Someone told me the spoiler to Shutter Island already. In the end, the detective is really just Leonardo DiCaprio.

In the sense of a well-produced movie yes. In the sense of factuality no.

i dunno or particularly care about the facts but as a movie that **** did its job like a mofo. very well produced
I saw Brick. SUPER entertaining, so glad I finally got around to it. The characters and dialogue are really intriguing, you never get bored. I like how the main character wasn't invincible as well- makes everything much more believable. Also the part where the main character takes off his shoes and slides (trying to keep it detail-free) was awesome to watch lol.
Story-wise it wasn't the most innovative or convoluted plot I've ever seen but the important part was that it was solid and didn't disappoint, allowing the stronger points of the film to shine through without distraction. Would say more but it's really fun to watch, hooks you right from the start. You won't regret watching this.
Also, it is NOT too hard to follow along. Just keeps you guessing and paying attention =)

it's not supposed to be innovative, the whole point is that it's a classic noir style story retold in a high school setting.
my biggest, and basically only, problem with brick was that it was occasionally hard to hear the dialog. it never really detracted from my ability to follow the movie, but it did take me out of it a little bit.

depends, is everyone going to be able to see it or just you?
if everyone is going to be able to see it, watch old disney or pixar movies. family friendly so you dont have to worry about offending people, and they're still really entertaining.
if it's something only you can see, get some good action movies that aren't super storyline heavy. that way if you have to pause/stop paying attention to it you wont miss out on much.

wouldn't watching any movie at work (your job specifically) be kind of a bad idea?

American Beauty. Good for home, not for the work environment.
If you want a movie for work that you can tune in and out of whenever you want, watch District B13. There's not enough plot or character development to justify paying attention to, but it's always fun to see people do flips 'n sheet.

I wouldn't recommend you watch any GOOD movie while at work cause you want to be able to absorb the whole experience and not be distracted and have some of the magic taken away from you.
So watch a crappy action movie or a comedy.

it could actually be a v good idea to watch a good movie (like fargo or something) in the background just to get the gist of it and let it soak in, because it always takes you multiple viewings to fully understand a movie's nuances anyway
so i guess fargo's your recommendation

has anyone seen Miami Vice? I watched it last night, and thought it was pretty **** cool.
Some of the acting is pretty bad, but it didn't bother me that much. It's not an over the top action movie (like Bad Boys 2), it's more of a serious crime drama. There's some cool cinematography and the action is engaging and really cleanly shot.
I don't really understand why it was panned when it came out. I went into it with really low expectations and thought they made a much better movie than I would've expected.
edit: In case anyone cares, it's directed by Michael Mann, the director of Heat. He knows how to shoot a movie.

Finished watching Iron Man 2 and I think it was good! I wasn't impressed how they finished the last fight though!

1. Fellowship of the Ring is the best LOTR movie by far. You must be crazy if you don't think so.
2. Brick is fantastic, I saw it when it first came out in theaters... it's the most wonderfully depressing movie I have ever seen.

i can't tell if people say things are 'so cash' ironically or not. it kinda bothers me.
I watched Collateral (starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx) last night. I was really impressed, again, by Michael Mann. He really knows how to make a good dark, moody movie. I liked it more than Miami Vice, but less than Heat.
I also watched two Coen Brothers movies I hadn't seen before recently.
The first, was "A Serious Man". Technically, the movie is flawless. The cinematography, costumes, acting, setting are all perfectly spot on. Most people who see this will probably say it was 'pointless'. I thought it was an interesting story about a man dealing with different challenges that are in front of him.
Apparently the book is supposed to be similar to the Book of Job, but I have limited biblical knowledge so I will not comment on that.
I think that even if you watch it and say it's pointless or you don't care for the movie, it's worth watching for the acting, directing and cinematography.
The second movie I watched was "The Man Who Wasn't There". It's another well shot and acted movie, although this time it's a black and white noir story. I don't really know how to describe the plot without giving too much away, but Billy Bob Thornton plays a Barber in a small town in the 40s. He's a quiet man who is living a simple life, but finds himself getting caught up in a web of crime and lies. I really liked this one, and I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good noir flick.
