OC,,Check out Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train.
I recomend it to any gore fan.Awsome story too.
It made me think .

We've discussed this one RG. Oh men and theyre memories.... Remember, I told you about how Barker appeared at a University lecture imploring the students to send letters and emails to the studios heads to back the golly off of editing his work so he could put a proper film out? That's an awesome clip too.

I support him on that, Ive seen so many movies that were a cheap imitation of the book because of the studios " poetic license" BS.

Stephen King's book "Dream Catcher" and its movie were the closest ive ever seen a book and a movie be to eacher.

And lay off the memory,,I ve taken a few hits to the head over the years,,I have a valid excuse lmao

I haven't seeen him in anything..er I don't think. I have The Go-Getter on my 'to watch' list.. that's him in that right?

Hhhmmm.....I will be watching this tomorrow. Check out his films on IMDB. Go for Thumbsucker first. I think I know you well enough to call that as enjoyable for you.  ;D

A very typical movie for him but I enjoyed it. Not a love story, not a coming of age story, just a sentimental journey. I liked it and the premise behind it. I would probably go 6/10. And if you're a fan of Lou's then maybe......8/10 for his performance alone.

i loved watchmen. the way the film was shot, and the story, i've never read any of the comics but i didn't feel like i was missing out on anything. i might have, but that's a different story, isn't it.
the best was dr manhattans' rear end imho

Gosford Park (2001)
I watched it just for the cast, honestly, and I'm a fan of Kelly MacDonald. Good film, much intrigue. I had to concentrate quite a lot just to catch what the characters were saying :D Seriously, all the cast was outstanding, except for maybe that American producer, SO ANNOYING (no offence to Americans out there, he was just irritating).

Benicio Del Toro annoys me, he seems to think everyone likes fairy tales.
And as for most American directors, I have something to say to them ,," GET A REAL JOB AND LEAVE MOVIES TO PEOPLE THAT KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING!"
I mean, cant they do something original?

Tell No One (2006)
A French 'action' thriller. Quotation marks because there wasn't much action, well compared to American action thrillers at least, but it did do the thrilling quite well. Lots of twists and turns.
Francois Cluzet looks exactly like Dustin Hoffman. Omg, I was so distracted by the fact that he is Dustin Hoffman's doppelganger. Throughout the whole film I just kept thinking "Wtf is Dustin Hoffman doing in a French film?" "OMG that is not Dustin Hoffman." "ZOMG WTFFFFFFFF" "Stop thinking about the likeness and enjoy the film." Also, Kristin Scott Thomas does look quite a bit younger blonde, and a little like Cameron Diaz too.

Just finished "UP". Man was this a brilliant film. More adult focused but I think kids would get a great laugh out of it, they might miss a bit of symbolism however. I cant believe that I cried so much over an animated film but I loved this. Will definately see it in the theaters.

watched the Ninth Gate by roman polansky and with johnny depp today. it's a very interesting film, i thought the ending was a bit weak, so i've read some of the comments on imdb and feel a little better about.
