I saw a film called 30 Days of Night. It's about 30 days of night. Oh and vampires. I wouldn't recommend it.

after watching that movie have you started to hug your pillow and sucking your thumb while sleeping?

Ai no Corrida. (Japanese film)

I think it was made mid seventies. Maybe titilating at first, then when thought about it's possibly the closest you'll see on film as men being an object. A bit controversial for its time too.....

Saw a new movie on the internet named ' DEAD MAN ALIVE!' It is based on true story, where a formula1 forum member gets severely injured in a racing accident and suspects he is brain injured, and asks his doctor to let him die, so the doctor pulls out a hammer and blows on his head repeatedly and till he appears dead. His brother spreads the sad news by mailing many people including one of the f1 forum members. The member promptly makes a new thread honouring the valued dead member. One hour later back in US, while the DHL truck moves the dead body it accidently runs over a pothole which shakes the dead body and brings the dead body back to life. The doctors were shocked and when they took CT scan on his head, they found a kidney shaped organ instead of brains leaving the guy with some digestive problems instead. But all that matters was that guy is back to life and he starts making threads about Nascar that has nothing to do with motorsports. But his return to the forum only makes the other members happy, what a happy ending.

I am sleepy, Goodnight!

Labrador - How good is the counterfitters? I desperately wanna see it, need to know whether it's worth forking the money out. It's German and about nazi germany, so I assume it will be... I seem to have a thing about films like that! Thanks!

Yep, The Counterfeiters is pretty good. It's a true & amazing story. All the same, do visit IMDB.com to read some user reviews. It should help you in deciding. I always go by the IMDB ratings. By & large, if the rating's below 6.5 I don't see the movie.

I trust the "normal people" more than the critics. That's why I've no faith in rottentomatoes.com.

Do you know any good english movies that are similar to Blood Diamond and Hotel Rwanda?

Labrador - I abide by the same 6.5 rule and also the imdb criteria! But also by the channel4.com/film criteria :) I don't have many (if any) "normal" films in my collection, my friends told me today :(

Just watched Mystic River again, I forgot how sad I get after that film :(

If you have "non-normal" films like "Ichi The Killer" don't worry about what your friends say :lol:

Yeah, Mystic River was really depressing. The writer Dennis Lehane seems to be obsessed with sad endings. Do see "Gone Baby Gone". It's written by the same guy. Pretty good movie.

Ichi the Killer, The Happiness of the Katakuris, Save the Green Planet, Irreversible... lots of other horrible s**t! I think last night, my films were divided into two categories - depressing, and disguisting! I'll try and check gone baby gone out

Aha, nice that you're also a fan of Takashi Miike. It's always futile to give definite conclusions to his movies.

I've not seen Irreversible, but did see that disturbing clip of the movie. It was too uncomfortable besides the fact that "my" Monica Bellucci got pawed by some other guy.

Fellas, I hope you've seen "The Incredible Hulk"! I've already decided I'll like the movie when I watch it the coming weekend.

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!! SAW "THE INCREDIBLE HULK"!! *caps off* What can I say? I felt like a kid whose comic book fantasy came alive! Superb CGI, superb fight sequences, naked anger, brute strength & smash everything in sight! Hell, I wouldn't have minded even if I had been shown 100 minutes of Hulk v/s Abomination. Whoa! Even then, Edward Norton's last scene was probably the best in the movie. That scene alone proves he's one hell of an actor.

I can sit through films like Hostel, Saw, Hills Have Eyes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Deliverance and not be bothered in the slightest.

But that Incredible Hulk TERRIFIES the living daylights out of me. Its wrong how he just - morphs into that.... thing. :ph34r::ph34r:

Did anyone else watch Iron Man and feel it was an insult to your intelligence.

And doesn't anyone else feel that Transformers is the perfect comic book movie, with all the possible ingredients and a refreshing lack of pretentiousness.

Pretentious comic book movies are annoying, why don't people get that sperheroes have nothing to do with real life and stop trying to make lame, superficial political statements.

No, but I heard the same thing from someone else who did put up with it.

I'm not a big superhero movie guy. Never was, even as a kid. I like pointless comedies aimed at horny 12-year-olds. I don't mind a good historical film, either (not the boring factual ones, I mean ones based on historical events).
