The book is absolutely incredible, whereas the movie is a bit underwhelming—though still worth a watch, mostly because of his shop assistants... and those perpetually confused expressions of his...

It’s a fantastic film—and man, Denzel Washington absolutely crushes it; seriously, props to him... Hawke is a little weaker here, though he doesn't fall too far behind... the ending might feel a bit cliché in some ways, but since all the other scenes are so tightly constructed, it doesn't ruin the overall impact at all...

WATCH IT!

I couldn't find an existing thread for this movie, so I figured I’d just start a new one...
I caught it yesterday, and man, what a killer thriller—the craftsmanship is honestly incredible. And this guy Collin Farrell (hope I spelled that right!) looks like he actually knows his way around a script...
Plus, having Kiefer Sutherland providing the voice for the sniper completely drives the whole thing; it keeps you on the edge of your seat at every single turn...
You absolutely have to watch it!!!

Hmm, it’s a pretty decent little flick—really clever concept, too, following the actual process of screenwriting (which works well as an adaptation of a book) for the very movie we're watching...

But, like everyone else has been saying, that ending is a total train wreck—honestly, you might want to just skip the last 20 minutes...

Forget the musicals—if you want something actually worth mentioning, go watch Hair... everything else can basically be ignored... especially those pretentious modern attempts like Moulin Rouge and Chicago...

That’s from somewhere around '98 or '99—I can't quite recall the exact year. The movie is absolutely hilarious, though you really need to have spent some time grinding away in a cubicle farm first, otherwise the jokes just won't land. You should be able to track it down on Netflix or something similar, since it’s become a total staple among tech geeks—that scene involving the money laundering is legendary...

Honestly, what were you thinking asking us something like that?
Those movies are so incredibly cliché and played out that even if I actually tried to recall a single plot point—let alone a romance—not even a brain like the one in "A Beautiful Mind" could help me out (and honestly, that movie is just painfully tedious; it’s one of those flicks where you can easily nod off for an hour and still somehow follow what's happening when you wake up)...

Oh, I'm plenty lucky—my life is a total whirlwind, honestly...

The story—well, the actual screenplay—isn't really a "lemonade" situation; more like a massive lemon dump of a movie, considering how it was adapted from the source material...
(And I mean the kind of old, shriveled, rotten lemons where even a ton of sugar wouldn't save them) ... yuck...

People have truly lost their minds; all you have to do is slap "based on a true story" at the start of a film and suddenly the rating jumps three feet and five stars—it’s a joke, really.

Man, what a wild movie—that chainsaw scene alone was absolutely insane... bravo, man...

Just plain old lemonade... and a watered-down version at that... honestly, it’s not even worth mentioning...

Hats off to Al Pacino, and of course, to her highness, Alaska...

The movie holds its own for a while, but then it hits that final half hour where everything goes downhill—it ends on such a cliché, frankly stupid note that it completely ruined the few good parts for me...

Oh—I almost forgot to mention—you absolutely HAVE to check out one of the most intense psychological thrillers from the last decade: *Das Experiment*. I’m not entirely sure if it ever hit the big screens here in the States... but my guess is probably not.

EXACTLY—*Fight Club* is an absolute masterpiece... I've watched it six times already and I'm still hooked... DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!

Well, we’ve definitely got our own version of Jackass: The Movie right here in our neck of the woods:
