Holy damn this movie looks sweet. It's kind of a weird reverse Y: The Last Man, but I don't give a shit. Written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, the director of Y tu mamá también and the third Harry Potter movie, starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. I want to see it.

This movie is going to kick ass.

8/30/2006 11:46:23 AM

Even though the trailer seems to give it all away.

Also, gg Michael Caine. You look silly.

8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM

Since I'm gay, though, I watched A Little Princess the other night. That's one of his best, really.

12/25/2006 3:22:37 PM

where is this showing?

12/28/2006 12:49:00 AM

getting mad good reviews

12/28/2006 12:59:28 AM

The book sucked. But the movie looks like it's got a lot of things that are different. Plus it has Clive Owen. And I'd pretty much club baby seals for Clive Owen.

12/28/2006 3:46:04 AM

I'll holler at you, spooky, if you can wait until early January... Speaking of which, when the fuck does this start playing around here?

12/28/2006 5:45:50 PM

I think it opens tomorrow.

I won't be able to see it until after Monday anyway. I'LL PENCIL YOU IN.

12/28/2006 5:50:44 PM

Opening at North Hills tomorrow!

1/4/2007 12:14:01 PM

Hell yea. Can't wait to see this. Ill be gone this weekend but Im so going early next week.

1/4/2007 1:47:08 PM

Saw it last weekend. Pretty good movie, but not what I expected.

looks intriguing.

even if all women were infertile, humans and clones could be grown in labs. like in "the island", but on a simpler and real way. civilization can continue.

1/4/2007 7:05:08 PM

^That's unfortunate.

1/4/2007 10:39:55 PM

yeah, this movie is pretty awesome.... but at the same time, I had higher expectations.

I thought it was going to be a contender for best movie of the year, but I think The Departed is easily better. For me atleast.

1/5/2007 4:35:13 AM

I want to see this movie at some point.

bttt

1/5/2007 11:58:07 AM

exactly my thoughts

1/5/2007 4:31:16 PM

saw it last night, i thought it was pretty good, not spectacular or anything, but a good watch. can someone tell me what happened in like the first 10 minutes. the paper printed the wrong time for the movie so i missed out.

1/6/2007 10:21:56 AM

This had two of the most impressive shots I have ever seen in a film.

1/6/2007 11:11:53 AM

^ please elaborate. I loved the splattered-blood effect on the camera during the uprising scene.

1/6/2007 1:05:00 PM

That shot is one of the two (and I actually read that the blood on the lens there was an accident). It is a six minute long shot with a lot of action and what I can only imagine is pretty incredible choreography. You can actually watch that scene here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=T61ufvuu5_Y It is dubbed in another language, though.

The shot in the car where Julian is killed is the other one (my personal favorite). It's 4 minutes long, starting from Theo waking up in the back seat and ending with the cops lying dead on the road. I'd be interested to see how they moved that camera around through the car while it was moving, because at the end of the shot you can see the entire car and it is intact.

^ Saw it tonight. Pretty good. Visit the wikipedia page on the movie to see how that scene was done. I think the uprising scene was "spliced" though, not sure.

1/7/2007 12:28:18 AM

I enjoyed this movie. Their depiction of how the refugees (Fugees???) are treated is pretty spot on with what most of redneck and loser america wants implemented today.

1/7/2007 12:29:49 AM

Please everyone go see this movie now!

It was amazing! There were sooooo many WTF moments.

That one scene with the deer freaked me out. haha

[Edited on January 8, 2007 at 10:40 PM. Reason : e]

1/8/2007 10:40:08 PM

It was really good.

I wanted something a little different out of it, but the cinematography was great. Oh, and I thought it was interesting (and awesome) that they used the Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima.

You're out of your fucking mind.

1/9/2007 1:21:44 PM

was a great movie - but a horribly shitty ending

1/9/2007 1:32:30 PM

^^ No he's not.

1/9/2007 1:32:53 PM

You people need to wake up

1/9/2007 1:44:12 PM

To what, exactly?

1/9/2007 1:53:20 PM

Just saw it, AMAZING.

1/12/2007 9:14:37 PM

once again, can someone please tell me what happened in the first 10-15 minutes of the film

1/13/2007 3:35:35 AM

The main character is going to get a cup of coffee. You see the news broadcast on television saying that baby Diego died. He leaves the coffee shop and starts walking down the street when all of a sudden a bomb explodes in the coffee shop. You see this woman come out of the coffee shop screaming and she's missing an arm and holding the missing arm in her other hand.

1/13/2007 8:15:40 AM

That was fantastic.
