I watched the first half hour of Withnail and I and loved it. Then I forgot about it forever. Looks like I figured out what to do on my day off tomorrow.

Watched Neighbors with Zack Efron and Seth Rogan and it was pretty freaking hilarious. The real standout though was Rose Byrne using her native accent. She was filthy as hell and really funny the whole movie.

A Field in England.
If you like odd movies, if you like incredible atmosphere, if you like folklore, if you like to work a little when watching a movie (ie nothing is explained or laid out) then I highly recommend it. It's one of my very favourites. |

The Hurt Locker on Netflix last night.
INTENSE! Jeremy Renner is probably in my top 5 actors working today along with Benjamin Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

I thought it was pretty great, loved the way it built suspense like you mentioned. It so did not deserve that best pic Oscar given the competition though. The academy was clearly voting with their freedom boners.

Love how they used big name actors in such small roles, i.e; Guy Pierce, Ralph Fiennes, and David Morse. Bigelow has friends in Hollywood.

A Serious Man was my favourite from that year, it's one of the Coen bros' best. I would've been cool with Precious or Inglourious Basterds winning too.
