It's been done in comics much better - Irredeemable by Mark Waid being one good example, and Powers being an even better one.
I recently watched Almost Famous again, which led me (via some Wikipedia and IMDB browsing) to watch Empire Records and Dazed and Confused, both of which I somehow never watched. Both were entertaining enough, but it's really, really weird watching people like Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey at the very beginning of their careers, and it was somewhat distracting.
Soundtracks were decent, though.
Was fun. You'd need to like stiller but there's plenty of other stuff going on.
Kind of felt like there wasn't anything new here. Even though it's definitely going for an off the wall vibe. Fun characters, I loved the "cutlery" guy
It was my kind of thing really but...well...could have been a bit better.
Indian rags-to-riches drama. I was expecting a slightly humourous ‘how I made myself the man I am today’ tale with some light relief along the way, but this is a seriously dark story which rings true in a quite disturbing manner... perhaps I should have read the book first.
Highly recommended, but not at all an easy watch or the usual Hollywood path to redemption.
9/10

I'm in a relaxed kinda mood, so I'll give it 6/10.

laughable rubbish. One good performance from the young daughter, the rest of the cast were either hamming it up or wooden and cliched.
CGI was ok but a loose grasp on physics.

James Caan and Toby Jones in supporting roles; presumably falling behind on their mortgages that month. Brief appearance of Cissy Strut too ( the instrumental, not a stripper name). Based on a Martin Amis novel. Very nice ending credits song by The Church.
Imagine The Big Bang Theory rewritten as a crime thriller, set in New Orleans and all the jokes taken out.
Actually, I've just googled it and realised I saw the last 10-15 minutes a couple of weeks ago. I'd been sound asleep with a belly full of Chinese takeaway and woke up to see Patricia Clarkson apparently playing a very unlikely cop... I had no idea what was going on. But yes, I remember liking the end credits music.
I vaguely know The Church exist ( existed?) so maybe checking them out is the best thing I can get out of this.
A very low budget film from 2004 about a group of young scientists who, after clocking off at their day jobs, continue working after hours from a garage in the hopes of making something that will earn them some big money.
There seems to be a bit of a rift between the four guys and two continue work on a project without the knowledge of their friends and colleagues. They work on some contraption whose intended purpose is never fully explained, but through which they inadvertently discover a way to travel through time, which of course they use to play the stock market.
The acting is quite awful and the photography very low key - which is actually one of its more appealing factors. The plot seems to have legs but the story telling and character dialogue is too vague to make out what is actually happening. I had to read the plot synopsis on IMDB to fill in the blanks.
The core idea of the film could be really good in the hands of somebody who knows what they're doing, a bunch of decent actors and a budget bigger than what I paid for my last car.
I tried to stick with it but despite its initial promise it became just too tedious to watch.
I'll give it 5/10 simply because I liked the grainy, almost bleached photography which gave it a very different feel and because the idea was worthy of a better attempt.

I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
