crime

Hall of fame  Monk (TazKlingon) : Tony your Awesom!

Interest  The Limits Of Control (Jimsey) : I hope this comes to my local cinema, though I doubt it.

Dislike  Slumdog Millionaire (Annya) : I didn't like it. Like OhTheMirth said, it's totally surreal.

Hall of fame  Naked Lunch (Jimsey) : Perfect choice for late night viewing - with or without substances. A masterpiece nonetheless.

Like  Steelyard Blues (FatCatPeter) : A very 70s movie, with its own special humour. Although late Peter Boyle did not have the leading role, his are the most memorable moments - like his imitations of Marlon Brando, and him being the real cavalry coming to the rescue.

Dislike  Death Proof (hybrisma) : Tarantino, the next time you decide to make a two-hour long film with conversation scenes only, please make it interesting and not all about girls pretending to be hot and independent, trying to show an awful lot of knowledge about cars and music. The only things separating this flick from a complete and utter disaster are Kurt Russell (who dies in the ending in the most pathetic way ever) and all those deaths, which you start craving for after three minutes of listening to all those chicks speaking. This is the female version of Reservoir Dogs gone wrong, so terribly wrong.

Like  A Clockwork Orange (iain2345) : For me, this novel was oddly homey. On one hand, being of Irish descent, the characters' cockney ways were quite familiar to me. On the other, the fact that my adoptive parents (both of whom were the offspring of immigrants) spoke at times in Ukrainian, Polish or Slovak words similar to those in the teen slang of the novel made his talk very accessible. As to its worth as literature, though, I'm somewhat undecided. Though it does give us more characterization than most S.F. works, Its ways of presenting its Christian points seems merely symbolic and therefore shallow.

Dislike  The Bank Job (flyintiger) : Not very convincing. Poor screenplay, poor characters. Story has some elements of The Ladykillers (less the fun) with a cast that would pretend to look like Ocean Eleven. On top of that, there is a clone of James Bond. Jason Statham doen't drive. There is a clone of Malcom X called Michael X. OMG. Very confusing and borderline boring.
