Who'da thunk a new Planet of the Apes movie would be so good?  I would sell my mother into slavery for a super-smart pet monkey.

I think you just wrote the next movie...

Anyone who hasn't seen Drive yet should probably stop what they're doing and find a theatre playing it.
I've heard mixed reviews.

Just saw it and liked it a lot. For some reason the soundtrack really stuck out as exceptional to me. I have no idea who the artists are nor am I familiar with the tracks but in my mind it suited the mood of the film to a tee.

Refn uses sound/music very effectively in his movies in somewhat unusual ways, reminds a little of Kubrick in his approach. I've said it before but I think this guy has a real masterpiece in him. Gosling was no slouch either.

Just caught Red State, Kevin Smith hit it out of the park, great performances from John Goodman and Michael Parks.

You watch his Pusher trilogy? I finally watched the first one. It started pretty slow and somewhat mediocre at first, but once things finally got going it became pretty terrific. Plan on watching the other two soon.

Yeah, I've seen the whole trilogy, did you notice Mads Mikkelsen in his small part in that one? That character is the main lead in the second movie.

Each movie has a similar feel and build I found, the second one especially is so tense by the end you're really not sure what's going to happen.

Yeah, I recognized him immediately as the villain from Casino Royale. I was hoping he'd play a bigger role in the first movie, but I read after that he was the lead in the 2nd movie so that helped.

Yeah, his performance is simply outstanding, weird though I didn't recognize him or think about it until the credits rolled, must have been the shaved head and non bleeding eye... I felt a little stupid not recognizing him but in a way it was good too as I had no preconceptions and was hugely impressed.

I'd like to see a Refn movie with both Mads and Thomas Hardy, that would be just dandy.

I watched Red State last night.  I did enjoy although some parts I was thinking wtf.

Sex, Political, and Religious themes are rolled into this.

Not a conventional movie at all. At the end, just wasn`t sure what to think of the movie. I liked it for the most part just weird transition from horror to action.

Just watched Green Lantern for the first time. I enjoyed the first half of the movie but found it got silly towards the end.
