Anyone seen Tell No One? I really want to see it.

Also, here's a topic seeing as it's almost december: What's been the best film you've seen this year? I think in the mine has been Sunshine, because it was so tense right the way through. I haven't been to the cinema that much this year mind you.

I saw Beowulf last weekend, and the dissapointing story really dissapointed.

Best movie of the year might be The Bourne Ultimatum. Mainly because thats the one I remember the best. I've also seen a disspointing number of films this year.

Yeah, the only reason I'm still tempted by Beowulf is because it's in 3D. I've not heard a lot of good about it though.

I posted this elsewhere, but I thought I'd share it with all of you here too:

Into the Wild

This movie actually impacted me at a level that I've never experienced before. I've been emotionally touched by movies in the past, but my younger brother took his own life just two weeks before this movie was released, and this movie helped me achieve a degree of closure regarding that event.

I'd read the book when I was in high school, and fallen in love with it. In fact it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that Chris McCandless story resonated at such a deep level with me that it changed my life. Similarly, my brother read it around the same age that I did, and although his battles with schizophrenia made it difficult for him to communicate with me, I could tell that the story had a very profound impact on him as well. I knew the significance the book had in both of our lives before I walked into the theater, in fact, that was the reason I chose to go see that particular movie that day, but I had no idea what was in store for me...

I felt like I was watching a metaphor for my own brother's life. Emile Hirsch looked like my brother, at times the resemblance was so chilling it would bring tears to my eyes immediately. McCandless love of nature, and struggle to find his place in a world that was so unforgiving paralleled my brother's own struggle so poetically that I soon realized that I was getting my chance to say goodbye. My fiancée held me close the whole movie helping me come to terms with the cathartic moment that this movie was offering.

Now, I'm a pretty standard 25 year old guy. I can't remember when, or even if, I'd ever cried at a movie before. But I wanted to share this story as a reminder of how significant art can be in our lives when it is created honestly. As far as any objective review goes, I'm in no place to give Into the Wild one any time soon. But what I do know is that the creative team behind Into the Wild touched on some extremely important subjects of the spirit, and more importantly gave me a chance to say goodbye to my brother that I wouldn't have had otherwise.

So thank you: Chris McCandless (Alexander Supertramp), Jon Krakauer, Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, and everybody else that played a role in this story. You gave me a gift that I won't soon forget.

Saw it yesterday. I loved it. The music is great.

I saw it at a normal cinema, so i don't know about the 3d, but from past experiences I haven't been very impressed by it.

Just saw 'The Kingdom'. I think it was quite good, especially with the way it ended. It's a good example of violence feeding violence.

Next in line: I'm Not There

I just saw "I am legend", which was pretty ok although Im not much for zombiemovies. it had some pretty good scenes but the animation is pretty bad, I wish they would "hide" the zombiethingies more in the shadows allowing less sightings of them.

I saw "once" some time ago and it was really good. FINALLY there's a movie with a good musical touch. I hate it when someone sings in a movie and it's clearly overdubbed/over-enhanced or when someone randomly "have their hand" over the fretboard of the guitar instead of holding the actual chords. and it's everywhere too! "once" had the guts to really let the music take place and it turned out very well!

Haven't seen it yet, but if you want to see some really piss-poor animation you should watch 'Ghost Rider'.

It is, as we say in sweden, a kalkonrulle, or in english: turkeyroll.

Has anyone here seen The History Boys? (It was on the BBC the other night)

I have to say I loved it. I just adore those inspiring-school-teacher kind of stories (Tuesdays with Morrie and the like)

I saw I Am Legend today. Two things they could've done better: skip all that God-talk and, as saboteur said, hide the infected in the shadows more. With such poor animation it's not acceptable to show them that much.
Otherwise I think it was a good movie. The first half (where you actually didn't see the infected humans that much) was tense and good, and if they could have kept it that way it would have been a really good movie.
But then again, I am a real sucker for 'last man on earth'-movies.

The real question is how was the Dark Knight trailer?

- M

I personally can't wait. Everything I see about it makes me want to see it more. I had reservations about Heath Ledger, because I kept just thinking "this is the guy from 10 things I hate about you and A knight's tale" (I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain), but his voice and looks in the trailers sound pretty damn good if you ask me.

Can't wait either. Loved "Begins", and have great expectations for this one. I sure hope Christopher Nolan delivers.

Yeah, Batman Begins was the best superhero film so far in my opinion, although I haven't seen some of the older generation of films, and I was put off the entire Spiderman series by the third film being awful. The same thing happened to me with the Matrix - the sequels were so bad I now don't even like the first one that much, even though the first few times I saw it I thought it was fantastic.

Plus I always tend to like Nolan films. I mentioned Following a long way back in this thread.
