What was it about and what did you think about it?

Great film, Alex Garland is slowly becoming one of my favorite screenwriters.

Lost in Translation

I don't watch many films, but I'm surprised this never really caught my attention until a few days ago. Utterly stunning visually, charming dialogue, Bill f*cking Murray, Scarlett f*cking Johansson (that opening shot), beautiful music and an all round fantastic film. Loved it.

You really thought that the film was well written?
I thought it had great potential, they managed to show the sun in all its awe inspiring glory, but the stupidity of the premise and the fact that the movie deteriorated

towards the end pretty much killed it for me.

The Sun is about to shut down and they'll save the world.

Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks do it again, this time in the shape of a brilliant spy tale and period piece. The commie who plays Abel I must admit deserves an Oscar for supporting actor, not sure if he's nominated and I'm too lazy to look. Tom Hanks does a serviceable job, naturally. Spielberg hasn't felt so Spielberg-ian in a long time, it's wonderful. 3.5/5

Anomalisa kinda floored me. At first I thought that the world this man lives in is full of only men and trans-women, but it gets much more absurd than that. Very lovely, this film. Don't mistake this as typical animated PG fodder, cause mature it very much is. 4.5/5

I always appreciate a film where investigative journalists go through the arduous process of coming to a conclusion. Unfolding such systemic corruption at a pace that isn't too far off from actual journalists. Sounds boring but I was sucked in the entire time. And the ending, holy cow I held back tears. 4/5

No matter what you know about the credit default swap market, or subprime loans that are impossible to pay, or whether hedge-fund managers gobbledygooked the collateralized debt obligations, it's still pretty fucking entertaining. 4/5

Jesus, this is a discussion board, not facebook.

I think it's a great movie.

THX 1138 (2004 Director's Cut). Had a copy for years but never made the time to watch it.

I'm picking up a Laserdisc rip of the original version as well.

I'm assuming yes, but I know you've got good thoughts, share em mate.
