It was pretty good. The ending was sort of rushed, abrupt, but the acting was out of this world. Really sucked you in, like vacuum.

I have been wondering I that movie is worth it - I will check it out.

I also want to see Uknown with Liam Nieson - dude makes good thriller revenge flicks.

Really looking forward to this. Looks basically like the Bourne movies, but I loved watching Liam Neeson kick ass in Taken.

Tetro by Francis Ford Coppola. Dude makes a quality flick. Interesting movie and well done. Not going to be everyones cup of tea.

I iiked. I give it 3.5 stars. Granted Nalod don't hand out 5 stars often.

I think I remember seeing a preview for Tetro and it looked interesting - what was that one about again?

It's worth it. It was very funny at times, but not in that laugh-track type of way. Really low key film but it packs one hell of a punch.

I don't know about Unknown, is that the one where his daughter is kidnapped? If that's the one, it's predictable and boring. Garbage.

Go to the "Tetro" website. Still exists. Very good story. Coppala makes a good flick!

His best movie in years. George Lucas said he was going to go back to making smaller films like Coppolla but instead is trying to find ways to squeeze every last dime out of Star Wars as he can.

i will be pissed if it doesn't win best picture. Loved "True Grit"... but "Speech" was an unbelievable script, acting... just everything. Definitely see it

Really? It was a nice period piece that was well cast, but I didn't really get into the story. My Oscar favorites are now the Fighter and Social Network. Still need to see True Grit to round it all out.

Saw "The Fighter" too--loved that one.

I got toally into it. [SPOILER ALERT]the whole idea of a stammering King delivering a speech after England enters WWII totally gripped me. He has no legislative powers. Just supposed to be the voice of the people.[/SPOILER ALERT] Sucha simple plot that was pumped full of drama

My reference disc has always been a dvd copy of the submarine movie U-571 which has some amazing depth charge scenes. Got a used Blue Ray and the sound is certainly upgraded but the resolution is almost too high. You can now see more detail of the sub and the movie prop lie set design. Now I have seen parts of this movie often and am looking for things but there is almost too much detail.

I also bought a used copy of Avatar which is cool but what is really blowing me away is the concert footage from both "return to forever" and "porcupine tree". The sound and picture of these concerts are crazy.

I own very few discs but do enjoy Netflix service for years now. Streaming is certainly the future but the there will be bandwith limits still for few years to match the bluRay quality.

Saw Tetro over the weekend on Netflix - solid movie. I like the whole feel of the film production and the fact that it is like a foreign film. The plot was a little obvious and it was slow sometimes but I enjoyed it.

Good analogy. There was some real symbolism and abstract in particular the "movie critic". It held me. The Kid was certainly a Leonardi DiCaprio look alike but did a great job Was his first movie and he is studying at NYU now. Nice bit to be on a resume'! Vincent Gallo is an interesting actor with a varied background.

I thought Gallo was excellent, haven't seen a movie with him before - always knew who he was but I think he has a lot of talent. Not so much Hollywood movie star talent but kind of like you put it: interesting actor who can do a lot of different stuff - I like those kinds of actors.
