oh, I'm not going to spoil anything, but it had me laughing quite hard in the theatre
... yes, I actually spent money to see this, which was probably one of the reasons why I was so hard on the movie - the other reason being that it just didn't feel like a very purposeful film in relation to the overall story of the x-files saga, like you said. So no UFOs or much of anything, really, except for some fairly interesting human drama, and Billy Connolly as a lovable pedophile.

oh yea, one more thing, about the "stem-cells and religion side of things" ... I thought the film took stance as both pro-science and pro-religion in a way that is both admirable and slightly confusing. Only in America! There's a lot there that's just directly political, but I thought it was kinda neat. Didn't save the film for me, though.

Agreed, somewhat conflicting views there on the pro-science/religion! I'm such a fan that I would have paid to see it as well, WOULD have that is... was definitely entertaining, especially if you are a fan of the series, but just not the direction most fans wanted the story to go.

Excellent, best Pixar film i've seen, the fatty humans didn't annoy me as much as i thought they would.

Giving it a 4/5.

I found the build up and the story not very engaging, the main actress wasn't very good either but the ending saved it, seriously amazing. The movie for me starts when they all turn into zombies and they get closed in the penthouse, the old lady at the beginning was also excellent, all in all it had good moments just needed a better conduct.

2) Ploshcha - 10/10
WOW. This is a very important documentary. Torrent it off onebigtorrent.org as much as you want, there are no copyrights to break. It is an U.G. film account of the struggle of the brave people of Belarus against the tyrannical regime of Lukashenko, done in a wonderfully ironic and captivating way. Very inspirational, and very rare. You will never hear from this documentary again. Silence is the name of oppression.

definitely entertaining, especially to the stoner related humor, action is a bit unreleastic an makes you go... eh?!? but the other 3/4 of the movie is pretty funny. I recommend smoking a spliff before hand

I'm not really feelin 'this is england'. It's bloody good tho. I guess it just feels a bit too shane meadows or sumting i dunno. 'Dead mans shoes' is much more my thing, not just the story ect but it feels so real minus the smallest of faults. Need to rewatch both.

I'm rewatching a few of my horrors recently and i really like JU ON 2. I'd love to watch the first one next to the second with popcorn and drugs. I was talking the other day saying that there hasn't really been a new iconic horror figure like freddy; one that is the quintesential embodyment of horror and entertainment. I mean, there's been classic horror icons scince, some that don't deserve it and others that do. But none have done what freddy did; he was fun, scary, could dispose of teens in all manner of ways (especially in the wonderfull sequels), and his sillouette or even just some black and red stripes would mean 'freddy's back, bitch!'. Kayako has all this but mixed with a very pure jap horror aethetic and design. She is freddy meets the ring and it's perfect! I'm looking forward to the third one.
Here have a clip. This is a good example of what i'm saying.
