take it as an extended episode.

I hope the talks about him doing more direct to DVD style mini films is true, that would rock.

The Dark Knight - 5/10. I would have given it a higher score but there weren't nearly enough explosions.

Heath Ledger did do a great job. Imo, you really can't compare Heath Ledger's Joker with Jack Nicholoson's. They stuck terrible makeup on Nicholson, cartoony costuming ala the original Batman tv series and explained the way he looked by dropping him in a vat of chemicals. What was required of him for that movie was far different too. If he had been given Ledger's makeup/costume/script, he would have given a better performance.

If you're gonna give it a 5/10 rating, please explain why you thought it was only so-so instead of just saying positive things

and if youre going to slam how they explained the Joker in the first movie..well..

The first origin account, Detective Comics #168 (February 1951), revealed that the Joker had once been a criminal known as the Red Hood. In the story, he was a scientist looking to steal from the company that employs him and adopts the persona of Red Hood. After committing the theft, which Batman thwarts, Red Hood falls into a vat of chemical waste. He emerges with bleached white skin, red lips, green hair, and a permanent grin

later, the Joker was fleshed out more in The Killing Joke (excellent comic) as such

The most widely cited backstory, which the official DC Comics publication, Who's Who in the DC Universe, credits as the most widely believed account, can be seen in The Killing Joke. It depicts him as originally being an engineer at a chemical plant who quits his job to become a stand-up comedian, only to fail miserably. Desperate to support his pregnant wife, Jeannie, the man agrees to help two criminals break into the plant where he was formerly employed. In this version of the story, the Red Hood persona is given to the inside man of every job (thus it is never the same man twice); this makes the man appear to be the ringleader, allowing the two criminals to escape. During the planning, police contact him and inform him that his wife and unborn child have died in a household accident.[12][13]


Stricken with grief, he attempts to back out of the plan, but the criminals strong-arm him into keeping his promise. As soon as they enter the plant, however, they are immediately caught by security and a shoot-out ensues, in which the two criminals are killed. As the engineer tries to escape, he is confronted by Batman, who is investigating the disturbance. Terrified, the engineer leaps over a rail and plummets into a vat of chemicals. When he surfaces in the nearby reservoir, he removes the hood and sees his reflection: bleached chalk-white skin, ruby-red lips, and bright green hair. These events, coupled with his other misfortunes that day, drive the engineer completely insane, resulting in the birth of the Joker.[12][13]

BAM

am i the only one to think that jack nicholson's joker is really overrated?

Personally i'd use something like 'deeply tragic for a man of his capabilities' or 'inexplicably not career-ending' to describe that hideous perfomance.

I've not seen this film yet because I’ve been put off by the sickly media outpour regarding Ledger.
It's just like when someone died back at school and people come out of the woodwork, kissing ass. People that seem to get off on grief.
