for me it was all about the nudity. but really, compared to a lot of high budget films, this kicked butt.

Forget the name of it, but the Marvin Gaye doc. on Netflix is very good, and fairly brief. That man could sing his ### off.

I thought Going The Distance was the best romcom Ive seen in awhile. Probably because I dont typically watch them to a degree,, but I thought it was funny yet had a point.

Watched Headhunters recently based on comments in this thread. Really enjoyed it. Entertaining from start to finish.
The First Grader was ok and a good one to watch with the wife.
My Way is a Japanese/Korean film during WWII. I really liked the first half but then it just kept dragging on and I was ready for it to end.
I enjoyed the documentary Pelotoro, about the MLB process of signing players in the Dominican Republic.

In my top 5 movies of 2012 for sure.I watched this last night because of the good reviews in here. You guys let me down. It wasn't funny. The side stories added nothing to the movie because I never felt like I was supposed to care about the 2 supporting characters.
There was no cool payoff with time travel scenes.
Was Kenneth just a liar about his reason to go back?
BOOOOOOO!

North Face (08)
This one is a gem.
German. Subtitles.
Griping. Amazing landscape shots. Touching. Slam-dunk.
From IMDB:
"Based on a true story, North Face is a suspenseful adventure film about a competition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps. Set in 1936, as Nazi propaganda urges the nation's Alpinists to conquer the unclimbed north face of the Swiss massif - the Eiger - two reluctant German climbers begin their daring ascent."
8/10. That may even be selling it short.

Run It Up
Footballguy
Watched Doomsday Book recently, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Its a korean film about three short stories that are all good in their own right.
The first is romantic comedy about a zombie outbreak in Seoul. The second is about dystopian future where the world is more or less ran by a corporation that monopolized the robotics industry, the main character plays an engineer called out to a Buddhist temple to run diagnostics on a robot exhibiting odd behavior. And the third is a little girl accidentally causing the apocalypse.
Pretty entertaining.

Any word on this Hemlock Grove show they're pimping? House of Cards was so good it makes me want to give any show they make a shot. Available April 19th. Only actor I recognized in the trailer was the chick who played Jean Gray in all the x-men movies.

It looks kinda dumb unfortunately. Like something the CW or Fox would try to make.

It'd be interesting to discuss these. Many of them are ambitious, but a certain percentage of them are also very flawed.

I find the streaming is great for TV shows and indy films, but terrible for blockbusters and major new releases.

I watched "Sleepwalk With Me" over the weekend so I'm at 51 now. Not bad, I gave it 3 stars. I would have given it four if I could have gotten past the fact that Claire from "Six Feet Under" was entirely too hot to be the main character's girlfriend.
Josie Maran

I'm gonna start a thread on this. I'll watch a couple of these flicks per week and see how they rate with a regular person that loves movies.
Apparently a cartoon is gonna be my first effort, huh?

Not gonna start now, because I'm drunk and angry...even The Usual Suspects would suffer under the yoke of an angry Homer.

The list is a mixed bag. All of them were highly regarded, but there are some weak ones on the list.

I am not sure ugly is the correct word but I understand your point of view. I think the CGI was incredibly well done (maybe the best I have seen), the story was creative and the dialogue was witty and engaging. I would say that as an entire production it was beautiful.I was impressed by the CGI in Rango, but it was ugly to look at
I wonder how hard they tried to get Clint to be The Man With No Name.

After hearing him on Joe Rogan's podcast I've been watching Bill Burr's standup. He's pretty funny.
