Movie Recs?

Saw In the Loop in the theater.  Smartest, funniest movie of last year!!!!  I bought it

I'll second Whiteout being mega-laughable. It's genuinely funny if you watch it in a packed theater...too bad you missed that opportunity the day it came out. Kate Beckinsdale basically spends the entire movie making observations of things the audience already sees/has seen. ("It's a body! I think he was stabbed in the chest!", "It's really cold out. There's ice everywhere!", "Diamonds!")

Hahaha -- I saw that movie on my flight back from London in January (couldn't sleep), and it was impressively bad.  As you say, the dialogue is mostly Statements of the Obvious.

I saw North Face (The "Teutonic Titanic") over the weekend.  It's a real cliffhanger.

I saw The White Ribbon over the weekend. It was excellent.

Also, I really want to see Hot Tub Time Machine.

The Ghost Writer, Roman Polanski's new film starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan, is great.  A Hitchcockian, stylish thriller with contemporary political overtones.  Performances and cinematography are superb.

I just saw 2012.  That's all.

Can't wait to see it.

This should be entertaining, if only because Perry is certifiably batshit.

THE UPSETTER: THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF LEE "SCRATCH" PERRY

Discover the visionary Jamaican musician and artist, Lee "Scratch" Perry who burst on the scene in the late 1950s with a brand new sound, inventing a genre of music that would come to be called reggae.

Narrated by Benicio Del Toro, this film charts 70 years in the life of Perry through his own words.

Is there a movie thread? I watch a handful a year, max... but I watched "The Whale" on the plane the other day. Holy shit, that was depressing.
