Loved that movie!
Watched Frozen today and it was surprisingly good.

UGH.. I watched that movie around the same time you rewatched it but I hadn't checked this thread out. We rented this one and Psycho. I seriously think Psycho was a million times better LOL.. the girl in the movie was such a dumb bitch and let everyone control her and she barely fights back like 8 minutes before the movie ends? plus, the way the husband treated her made me super pissed, I don't know, movies that make me pissed don't work for me
That's the joke
This type of horror film is essential and effective because it puts a relatively sane person in an insane world. You were pissed because you are at a hysterical age in your life. Try watching it again in... 20 years.

It was similar to The Lookout, also with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. But Brick was much better- the writing set it apart from a lot of films. I don't know of any noirs that had as much style. Perhaps Mulholland Drive?
If you just want a decent thriller, I recall A Simple Plan being rather unexpectedly good. It's from a few years back, look it up.

I’ll check out the lookout, thanks! lynch can suck my nuts. Im not nearly smart enough or massive wanker enough to enjoy his films.
Hehe, is the simple plan where someone ends up in the woodchipper? That was ace!

Nope, that was Fargo. A Simple Plan has Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton. It's a Sam Raimi film, probably his most criminally overlooked piece. I'll bet it really engages you.

Saw Pandorum, seems to have gotten panned fairly hard and played nowhere but I thought it was ok.

Pandorum was super ok. I wouldn't ever see it again, though.

Apparently there was talk of a trilogy based off some books which might have expanded it a little more. For what there was I thought they put it together well, even if it was a little clichéd in some aspects.

just watched this tonight too cause of you and hal's assesments, and cause it has joseph gordon levit...
great film, damn levit is so awesome, so good to see he's getting more roles!!
