If you want silly, crude humor go see the "To Do List" I especially liked the role reversal.
If someone invites you to go see Elisium I would forgive you if you shoot them. Holy crap is it bad. Matt Damon never was a great actor but damn he is about as animated as Michelangelo's David in this movie. And the Plot is just stupid......
"The Way, Way Back" is easily one of the best movies I have seen this year. Funny and moving at the same time and Kudos to Steve Carell for stepping outside his box of playing the buffoon.

I've just finished watching an Austrian movie that was recommended by a friend who shares my taste in movies. It's called 'Paradies: liebe'' ( Paradise: love). The fact it was selected for Cannes film festival and the plot summary I've read on imdb sounded promising: 'On the beaches of Kenya they're known as "Sugar Mamas" -- European women who seek out African boys selling love to earn a living. Teresa, a 50-year-old Austrian and mother of a daughter entering puberty, travels to this vacation paradise. She goes from one Beach Boy to the next, from one disappointment to the next and finally she must recognize: On the beaches of Kenya love is a business''.
It's a good movie but I confess some of the scenes were shocking for me. Anyway I don't think anybody on this forum would like it.

My advise to everyone who was going to bother watching World War Z with Brad Pitt...total waste of time

I REALLY want to see Rush. I just hope that it comes closer to Grand Prix or Winning than Driven (I've never liked Silly Stallone... and that horrible movie just cemented the feeling). The F1 fraternity seems to be praising Rush. So I expect it to be very good. Plus, Ron Howard is one heck of a director.

For some reason the latest movies I've seen are remakes. Red Dawn, Totall Recall and Fright Night. All total waste of time and money. I really don't know why they make them, espeacially if the original one wasn't much of a success. I liked all of them as originals, allthou I have to admit that memories grow sweeter with time but they are still better than these remakes. And no, I didn't seen them in a theather. They were at tv.

I saw a pretty hilarious movie (originally a tv-series) a couple of days ago. Extremely low budget but still very good.
Its called "Förmannen som försvann" and is featuring Svenne Rubins, Gösta Engström, Björn Skifs as well as many other well known Swedish profiles in smaller roles....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

Haven't seen a Swedish movie since last century....
And even those were oldies by Ingmar Bergman, Bo Widerberg and an ancient screen version of Hon dansade en sommar.
M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
