I need to dig out the DVD from somewhere around here.<br /><br />If you can make it through the Southland Tales trailer, or even the first 10 minutes of the film... and like what you see, then you'll probably enjoy it. It's definitely a love / hate, with a lot of hate, but one of my favorite films of all time. It feels like Richard Kelly's much weirder Pulp Fiction style film. Tons of characters in sprawling stories, and very, very long.Jason Tagmirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06664578674874173960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-4513295640923961862012-01-12T19:15:27.400-08:002012-01-12T19:15:27.400-08:00I have it and I've put it in the dvd player to...I have it and I've put it in the dvd player to check out but I've always been distracted by something. It's like my cursed film haha. I do want to watch it though despite the horrible reviews<br /><br />Oh have you seen Gattaca? I think that's a better film than In Time (same director)It has the same low key scifi feel to it. It's a lot like Goddard's Alphaville. I also remembered after posting this In times hilarious groan worth puns/lines that they constantly drop throughout the movie. I purged that from my memory when I was compiling my favourites list hahamrmerkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979216894917693956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-44195112082753394472012-01-12T18:59:52.699-08:002012-01-12T18:59:52.699-08:00I've never seen anything on this list, but I R...I've never seen anything on this list, but I REALLY want to see In Time and a few others.

LOVE. The Coens just keep topping themselves. And I was surprised by how much I liked Rise of the Planet of the Apes, as I've never seen the other films and never had any desire to. I expected schlocky crap but it was quite a gripping thriller. <br /><br />I've had Super downloaded for a while, must get around to watching that.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349956327915851336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-15513225683576872892012-01-12T18:10:45.204-08:002012-01-12T18:10:45.204-08:00I haven't seen Arriety yet.

I think this is something of a curse that the directors may find themselves trying to make a Ghibli styled film and ending up with only a copy of a Ghibli film. I am looking forward to the film though.mrmerkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979216894917693956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-56615401295783004892012-01-12T16:44:19.423-08:002012-01-12T16:44:19.423-08:00Kung Fu Panda was number 16 or 17 on my worst list...Kung Fu Panda was number 16 or 17 on my worst list. Just knocked off. After loving the first movie, I couldn't have been more bored with this one.<br /><br />I also though Rango was beautiful, but it was great at the start and the very end, and had a real lull in the middle (for me). It would be in the top five most beautiful films of the year for sure.<br /><br />And I couldn't make it through Cars 2. <br /><br />I saw Arriety last night and I loved it, but Jess and Campbell both didn't - What did you think. (I don't think it's the best Ghibil film, but I do think it's the best one in ten years - since Spirited Away came out).Edward J Grug IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683731839349876559noreply@blogger.com
