Great movie, highly recommend it to everyone.

McConaughey is at his absolute best here... 🙂

Scored free tickets, heading to the theater tomorrow.

Low expectations, for good reason. Hopefully, it's just mediocre..

It’s strange to me that there are so few comments on such an excellent film.

I haven't written my full review yet, but I can already say that this director's pervasive sense of imagination is the film's greatest asset.

It’s easily pushing its way toward being one of the absolute worst releases of 2013.

I voted for Fight Club. It was a close call since I think American History X is just as good.

There’s a new Robin Hood adaptation in the works, directed by Scott Waugh. This version centers on the gang—The Avengers—specifically highlighting Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, and Robin-esque sweetheart Maid Marian.

Production isn't slated to begin until next year.

Offside (I) (2006)

The struggle of women in a society that bars them from the stadium.

An interesting dramedy. 🙂

There were some decent moments, but let's be real—it doesn't touch the first one. You can tell they've run out of steam, even if it's still worth a watch. The original remains the gold standard for blockbusters in this genre over the last few years.

It all depends on my mood before the show starts.

If I'm feeling it, I'll be jumping around and losing it. But if it's a more serious set, like Cohen's, you'll find me standing off to the side in a flannel shirt.. 😁

The movie follows the three founders of The Pirate Bay, blending documentary footage with dramatic reenactments.

It covers their legal battles, the extortion they faced, and the compromises they were forced into. Hollywood and big corporate interests painted them as villains, even though their only goal was an open internet and free file sharing. They just wanted everyone to have access to everything, totally free of charge.

I actually know the director through mutual friends, and I’m personally acquainted with the founders of The Pirate Bay (Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, and Gottfrid Svartholm). I felt the need to start a thread here because a project like this deserves the recognition.

Impressive. I’m convinced the show wouldn't have hit these heights if he hadn't been part of it..

Finally, some good news we can actually get excited about.

The generation that grew up loving Justin is younger; they didn't really care for the Olsen twins. 🙂

Exactly. Honestly, though, I doubt I'll ever be able to forget them because of that role in Full House.

Looking back at the plots of these movies now, I realize just how much trash I was actually enjoying when I was a kid. 😁

If I had to pick just one, it would definitely be A Clockwork Orange (1971).

Let's use this thread to list movies that truly left a mark on you, both while watching and long after the credits rolled.

It isn't necessarily about whether the acting was great or if the plot was tight.
The criteria is simple: these films had to change how you see the world. They forced a shift in perspective so profound that you weren't quite the same person once they ended.

I actually fell asleep during this one. The first half grabs you, but after that, it’s just dead air. A few decent scenes involving addicts at the start, though..

A bit of a throwback..
