I was thinking of The Departed too. I thought he was ok in it but he paled in comparison to Dicaprio who I’m not usually fond of and Nicholson who never misses. Indeed Joaquin is one of the best and most underrated actors in the world. He is absolutely brilliant and never fails to deliver. Ever! So far Signs is Shyamalan's crowning achievement In my opinion. It's a brilliant movie. The metaphors, the script, the plot and the acting. Brilliant and extremely underrated. |

Have you seen Unbreakable?. It's like the secret Shyamalan movie that most people don't know about, but is really good. It's also full of great metaphor |

![]() It truly is impossible to hate the goliath corporate demon that is Disney, when they continue to put out such adroitly imaginative & ambitious movies like WALL·E. Demonize them if you must. I know I do, from time to time, but a few somebodys over there really know how to entertain the pants off of people, & I was no exception There's something for everyone in this cartoon, about a lonely robot, excitement, suspense, romance, & inescapably witty humor, like the only remaining lifeform on Earth is, of course a cockroach, which WALL·E keeps as a pet, & feeds it the only remaining food source on Earth... Twinkies I won't spoil any more of the plot for you than that. Suffice to say that the main story revolves around the developing romance between WALL·E & EVE, which is touching & cleverly executed ![]() But even more astute is the subplot wherein, somehow, WALL·E goes from being a garden variety, roving trash compactor robot, & sole guardian of Earth, to being the key to saving Humanity, asserting that all you need is two eyes, two hands, & the will to be moved, in order to have a positive impact on the Human condition I keep expecting that someday Pixar will lose their edge, like most every other overly successful production team does, after becoming complacent, but that day ain't today. WALL·E is abundantly entertaining, & even heartwarming. Go see It! |

My wife didn't care for it, but I liked it. I also liked the Village. I hear people complain about the ending, but it fit and was unexpected which made it good enough for me. Lady of the Water was a little too much created mythos for me. |

The ending of the Village was alright, a bit more silly than most his other movies, but it didn't destroy what the rest of the film had set up, so it work, imo Lady In The Water was a real let down for me, & I'm none too sure about this new one "The Happening" ![]() I might wait for dvd

we go to the movies maybe once or twice a year. There is a theatre in town that has really cheap matinees so I take the kids there sometimes. watched a couple on the weekend 10,000 bc It was entertaining enough. Don't quite understand their geograpy though. And what is up with the giant birds? Was that accurate? And the whole nile thing was out of the blue. but entertaining enough. Untraceable another movie about the evils of technology not as gory as I expected. And not a bad little twist about the psycho guy choosing his victims.

Fiction fiction fiction The "God" is a white guy? the saber toothed tiger likes him now, because he saved it's life The main characters speak English, for sure I can understand the thought process there, but the slave traders have subtitles? WTF for? ![]() Oh, & I forgot... Voodoo at the end

I totally agree. The acting was really great in Unbreakable and I loved Samuel L. Jackson but nothing can touch Signs imo. |

Drillbit Taylor meh. Amusing enough. Not brilliant by anymeans. The main character was almost too pathetic. He lived in a hovel in the bush Wish Owen Wilson would get his groove back.Vantagepoint not bad. Kinda an interesting way to show the different perspectives. The movie kept starting over again with a different characters aspect of it. Not sure if that was good or bad but it was kinda different. The end contained a completely implausable coincidence. Almost like they ran out of time and had to end it right now. why is it every movie set in a european city involves a car chase where they drive a car down a filigt of stairs? do they drive on the right hand side of the road in europe? or the left like britain you might guess there is a long car chase in it
