if you don't like Hot Fuzz,
you didn't grow up with horrible cop-buddy-dramas.
Not to mention the Police Academy franchise.

Any movie that contains nudity you can't masturbate to is a sin.

It was bad? I havent seen it yet, but Seth Rogen is brilliant. Im also a fan of the TV series Undeclared and Freaks & Geeks, both created by Judd Apatow. Didnt care much for Anchorman though. Too "crazy", if you know what I mean.
Im looking foreward to Superbad. George Michael is in it you know :smile: (No, not the gay singer).

I think I would've liked it better if the female lead wasn't such a stuck up twat.

Maybe so, maybe so. I also looks a bit chick flick-ish. But the reviews have been good so far. Ill check it out one day.

Hotel Chevalier - great use of negative space and Natalie Portman's ass. I want to see The Darjeeling Limited even more now.

Lady in the water - Possibly the worst piece of shit I've ever seen.

Contact - Horrible ending. Otherwise enjoyable\gay. Reminded me of Jurasic Park for some reason.

The "slash" goes the other way. Not like this \, but like this /.

That said, Lady in the Water is the proof that M. Night Shamalan (or whatever his name is), is an horrible filmmaker. The Sixth Sence is shit. Even Signs was better.

\He has a weird sense of humour that I might be able to like though, it's just that it isn't enough to save his horrible, horrible stories.

I actually found the village to be mediocre. But this movie was just plain shit.

Ever since the world ended - For those of you into post-apocalyptic settings, this would suit you. Reasonably interesting "documentary".

The Lives of Others - the main character (the spy, not the playwright) is one of the best subtle performances of 2006. So much is shown in his deadpan, Buster Keaton would be proud.

The Kingdom - As good a closing action sequence as you'll see. Pretty tight, but Jamie Foxx's mumbling and all the hand-held camera-work had me wanting to leave for most of the first half.
