Come back zinc !
Just saw most of Revolutionary Road. That movie was great ! I loved it. Well acted, well directed. The "crazy guy" was awesome. F'd up as all hell but whatever. I was entertained.

And here I thought Ridley Scott's career was dead...
Not only was this a great movie, but Nicolas Cage was great in it. That's right. You heard. I think this may be the best performance I've ever seen out of him.
Agree entirely. Across the board the performances were great...and this twist was awesome too. Overall a very underrated little gem and seeing Cage actually perform instead of doing his usual (1)act weird with facial tics and collect paycheck(Bad Lieutenant) or (2) let me pick out a heroic hairpiece and be a vacant stare action hero, collect paycheck(National Treasure) just makes me want to kick him in the bawls even more.

I liked Night Watch quite a bit, but this movie was really, really disappointing. The books, on the other hand, are all fantastic.

I struggled to get thru Night Watch, as a matter of fact i don't think i ever finished it. And Day Watch is disappointing??? Well, that saves me some time...Timur Bekma-whatever is an artist though...and i expect him to eventually make some kickass flicks...Wanted wasn't bad, even though they totally ****canned the superhero aspect of the source material.

I agree. The first time I saw Night Watch, i thought it was ok. A little derivative, but excellent visually. Then I read the books and sort of fell in love with the whole universe and now I like the movie a lot more.
Day Watch was just messy. They tried to do too much, I thought.

I love this movie. That's not sweat you see on Lee Marvin, it the alcohol oozing from his pores. The guy was drunk the entire shoot and Burt Landcaster almost beat the crap out of him for being that way.

Watched it last night and I have to agree with this ^ exactly. It seemed to me he had lots of ideas and threw them all into the movie. It was pretty confusing by the end.

I just saw Matthew Barney's "Cremasters 3" at the Nuart last week; what a bizarre spectacle! The set design, camera work and costumes are brilliant, but it's certainly not a movie you go to just pleasantly enjoy. It could have been more effective if it had a bit less repetition IMO, and "The Order" segment of should have been it's own, unrelated short.
But if you don't need to "understand" what you're watching to enjoy a piece of visual beauty, definitely check it out.

We saw the trailer for this with Trash Humpers(sorry we missed you) and i couldn't help but think it looked like horribly self indulgent art-for-art's sake. Sexual ambiguity, check...Lady GaGa-ish absurd costumes, check...overall puzzling sense of what the hell am I watching, check and double check...AND THAT WAS JUST THE TRAILER...the fact that you made the trek and watched the whole thing...you are a better man than I sir...

Hmm. Caught this about 1/2 way thru...and it hit the inevitable 'reveal' which seemed labored...I mean when a flick goes black and white, not regular b+w but surveillance cam b+w, where peoples pupils are black, you are trying too hard. And the surveillance cam-vision went on for a good 5 minutes which really seemed longer in a 70-ish minute flick. Anyway, I re-watched it from the beginning, and something that kinda had me shaking my head...made more sense. Is this a good flick...no. Too clever for it's own good. But good acting and beautiful cinematography...along with some guilty pleasure 'i wish this had been better' feelings, make this a decent watch as long as ya didn't pay for it.
