If you have not seen "Saving Mr. Banks", do. Gives a whole new meaning to "Mary Poppins". Tom Hanks was fabulous. As was Emma Thompson. The other supporting cast did a nice job too.

The right order is IV, V, I, II, III, VI.
Or the Machete Order: IV, V, II, III, VI.

Oldman said:Saw Wolf of Wall Street last night...til this morning. Totally unprepared for a 3 hour ego piece by Scorcese's adopted son.
There was much well appreciated nudity to break up the pacing, however.
Tricycle Rider said:Dude, I'm assuming you paid full price for your movie ticket. How much is it up there yonder in WA State nowadays?
Down here in Eugene it's at least $8.50, $6.50 for a matinee.
(I remember the days when a matinee used to be $2.25...)
search said:over here in Europe the regular price for a three hour movie is something like 15 (2D) to 20$ (3D)
BigMac said:Where do you live? I pay 4.50€ for a movie (2d), 8€ max for 3d (with glasses).
search said:Germany. I just had a look, if I would watch the Wolf of Wall Street tomorrow evening the local Cinemaxx would charge me 12.50 EUR.
there are discounts on weekdays and for students of course, but that's the regular price
BigMac said:Can someone do or find me a neutral review on The Tree of Life please? The ones I find are either atheist hatred or the opposite. Thanks in advance.
Roude Leiw said:Did you take a look at imdb.com or rotten tomatoes ? There a loads of critics there.
BigMac said:Just signed up to the website. Seems lots of fun.
My username is ricardonovesete.
Hugo87 said:Awesome, you will not regret it
Looking forward to see your "checks".
I'm going to add you, my nickname is the usual one... Hugo87
BigMac said:Almost 1k checks mate! That's just insane.
Thanks for adding me and will have a nice time going through your checks.
BigMac said:I recomend those of you who have not already to watch Baraka and Koyaanisqatsi. Won't risk describing it, just witness these marvelous cinematographic and philosophic pieces by yourself. You won't regret it.
I recomend watching it using a home theater but if you can't, Baraka it on youtube with pretty good quality.

Hugo87 said:Nah... But I'm a cinephile, thank you.
I just check movies that I watched from the beginning till the end and I have rated at IMDB, that's my personal rules. When I don't remember the full movie or I don't have it rated, I can't check it.
My guess you will become probably addicted to this website and try to stack some awards/prizes.

Bit late I guess the Little White Lies review of Tree of Life sums it up quite eloquently.

Also, I watched The Double yesterday and thought it was pretty great.
