You better have a better reason for not liking it other than "nothing happened".

Wrecked (2010)
A guy wakes up trapped in a wrecked car in the middle of nowhere with no memory of how he got there. It's really a credit Adrien Brody's acting ability that this movie remains interesting from beginning to end, since 99% of it is just him alone on screen with very few lines.

Boy Wonder (2011)
Witnessing his mother's murder at and early age drives a quiet, nerdy teenager to frightening acts of of brutal vigilantism. This movie is pretty low budget, a little rough around the edges and some of the supporting cast aren't very strong actors, but it's a great, tense story and the lead actor does a terrific job with his role.

I've been meaning to check it out for a while now, I think that I'll watch it soon. Have you, by chance, seen Buried? If you have, how similar is it to Wrecked? The general synopses of both films are pretty close.

I still haven't seen Buried, though I'd like to. Have you seen it? Is it worth watching?

I'm still surprised Brody planted that big french on Halle Berry at the Oscars. I should probably re-watch The Piano at some point.

I loved it. It does so much with the isolated setting--the inside of a coffin buried in the middle of the desert--and held my interest all the way throughout. I'd say that it's worth watching, yes.

Wow. That has to be the most magical, captivating animated film I've ever seen. It met and exceeded my expectations. 9/10

Awesome isn't it?

No laptop for 3 weeks, fixed today so I have been watching quite a few films!

A tale of physical and mental abuse that has an outstanding central performance and moments of surrealism and flights of fancy that curiously make the film much more uplifting than it's subject matter suggests. Well worth checking out.

Hmm. As a prequel it definitely ties into the first film very well but after I watched it, I wondered what was the point of it really as I didn't get any amazing revelations and I really wish it was old school FX and not CGI. A decent watch but not a film I will bother with again.

Crap. Looks amazing but godawful script.

Great to look at and I really hate to dis the rejuvenated Hammer Films but it bored me but then I am not too fond of ghost stories as very few actually offer anything new to the plate.

A gang of hoodies terrorise a school after hours, they don't speak and you never see their faces which is a great touch. It is well shot and refreshingly lacking cliches but I have rarely seen a film that doesn't have an ending or motivation for the assailants but it's a well made film for the budget.

Based on a true story. It's a creepy little thriller regarding a married couple living in the countryside who are terrorised by some locals with shocking consequences. The last shots are very powerful but just a one view film for me.
