I'll start off by saying that you should save your money and time and skip "The rise of Taj" - awwwwwwwwwwwfullllll... Horrible. Just bad. I'd rather watch "American Wedding" 3 times in a row than watch this crapola once.
My "must see" recommendations:
- "The Prestige" - awesome, reaaaaaly good movie... just don't treat it like "OMG, that's impossible". Go along with the story and you'll find it excellent. Kinda like "The sixth sense" in terms of twists and turns.
- "The Departed" + "Internal Affairs" (original version). See Internal Affairs first, then "The Departed" for added pleasure. If you don't like watching spoiled movies or watching 2x, see "The Departed" then.
I'd add "300" but I haven't seen it yet. Waiting for all the crowds to stop flooding the movie theater, can't watch when there are all those morons on their cell phones or talking to each other "Ughuh gurl, check out the body on that one." "Aha, yeah, that's right sista - he's aaaalll dat! Break me offf a piece of that azz"... (Swear, this was the conversation between two intelligent young women seated in front of me during a preview for "300" about month ago). Then they wouldn't stop yapping all movie long. Why bother going to the movie again????
anyway.
recommend/bash away. |

I enjoyed it, despite my dislike for Jack Nicholson overacting in everything he does. |

| I didn't like the prestige. After about 8 plot twists I got sick of plot twists...then they provided 18 more twists. other than that it was kinda entertaining. |

What about American Pie 5 - The Naked Mile? Would you watch that 3 times in a row over Van Wilder 2? I personally wouldn't, but I agree The Taj is nowhere near as good as the original. The lead chick is hot though.
I want to see The Ultimate Gift but I can't seem to find anywhere in Sydney that's screening it :conf:
EDIT: whoops we're talking movies to skip.
