amazing action, but could have used more time getting to know the characters, and needed a sex scene.
just my humble opinion.

considering that 99% of that movie takes place in a prison......NO!....just NO!

The Air I Breath.

Sigh. Now how many times are they going to make the exact same movie. A few seperated storylines, but guess what, they are all connected! Brilliant! Didn't I see that before, yes, the exact same thing. It even has the exact same type of music.

I just watched Kiss of Death (1946) yesterday, and was amazed at how close the plot is to Gran Torino (2008). The earlier film doesn't have the racism theme.

Los Cronocrímenes (Timecrimes) (2008) written and directed by Nacho Vigalondo is a well done and interesting thriller based on the possibility of time travel. The handling of the details in the multiple repetitions of scenes from different perspectives is very well done. It does get confusing, but I didn't see any flaws or plot holes. I would say the acting is average except for the director who plays a secondary part and is below average. The film is not high budget, but it is sufficient to tell the story.

Just saw Adventureland.

Different from what I expected, which was a sort of Superbad-style comedy.

This was wholly different from that. It was a comedy drama, and a good movie. Better than just a good movie. It made me care more for the characters than I do for most movies. Great acting and a great performance by Bill Hader. Definitely seemed more real, more realistic, than most movies. Nor did it sacrifice comedy, though obviously it wasn't a laugh-a-minute farce.
