I just watched Chaos Theory. Good movie in the fact that I kinda "fell into" the movie, but the cheating biznitch pissed me off. I was actually hoping Ryan Reynolds would've ditched her....or shot her....or SOMETHING!!

Damn ducks.

I actually liked the 3 card list the best...especially when he changed the order of killing people. That made me chuckle. "TRACY MORE" was hilarious. Edited by Arcane

Let Me In is actually a remake of Let The Right One In. Both are good, and the remake is at times a shot-for-shot remake of the original, but In a lot of ways the original felt more mysterious and frightening.

"The Upside of Anger" leaves you with your jaw open at the end (it did me anyway).
[b]
"Stranger than Fiction"[/b] with Will Farrell is awesome, all the way thru the movie there is this little voice saying 'no way....!"

My favorite movie of all time is A FEW GOOD MEN, my daughter teases me that we can both say all the lines, practically beginning to end! Normally I don't like to watch movies more than once.

Most people don't believe me when I tell them this is my favorite movie. It's seriously just an amazingly well-crafted movie with an outstanding cast and a brilliant, yet simple, story. It hits on a lot of themes, and, in general, is just a good movie to make me feel better on shitty days. Absolutely, without question, watch this movie.

Also, here's a few (keeping in mind that I'm predominantly a sci-fi nerd):

-[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683/"]The Man From Earth[/url] - This movie is extremely dialogue heavy, but it's worth the tediousness.

-[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/"]Primer[/url] - Hands down the best movie about time travel that I have ever seen. (After you watch it, google "Primer Timeline" and prepare to have your mind blown.

-[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069293/"]Solaris (1972)[/url] - An anti-thesis to 2001: A Space Odyssey. At times it is really slow moving, and dated feeling, but it really has a profound effect, and in it's own way, is deeply moving.

-[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/"]Moon[/url] - Just a really great sci-fi movie

-[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317248/"]City Of God[/url] - A movie about growing up, following your own path, war, love, etc etc. It's awesome.

-[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804529/"]Sleep Dealer[/url] - A look into what the future might hold in regards to the borders and foreign labor. Good inde sci-fi

Man from earth is one of my favorite movies, just saw it a year ago.
