    Yeah he is great, he was simply epic in There will be Blood and Gangs of New-York. My guess would be that the roles he really excells in don't come along very often

    As a conventional movie, a complete and utter failure. But this film was so freakin' strange and committed to whatever dimension it came from ... I'm not sure it matters. Definitely one of the strangest films I have ever seen. And clearly the best high school teen romance slasher horror film-in-a-film time travel apocalypse bear-themed body swap comedy of all time.

    It got universally bad reviews, which stands to reason, since it makes no logical sense. But ... I'm not sure it matters.

    The trailer makes it look like a teen slasher film. Which is a dirty, stinking lie. But then, how on earth do you market a film this strange?

    Tenderness, great. It's twisted but good. Russel Crow is a much better actor than he gets credits for. He was totally convincing as a nazi in Romper Stomper, yet also as a university professor in A beautifull Mind. He is also really good here. Not stealing the show though, that honour goes to the twisted girl, I never saw her before but she's great

    Movie reminds me of one of my favorite songs with one of my favorite babes http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=__obh4w6tD8

    He was pretty good in Master and Commander too. Which, by the way, I watched last week.

    I can't say anything about the historic merits of the film, but it's a pretty solid film. The sound effects and music are awesome, I think they got an oscar for that.

    Great movie. I kinda wonder why there haven't been a movie about the Anglo-Dutch wars, would be spectacular as battles were between hundreds of warships it must have been quite a sight. I guess we just aren't very interesting

    Guys I really have to recommend "L.A. Zombie." Really though if you see any trailers or read a summary of the plot you are going to have it ruined for you, so I strongly recommend just renting it or getting it on Netflix.

    The Darkest Hours, things don't go as you would expect, it starts out much like a movie like Staw dogs or Last House on the Left but the final 10 minutes completily turns it around.
