Prometheus.

The first half is a well-plotted, straightforward story with a few issues that can nonetheless be brushed aside if the viewer takes a lenient approach. The second half piles up a hefty stack of inconsistencies, plot holes and problems and generally undoes the hard work of the first half.

I'd be interested to know what those are. I didn't pay much attention and only remember Miss Vickers

Also my last movie was: Muppet Treasure Island. Yes, that one. Light the lamp, not the rat!

Anyway, the answer now is A Scanner Darkly, which probably one of, possibly the best, Philip K. Dick adaptations in existence.

Either way, thanks for the reply.

Last movie I watched was a show- Doctor Who but I didn't get very far.

Agreed!

I saw Snow White and the Huntsman last night, which was visually impressive, but otherwise mediocre.

Also I forgot to mention watching Phantom of the Paradise last week (currently rewatching it again).  It's an amazingly over-the-top rock opera from the seventies (aren't they all?), and it's now one of my favourite movies :D

The Raid. It was AWESOME, and far more brutal than I was expecting. The characters aren't exactly oozing with depth and development, but I didn't really give too many fucks. You don't watch a movie like this for well written drama.

Also, I know everyone has said this before, but The Raid and Dredd really are very, very similar. They're eerily similar in parts, beyond having the same basic premise of "cops get trapped in a tower block full of bad guys" - more so in the earlier parts of the movie than later on. Weird thnig is though it doesn't seem likely anyone copied anybody else; although The Raid was released before Dredd, Dredd was in production before The Raid. And both were independant movies made at opposite sides of the planet from eachother. It seems like it's just a very bizzare coincidence.

Having said that, they are different enough that you need both movies in your life.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Calling this deranged would be the understatement of (last) century. Brilliant though. Not sure it has a lot of re-watch value, I don't like ultraviolence, and the eye scream was hard to watch, but yeah... It's Kubrick, what else can I say? I'm absolutely shocked that they actually showed in in theatres, I will say. In the early 70s, no less...

There was a reason it was rated X in the States.

A very good reason, it turns out. Here it was given an 18-A, according to the back of the DVD, not sure if that's just because the Canadian boards tend to be more lax (Psycho is 14-A!) or because that may just e the highest rating we have. I'll have to check.

Bah. I wasn't as clear as I should have been. It was X rated when it first came out, and I think only midnight showings. NC-17 has replaced X here, and A Clockwork Orange is currently R rated.

I liked House of a Thousand Corpsesbetter. But Rejects has the only good use of Freebird I've seen.

I found this really weird strange on Netflix called "Parents."

It was a dark comedy set in the 1950's about this little boy who discovers that his dorky parents are actually cannibals.
