I read the book, wasnt bad.
And I also saw the movie, but the only thing bad about it is frodo+ some subtle story changes. (to compress it into a movie)
Maybe I should read another book by this safran guy.

The sequel was more bitter-sweet than the first one.

"Max Manus"

Shows how Norwegians became good at rts.

"Practical Magic" and "The Witches of Eastwick"

These are two funny romantic-comedies.

I was going to post about "Primer" the other day, but my account was borke. I don't know if any one recommend it earlier, but its a simple low budget film that really makes you think when its over. One of those you might have to watch a second time to get all the details you missed the first time.

Probably best movie about time travel. Also I didn't get it at all the first time I watched it but there are some really nice explanations on the internet.

Thumbs up for this recommendation.

all they do is talk, you say thats the BEST timetravel movie? you obviously havent watched enough movies then...

(my point is: you could as well just read a book if you like to watch people to sit at table and talking and call that the best movie ever)

SRSLY, It's hard to beat "12 Monkeys".

Speaking of 12 Monkeys, Terry Gillam movies are generally good, so more recent ones not so much, and some in betweens like Time Bandits, might not be for everyone.

A great film about time travel.

also this is sort of time travel but its actually cooler than that,I still cant believe it got such a low score:

I guess people who didn't get the actual plot and what it was really about thought it was crap..

not true at all. But you're right, I should rephrase. It's one of the best movies about time travel ^^

Some other good examples would be:

Frequently asked question about time travel
Donnie Darko
The Langonliers (only 5.9 on imdb... maybe I still like it coz I've watched it when I was little. The book is prolly better. Never got my hands on it.)

The Langonliers was hindered by poor production.
Donnie Darko +1

Southland Tales -10

Brazil is another of his best. Haven't got a clue why its called Brazil but its got great story, setting and visuals and De'Niro playing a renegade plumber.

Saw "The Green Hornet 3D" and enjoyed it... my wife also enjoyed it.

I still think that 3D needs a little more time to mature but it was more like watching a movie that was produced in 3D then a 3D movie (if you know what I mean). I'd recommend if "action comedy" is your thing... also, I think there may have been some interesting social commentary and satire mixed in... but it may have been unintentional.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

Starts ok, and gets better. In my eyes, better then other movies i saw so far about the topic.

Brazil

i always assumed it was set in brazil probably im wrong though.

Green Hornet

i'll take a moment here to rant about the whole "remake" thing that just seems to be getting bigger and bigger with each passing year. do we REALLY need remakes of awesome old movies like "the italian job", or americanized versions of asian films like "the ring" etc...

and even in recent years, it's become even worse... taking old movies and shows that are interesting only for their nostalgic/strangeness value like miami vice or deathrace and churning out this tasteless swill that some people seem to really like because they have no point of reference

i cant think of a single remake that i felt improved on the original. some were close; i didn't mind the new planet of the apes or the new star trek, but... can't we have something new instead of rehashing stuff we already know?! urghhhhh

i was going to rant a bit about them defiling the legend of bruce lee by remaking one of his works, but i suppose i can forgive the jay chou choice, i really enjoyed him in the curse of the golden flower

i've just been watching anything on rottentomatoes with a mark of higher than 7.5/10 recently and came across this awesome documentary:

Exit through the gift shop
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587707/

sort of starts off with this bonkers french filmmaker dude who goes to try and get an interview and footage of that british street artist banksy (he's the one that did that amazing graffiti on the wall in palestine that was in the news a few years ago, i'm sure you dudes remember) and ends up making a movie that sucks, so banksy sort of reverses the roles and starts filming this french guy in order to create a more cohesive film; ends up as an examination of art in modern times as a manufactured and soulless product (that was my impression at least)

i love my docs, and this was the best i've seen in several months.

Time for smoth's super happy cheese movies!
