I just watched Best Laid Plans today with Reese Witherspoon and honestly it wasn't that bad.....Usually I watch about 5 movies a week so I'll be posting in this thread quite often with any good ones I see.
Good movies of last week
Posiden, Just My Luck (yeah, it was funny), She's The Man (yeah, that was funny, and she's hott), David Gale, Inside Man, and 16 Blocks....All really good movies.
Hard Candy looks good, won't be coming to blockbuster though until the 19th (

Movies that you must see, and that you must see at least twice to fully appreciate
Cyrano de Bergerac (Jean-Paul version; haven't seen the older one)
Ghost World
Napolean Dynomite
The Batman (1943 serial)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Donnie Darko
Lord of War
Back To The Future
Like I said, the first time you watch them for its entertainment, the second time you watch them because you can connect them to your life, and any piece of art that can do that is a beautiful thing.

TSJ Hard Candy was an independent release made a few months ago. It never got a "big screen release", just a limited one. I got the bootleg off iOffer a while back and it's a hit-or-miss film.

The first time I watched it I never made it all the way through either. The second time I watched it I finished it and it clicked with me.
The movie literally doesn't make a shred of sense until just about the last sentence of the movie, and even then you have to be slightly out of it to grasp the whole concept. It's hard to get but you see the movie in an entirely new light once you do.

Foreign Movies
Battle Royale http//imdb.com/title/tt0266308/
While not a "masterpiece" at all, it should be mandatory that everyone has at least HEARD of the story/plot. It's "Lord of the Flies" with a twist. The corrupted Japanese government in the near future has outlawed rock music and free speech among stuff, and has decided to "weed out" the "delinquent" teenage population by sending random groups of 9th grade middle schoolers (in Japan, High School starts at 10th grade) to a deserted (or made-deserted) island with a duffel bag that has bread, water, a map, and a random weapon. The objective Kill each other, the winner gets to go home and there can only be one winner. It's sick and twisted, and I loved every moment of it.

unkown uchiha; I thought Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang was really good. Different, funny, well acted and had a good twist/plot reveal at the end.
My brother told me about Battle Royale a couple of years ago and couldn't find it anywhere at all. He said it was unbelievably good.
I also watched Requiem For A Dream and it was really good. If I ever have an inclincation to become a junkie, that's the film to stop me. Also watched A History Of Violence (not as good as I thought it would be, too slow but well acted), Hard Candy (fucked up and amazing, very well acted, written and directed), The Boondock Saints (amazing film, needs more recognition), Enrno THe Smartest Guys In THe Room (completely fucked up and crazy to hear some of the stunts they were pulling and having others pull, eye-opening) and my wife and I are going to watch When The Levee's Broke by Spike Lee (documentary on HBO about Katrina, meant to be really good).
