A friend and me we were throwing chocolate marshmellows around in the cinema as kids, it was funny as hell but I dont remember the movie.

But I think I can distinguish between a movie and the circumstances under which I see it.
Mostly of course, this is never completely possible to shut out you mood at the time you watch etc.

i have to recommend Winnebago Man... was some of the funniest shit i've seen for a very long time, watched it on the weekend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gTKL3opdlw remember this clip, from the days of star wars kid? they went and hunted this old guy down to find out what his story was and what makes him tick. the movie delivers.

if its possible to be "good" at foul language, then this guy is the world champion

"Sunshine" had nice ambiance, but failed badly from a credibility perspective IMO. In particular, the "failure" that occurred during the journey was highly improbable (based on the sophistication of on-board computer systems and how it prevented other minor incidents).

I can recommend:
Max Manus
Dead Snow
Sublime (some booze might enhance this one)

"The Road" was a good movie, but it has a bit of a cliff-hanger at the end. This movie is one of those post apocalyptic movies about a father and son trying to survive in a world filled with starvation, gangs, and under terribly harsh conditions based on the best-selling Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Road". They have a difficult time finding good people and are surrounded in death so it's a very dramatic movie. I highly recommend this movie to people who feel like watching something that addresses dealing with difficult circumstances and is not light-hearted.

The book is better. I hate movies who freeze the images you had in mind from a book, its like your own fantasy getting overwritten by that of some artist/PR-Monkey. On the other hand, good movies are rare.

whether you like it or not may depend heavily on how you relate to it, i guess.

It was a good movie. I didn't know that there was a book for it before watching it. I will have to read the book.

I thought the road was a terrible book, :? especially the gimmicky writing style of using dashes to denote diaglog and not explaining who is talking or what inflex and tone their speech takes eg.
- are you ok?
- yes. do you want some more beans?
- yes
- are you the man or the boy?
- I dont know, it really isnt being made very clear, is it?
- I am saying this doubtfully and frowning, but you wouldnt know.
- gg, shit book

havnt seen the film
