You didn't like Gran Torino?
Meh, it wasn't the worst movie ever obviously, but it wasn't that good either:

- Clichés all over the place? Check
- Cringeworthy acting? Check
- Ridiculous / unintentionally funny dialogues? Check
- Extremely limited plot? Check

And you know I tend to "enjoy" a bad movie from time to time. So all this wouldn't even annoy me that much, if only that movie didn't take itself so damn serious.

Agree. The cliches were packed tight.

Mr. Nobody

If you love artsy-fartsy movies, it will blow you away. I didn't watch it in a good mood so I wasn't. Still, folks should give it a go, really original movie. Definitely stay away if you don't like slooooooooow paced drama. That means you, Martin. :p


Oh and Primal Fear>Training Day.

The thing that I never understood is that Eastwood always gets away with it, while flicks by other directors are mostly lambasted over it. I find that very odd.

The synopsis really piques the mind, though:

Nemo Nobody leads an ordinary existence at his wife's side, Elise, and their 3 children until the day when reality skids and he wakes up as an old man in the year 2092. At 120, Mr. Nobody is both the oldest man in the world and the last mortal of a new mankind where nobody dies anymore. But that doesn't seem to interest or bother him very much. The only questions that preoccupy him in the present is whether he lived the right life for himself, loved the woman whom he was supposed to love, and had the children whom he was meant to have... now his purpose is to find the right answer.
