Thumbs up to Eternal Sunshine. - one of the few movies (e.g. Truman Show) where I actually enjoyed watching Jim Carrey.
A colleague, [delete]fooled[/delete] intrigued by the write up on Wikipedia, bought "Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus". For the 15 seconds of special effects, he gives it a 1 out of 10.

Caught that one on Sky a few months ago. It was so bad that I actually thought that it was some sort of comedy spoof of an under-water sci-fi flick. Only after quite a while i realised that it was actually a real movie.
I've been corrected. He said he had a pretty good idea of what he was letting himself in for. :smile:A colleague, fooled by the write up on Wikipedia, bought "Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus". For the 15 seconds of special effects, he gives it a 1 out of 10.
That movie made me wish MST3K was still being produced.

Hehe, reminds me of when I used to buy every single horror movie ever released. There are some truly bad ones, "Blood Hook" is a notable example.
I've since stopped collecting movies so I'm sure I've missed out on other more recent "gems." Regards,

Yes these are sort of my thoughts, I dont watch many comedies at all cause I dont really find them that funny
though these have all been worthwhile to watch
wedding crashers 7/10
eternal sunshine 8/10
tropic thunder 7/10 // a bit of a letdown, should of been much better
Coen bro's comedies are usually good though or other recent 2000-> lesser known comedies worth watching are (next time youre in a video shop check them out)
American Splendor http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305206/
The Price of Milk http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249893/
Harry un ami qui vous veut du bien http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0216800/
Series 7: The Contenders http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251031/
slither http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439815/
soulkeeper http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212867/
The Rage in Placid Lake http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305999/
tongan ninja http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0352925/
any other recent suggestions from ppl? (only lesser known films as I've more than likely seen the well known ones)
heres a film from 1998, very funny (though does taper off at bit from halfway onwards)
Le dîner de cons http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119038/
but I recommend everyone to watch
The Wolfman 6/10 - Some good sets, but del Toro and his obvious wig just didn't cut it for me. Too much use of insto-scare tactics and not enough suspense.
Dang didnt know that movie was out already.
Halloween 2 (2009)
8/10
I don't care what anyone says. I love this movie. Sometimes you have to completely disavow any sense of reality. Comparatively speaking, modern slashers are something to be ridiculed, especially remakes, but I actually really enjoy Rob Zombie's Halloween series. His other movies are pretty trashy, though. And for some reason, whenever I engage in conversations about the Halloween series, everyone seems to hate the new Michael Myers, whereas I think he's great. I like him being a behemoth, instead of some scrawny guy in a mask.

Watched Babel last night on HD DVD, while too scared to turn on my PS3 I remembered it being fantastic at the cinema, but hadn't seen in it since (picked up the HD DVD during the fire sale of discs when the format died). Not sure what's happened to me as a person in the interim years, but the film was really deep for me this time, and I found I understood the underlying message about really listening to people and language a lot more.
The entire film is an example of what can happen if you're careless and don't take the time to really understand other people and their motivations. When it was all woven together at the end I was deeply satisfied. Terrific film, only spoiled by the pace of things at times (too slow for me, some stuff was over indulgent).
Really well shot, fantastic audio production (there are big chunks of the film with no dialogue) and very well acted. I know I've watched a movie that clicked with me when I spend 2 hours on IMDb afterwards researching the acting and production talent for a film so I can find new movies by the same people to watch.
Oh, and I'm not sure whether it was the original film, the transfer, my TV or my 360, but there's some really poor juddering while the camera pans in places.
9.5/10 though, brilliant.

The Hurt Locker-
9.5/10
I'm pleased this movie cleaned house at the Academy Awards ceremony. Jeremy Renner is a fucking fantastic actor who deserves lots of acclaim. The art of diffusing bombs has never been more tense, and I feel the movie really brought home the reality of the Specialist's doing this job. Excellent, excellent movie.

Wife talked me into watching the Time Traveller's Wife over the weekend. I smacked her once the credits started rolling.
