- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

- Review
- Watch a "Transformers" DVD instead
- The Dictator
- Review
- Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.
- Jiro Dreams Of Sushi
- Review
- When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.

@litrock said:@AssInAss: I don't understand the idea that this needs to be scary or work as a horror film. It is ABOUT horror movies, but it doesn't even really attempt to be one. The moments that play on the tropes of the genre, which normally are meant to be scary, are constructed to be subverted. I mean, they put a jump stinger in the title.I dunno, some movies aren't for ...

Ok, I just came back from watching it. Was pretty disappointed to say the least.The main way how the film fails is because of the shocking lack of character development. I cared for none of the characters. I don't think that was the intention or then we wouldn't have sweeping music for certain perilous moments. When you know what's going to happen to the cabin characters, it's hard to take ...

The Art and Design of Sci-fi - Screenpups I need your assistance
on the General Discussion board.
The Matrix DVD had great looks at the set design for the Nebuchadnezzar ship and the jack-in chairs. Geoff Darrow, famous comic book artist, was behind it.

@litrock said:@AssInAss: Ugh, they're doing more regular reviews now? That shtick was already getting old, that video is nearly unwatchable. But no, I disagree with that conclusion. I don't think there's anything particularly confusing or inconsistent about Cabin. Why haven't you gone see it yet so you can just read my review!Because I'm right now studying in Czech Republic, and can't go back to UK until end of June!I'll probably ...

@litrock said:@AssInAss: It's been sitting in my netflix queue forever but I haven't seen it. Maybe I will sometime this week.GET ON IT! :PHalf in the Bag (RedLetterMedia) did a review of the movie, do you disagree with their view? That it's got plenty of great ideas, but overall doesn't make a lick of sense?

"Watch It At Home"What does that even mean?! Is this out on Video On Demand? Not showing up on Amazon or iTunes...Or does it mean it's an equivalent rating of rent the movie?

@nofx4208 said:I'm glad we're seeing an end to at least THIS journey for Kenny Powers. I can't wait to see his finish line, because I know the writers will bring him to an appropriate conclusion, especially for the character's journey sake. Jody Hill and Danny McBride should be proud for what they did, which is make one of the most insane and brilliant comedic character studies to grace TV. I ...

If you're in US, you can watch it on demand right now. iTunes, Xbox, PS3, Amazon, etc.Easily best film of 2012 so far. All of our darkest thoughts about the state of our society and our wishes put on screen for catharsis.Bobcat delivers once again! Great performances, well-rounded characterisation, satire, commentary, and pitch-black comedy. Network, Falling Down, and now God Bless America for this generation. Way darker than World's Greatest ...

It's a fine logo, although I'm thinking more hood ornament.If they can reign in Zack Snyder's lunacy (maybe that's Chris Nolan's job?), and just have him focus on visuals, it can turn out good.

It had that guy from Reaper...and that's all I have to say about this unremarkable, creatively bankrupt film.

Oh yeah, and Lenny Kravitz as Cinna is also brought up by the racists. Apparently there isn't a description for his skin color, though but I haven't read the books so can't guess.Lenny Kravitz as Cinna

I hope this is Gattaca Niccol and not In Time Niccol.I haven't read the book, but would this be a case of great adaptation of mediocre material?
