A friend of mine from San Francisco advised me to skip it. He said it presents a pathetically one-dimensional picture of a man who did a lot of great work on a huge number of social and political issues, summarising his life as "gay politician" when he should be remembered for much more.

Just watched 'Song For a Raggy Boy'. Brilliant movie and acting, but some violent and horrific scenes in it. Can't say much else, other than the trauma suffered by those boys was truly sickening.

This was one of the highs for me, can't stand the little creep

I'd give it 8 out of 10, am a big fan of the whole Star Trek "thing" though

Watched the first half of Milk, thought it was passable but a bit slow. Never got around to watching the rest of it. Rather overrated I think (granting I only saw half of it).

Frost/Nixon is a good film made great by the two lead roles in it.

I remember watching Adaptation & while I got it in the first viewing only on second viewing did I fiull get it but that was a mainstream film.

glad you liked it so much bohspartisan and you seem to have much of the same "wtf" reaction i did pete. i was floored by the performances though and the sheer other-worldliness of the thing. definitely a david lynch-type of film in places and i've yet to watch it a 2nd time myself, which for this kind of picture is very necessary. i've yet to see Adaptation, i must get it on netflix. i have Milk waiting at home too.

That sounds like a remake of a romanian film that I cant for the life of me remember the name off.

Saw "Drag me to Hell" earlier. Doesn't take itself too seriously and found it quite enjoyable. Don't go expecting a masterpiece and I think you should have fun, better than a lot of the horrors recently that just try far too hard.

Watched Fanboys - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489049/ - earlier
Despite the negative reviews, it's a gentle parody and glowing tribute to Star Wars fans. Of which I am one.
And it's got Kristen Bell in the Princess Leia slave outfit.

Saw it last night and thought it was pretty crap. I don't get all the hype about it but I'll agree that it didn't take itself too seriously.

Slumdog Millionaire. Avoided all the movie hype, but watched it on Dvd and it's very good.

The more I think about it the more I liked it. Just telling people about it I find myself getting excited and enthusiastic, I think I just enjoy that time of comedy/horror/gross out type film. It wasn't afraid to play around with conventions of the genre and it just came across like the cast and director were having a ball making it.

Rented "In the Valley of Elah", thought it was very good, Tommy Lee Jones deserving the Oscar nomination he got for it, supposedly based on real events.
