You bought the Lookout? I have pretty mixed feelings on that one. It just wasnt gritty enough for me. A tidy, semi-hokey movie about bank robbers? Meh.

anyway how's Hard Eight?

[durden85]

@JoyousExultation117 Yeah, I really dig THE LOOKOUT. Probably because I love Joseph Gordon Levitt and I thought the vibe was really cool and set more in reality than like the gritty crime films. And HARD EIGHT is VERY good. I haven't seen it in a while but I remember loving it. Definitely PT Anderson's lesser film but still incredible.

I live in Ireland, maybe I'll see you there haha. Just to say, movies like Remember Me and She's out of my League haven't even come out yet over here. The only movies that I'll think you'll be interested in are The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I Love you Philip Morris.

[durden85]

haha, well if you do see me on the streets and recognize me, say HI! lol, that'd be awesome. Yeah, I think I might check out I LOVE YOU PHILIP MORRIS. I also heard CHLOE was open over there and I'm very intrigued by that premise. Seriously though...if you see me, yell, "Aaron! Durden85! I love your reviews!" or something like that. haha.

Julien Donkey Boy...interesting lol. Hopefully Werner Herzog appearance in it will make it more bearable. Have a great time in Ireland, though! I've never been to Europe so I'm jealous too.

[durden85]

yeah, I've never seen Julien Donkey Boy but I thought it was too rare of a find to pass up! lol

[JoyousExultation117]

I might get some hate for this but I thought Joseph Gordon Levitt's acting was kind of....off in the Lookout. He was definitely solid but there were a few times I thought he kind of hammed it up. Other than that I thought Jeff Daniels and Mathew Goode were both great!

[chadscrap]

P2 is a brilliant fim i loved it i gave it 5 stars i love the ending and how good the acting is!:D

[xxKiernan94xx]

WOW lol im going to ireland the day u get back haha keep up the good stuff and good luck with finals

[69amidniteparty69]

here some recommendations-

CHOPPER (eric bana's best role in my opinion)

A BITTERSWEET LIFE (best korean gangster film)

KUNG FU HUSTLE (yes, I love this movie)

SUPER TROOPERS

KENNY(an australian mockumentary about a plumber)

INFERNAL AFFAIRS(what THE DEPARTED was inspired by)

THE MAGICIAN(another Oz mock/doc but about a hitman, you can probably find it on ebay)

NIGHT WATCH (russia's genre twisting film)

and a possibly a film in which everybody hates but you actually love

[DVDeMm]

Good luck with finals and have a great time in Ireland!

[frididjurhuus]

Why a shoutout?

[thebigsleep2000]

a prophet is a great movie also any other film by

Jacques Audiard

[Solarcoreg]

A Japanese Anime full length movie like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke or even better, Grave of the Fireflies. orrrrr a Brasilian movie like Central Station, City of God, or even better, Elite Squad.

Any one of those would rock.

Have a fantastic time in Ireland and eat well (there's more to the food there than potatoes)
