yeah, this was great! i just saw it last night. it was such a versatile, smart thriller. i wish more films like this were made instead of action cgi-fests.

You'll be adding Persepolis to this list soon. Had me smiling ear to ear.

Re: Film of the year?
 

I did like The Lives of Others as well, liked it more than No Country For Old Men, I dont think it is "better" however.

Re: Film of the year?
 

"No country for old man" was good. But "Before the devil knows you are dead" deserves more praise in my opinion. It's soo freaking good. Both super disturbing.. and crazy good. But there is something in the theme of Before.. that make it so unique. Did anyone saw this? is like geek drama.
I could not see it again in a while though.. but what an awesome movie.


so:
1. Before the devil knows you are dead
2. Blade Runner: Final CUt
3. Control
4. The Savages
5. I'm not there

oh! Two Embraces by Enrique Begne, Sweeney Todd and [COLOR=Silver]I am Legend [/COLOR]i like them too.

Re: Film of the year?
 

Hey I liked I am Legend as well :D

Mainly the shots of NYC overtaken by wildlife and total desolation.

Re: Film of the year?
 

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is quite good, although the shattering glass bang cuts got a bit old for me. I still like the structure though and everyone's performances were stellar.

Lumet's still got it in him at what, age 80?? crazy.

Re: Film of the year?
 

saw that recently as well and thought it was pretty bad. The isolated stuff in the first half is pretty good (that scene when he has to get into the dark building to get his dog was very tense) but as soon as the monsters start appearing it all goes downhill with cheap scares and uninteresting plot.

Re: Film of the year?
 

Yeah the zombies/monsters wathever they were sucked big time.

Re: Film of the year?
 

the zombies scared me. I mean.. is a damn shitty good action movie. hehe..
but i do love the landscapes and i even thought the zoombies were so mad because, will took her girlfriend.. and i was like awww the zoombie miss the girl.. :) and i though was kind of nice.
Once a year this type of movies are really good he.
