Re: Recent films. A very brief opinion.
It seems that the majority of critics loved it and the general public also thought good of it.
75% ratio from Rotten Tomatoes (100% from their top critics) and a 7.2 from IMDB. I've not seen this myself.

I can't find my copy of Fargo anywhere. I've ever there's a chicken soup kind of day (haha) then that's the film I'd put on. it always cheers me up. McDermot gets all the praise but Macy in the fucking Bull in that thing.

You'd love the Informant- imagine Macy from Fargo with a smidgen of Patrick Bateman for an entire film.

Oh yeah, I caught Crank (1) on TV the other day, it was a silly, passable time waster of a flick.
Crank 2 worth renting?

Re: Recent films. A very brief opinion.
was Crank edited for TV?
if so, that could be the reason for your dislike
i didnt think i'd like it but it won me over for it's over the topness

Not bad at all- did a really great job of recreating an 80's style horror film, complete with awesome Casio theme music.
Didn't blow my mind but definitely worth a rental

Really enjoyed Fantastic Mr. Fox
Not as good as Royal Tennenbaums (sp) and Life Aquatic- but pretty close
But it blew away the rest of Wes Anderson's films

not a comedy , as it is billed , and i am sure most folk would find it easy to find many faults with this film , but i enjoyed it quite a bit .
its no taxi driver , but a lot of similarities .
