Both Ed Harris and William Hurt had great performances in this one. Plus, Maria Bello was damn sexy in it. I think this is Cronenberg's best film in years. Definitely worth checking out.

Dude. Ed Harris and William Hurt sucked in this movie. Thier fake ass philly accents were just horrible and so over the top. Worst line from a movie all year.

Joey: What should I do?

William Hurts (what ever his name was): You could die joey. You could die.

WTF I laughed out loud that shit was so stupid. That movie started out ok and just got really fucking bad.

oldboy was 2003.

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance was 2005

But Oldboy was dope.
And I loved Nobody knows! Saw it in the theater and bought it on DVD. The end always makes me hella sad tho.

 

[Dubious]

and yes nobody knows is that real shit.

i still need to see grizzly man which im 100% will take the title of movie of the year.. herzog is the man.

Are you serious? This move was offensively bad. I was shocked by how much stupidity Hollywood managed to package into one film. I suppose in that sense it was actually something of a triumph.

Also, I take issue with all this lauding of Sin City. Aesthetically it was very impressive, but that only gets you so far. The writing was horrific, the acting was lousy, and the plot was threadbare. A 15 minute short would have been sufficient.

I didn't see any good new movies this year that I can remember. Recently, it's been all Bollywood for me. Thank goodness Amitabh is out of the hospital.

Grizzly Man
The Squid and the Whale
Winter Soldier
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Wait! I think this was released in Canada this year:

Regardless, it was a genuinely funny movie. I recommend it, particularly to those of you who, like me, absolutely loathe Shore's entire catalogue. Sweet cameos, too.

yeah that was a strange one... i think rodriguez is easily one of the worst directors on the planet in terms of dialogue and believability.. and i HATE frank miller... that said i for some reason liked sin city alot.. it was awesome visually and i thought the over the top tone was on the money.. but everybody i've talked to really didnt like it at all.

This movie was banging. First movie I saw on a plane that I was super into, and the only good Batman jawn IMO.

Christian Bale is hot too.

I concur. The reviews had me amped, but I was dissapointed. 80% of Cronenbergs movies leave me apathetic, and this was one of them. But Maria Bello was sexy, no doubt

I thought she was sexy then I saw her in that movie with William H Macy and she had a totally flat nasty pancake ass.
