Despite being 1/2 orange, I'm hoping to see The Wind That Shakes The Barley this weekend.

Which 1/2 ?

I finally saw Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno) and it's brilliant.

The best film I've seen in years. Check it out for sure.

Just saw 300, primarily since its reviews were so bad, its sales so good and the Iranian demands that it be boycotted. Not a bad film for what it was, but had a giggle at parts that were a little over the top.

Bad reviews? The tomato meter has it at 61% positive, 2nd best of the past week's top 10.

Especially for this forum, I'd have to recommend Radiant City. We saw it on Friday night.

300, if taken as a serious movie, is terrible. But, I think it clearly was meant to be more fun than serious, with the highly fantastical imagery and depictions... everything as hyperbole.

As the latter, I think it succeeds nicely.

As the latter, I think it succeeds nicely.

...and is more fun in IMAX with 12,000 watts of sound.

IMAX can make any bad movie good. It worked wonders on Poseidon.

I liked the movie 300. Iranian critics must also remember that the Persian army under Xerses (sp?) consisted of dozens of different peoples, including Indians, Arabs, the ancestors of the Cossaks, Tartars, plus Persians. Thus, there's a whole world that should be offended LOL...

"Grindhouse" is a scream. One of the two films (no spoiler, so I won't say which one) is the most fun I've had at the movies in years.

 

[ganjavih]

The Lives of Others is outstanding. That and Pan's Labyrinth are two of the best films I've seen in the last few years.
