Poor guy, at least he knows when to quit :\

Last movie what I watched, was Thor. It was one of the best movies in this summer. What could be better? If there would be more scifi effects!

I agree, it was genius.
I thought the plot twist where it turns out Anthony Hopkins character is a narcoleptic was brilliant ("Will he wake up? Will he continue napping? Is sleep-acting hard?").

Anyone watching any of them Indie films that got released in the last couple of weeks? (Bereavement, Griff the Invisible (original idea), Page Eight, Setup, The Guard etc) What are your thoughts on them?

The Speed of Thought reminds me of Jumper but the low rating on IMDb is turning me off it. Another interesting one is called Trust (2010) and has a decent rating on IMDb; might give that a watch tomorrow.

TRS reviewed Contagion the other day and spoke very highly of it, asserting that it was suspenseful and a true reboot of the "disease infection" genre of films that were popular in the 90's. TRS's, Dan Trachtenberg recently did the Portal short if you haven't seen it already. It's called "No Escape"

Don't expect anything to suspenseful ... or even remotely to do with Portal, apart from the gun :)

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Bonehead movie title of the year. Really Hollywood, what was wrong with the perfectly obvious "Rise of the Apes: Electric Boogaloo"?

Finally, the entry in the franchise that makes it obvious how apes took over...these guys are fast, furious and crazy agile.
The apes are beautifully realized, the (ape) action sequences fluidly intense.
Apropos of nothing...it occurs to me that apes would easily understand the Battle Room lessons in Enders Game.

Rise is of course a blockbuster summer movie, so nuance and subtlety are not highly valued (and wasted on the apes anyway) but the broad strokes aren't terribly overdone and the whole shebang is glued together by the amazing job of creating Caesar.

Given that Caesar is the ur-ape and center of the whole film, it was absolutely vital that his screen presence be not just believable, but sympa/empathetic.
And he is.
He outactresses the (titular) humans in the movie (except maybe John Lithgow who does "confused" very well) and is the pinnacle of modern CGI (that I've seen lately).

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is exactly what a big sloppy summer popcorn flick is supposed to be...entertaining.

I do have one small quibble...
After years of isolation, when Caesar finally escapes, wouldn't one of his priorities be getting laid?
You know, kind of a simian Rumspringa?

Everything Must Go

I had been wanting to see this for months. I saw the trailer for it when I saw 'Win:Win' (great movie also) and waited for the release date. The only theater in Austin that was showing it, didn't do so for long and I missed out. I was not happy. I finally found it in the NZB Index and watched it. Great fuckin' movie. I thought Will Ferrell nailed his role of a homeless, out of work, relapsed alcoholic. The young black kid in the movie is "Biggie's" son, so that was interesting. Anyhow, check it out, it's a solid flick.

Saw Knocked Up. One of the best movie I have watched after a very very long long long time from Hollywood. That movie is pure awesomeness. Its like awesomeness is flowing and leaking through the cracks and stuff. Must watch. Never felt this good recently after watching a movie ( except for Little miss sunshine ).

Little Miss Sunshine was horrible! Maybe it's because I'm not a pedo and expected it to be a comedy!

final destination 5 all i can is it was much better than final destination 4. but of course it wasn't titled that, it was called the final destination.
i thought that was going to be it but the movie was so bad they made final destination 5 to compensate it and thats an understatement.
