OK, maybe there are a few more. There also is Guy Maddins brilliantly demented Canadian take on the Heimat genre, complete with paper-mache Alps and eye gouging cuckoo clocks, Careful:

Kevin Smith deserves slaps for a few films, but not for that one. He never made a film called Bindlestiffs.

It's not easy having a good time
huh your right, the picture is somewhat misleading though. so what was Smiths involvement...
Am watching Tony. Dalston looks suitably realProbably shouldn't have paused to make a sandwich and then come back at the point where he's doing his chores the morning after the night at the Joiner's Arms
Just watched that a couple of hours ago. Not bad. The job centre guy shoulda got it though.

always beware of the 'presents' credit.

It means that he didn't have anything to do with the films making, only with its distribution.

Gottit. I'm still intent on slapping the fucker for 'presenting' this crap.

Did you like it? One of my favourite films, that. The guy who plays the Soviet watcher had a similar thing happen to him when he was a young man in East Germany; flat being bugged, being watched etc, crazy stuff.

Yes I love it, one of my favourites too. It's a shame the actor playing the stasi officer died shortly after it won the Oscar

I didn't realise that, that's a right shame.

It would have been far far far far far better if they had just left out the monster man bollocks. A simple mental case sabotaging the project would have been enough. It's a nicely atmospheric film that is ruined by ball bag chase camera work and nonsence story tacked on at the end

I watched Evangelion 2.22 (Why 2.22)
Seen it before, but this was the first time with subs so was a little clearer. Someone I thought died, didn't, kind of ruined the impact of the scene.
Pretty good, but I am either over all the evangelion stuff now (20 years of it is about long enough). Watching the mysteries of the series unfold was fun but here you already know most of those mysteries and they don't even really manage a gasp from the characters in the film, it all seems rather flat. The fighting is cool but the emotion is in fast forward.
Shinji is still annoying but not to the level he was in the series.
I also like the new girl.

I didn't see him as a monster, I think maybe the crew of Icarus II did in a way. That camera-work gave it a claustrophobic (Alien?) feel in the final third. It's far from a great film but it is very good. I like Danny Boyle's work.

I didn't find it claustrophobic, just frustrating.
The ship was first shown as spacious and atmospheric, to then suddenly be presented with the inside of the ship in fast wobbly close ups didn't quite sit well for me.
I would have loved it to carry on at the same pace, it was an interesting scenario that didn't need an fourth rate alienesque fight and chase.

Both Sunshine and 28 Days Later are Danny Boyle films which suffer from a weak, generic last act which almost ruin the films. I even think the concept of the extra crew member could have worked, Boyle just handles it so poorly, it almost feels like he's lost interest in the film at that point.

I'm sure someone will be along in a second to tell you why you shouldn't have.
Just watched The Town - Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Pete Postlethwaite (minor role, really) and directed by Affleck. Good story, well acted, nicely paced...a bit too long though.

The Last Exorcism: Any exorcism movie is always going to be compared unfavourably to the exorcism movie and that's very much the case here. Still, it's quite creepy in places and the actress playing Nell is superb. I've really had enough of 'found footage' movies now though.
