It's about a schoolboy's developing relationship with a new girlfriend and his efforts to keep his parents marriage from falling apart.
Heart warming and funny, and exactly the way I looked at life when I was 15.
SUPERB.
Richard Ayoade has a ton of potential. I look to see him in the next couple of years as an actor or director.

Gonna probably give Take Shelter a shot. Has anyone else seen it?

Yah, speed's posts are good reading for sure.
I finally caught Shame in the theater tonight. My first impressions: the cinematography was such a joy to behold. Almost every shot seemed so beautifully constructed. The film's color palette really lent to the overall atmosphere. Carey Mulligan was OK in it - at times I felt as though she was over-acting. Perhaps my main issue with her character was an inability to empathize with her hysterical cellphone breakdown. Then again, that might've actually been the point: seeing it in the same way Fassbender did, reacting with the same strange mix of disgust, loathing, and sympathy. Fassbender was simply flawless in it and if he loses out in the oscar race to some shmuck (clooney in descendants or pitt in moneyball) i'm gonna be very displeased.
Finally got around to watch Shame. I guess it's ok if this movie does not get national accolades. This movie, like Hunger is not for the common man. It takes a lot to digest Steve McQueen's 2 films. That being said, Fassbender was great as usual, but let's give some credit to Carey Mulligan too. She was great playing the role of Brandon's (Fassbender) polar opposite in terms of characterization. Just superb.

I've just finished watching Warrior. A great film, which I highly recommend.

excellent stuff.
This weekend I caught 'The Grey' and it was just what I expected it to be. I wasn't particularly fond of how the main characters weren't much more than caricatures used to draw out emotion just as leeches draw blood.
Tonight I saw 'My Week With Marilyn" and, while Michelle Williams really did inhabit the role quite well and there were many feel-good moments, the film was quite forgettable overall. Also the first 15 minutes were utter e imo (quick cuts that made it feel like a drawn out movie trailer)

I was quite disappointed with My Week With Marilyn myself. Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branaugh basically carried the movie.

And I guess I'll have to watch the Wicker Man remake because based on what's in this clip it's absolutely insane. :wtf:
