So Jesse Eisenberg is the new Lex Luthor in the upcoming Batman vs superman. Isn't he a bit young?

Wonder if he will act like Jesse Eisenberg usually does lol.

You mean acting like Michael Cera? lol.

Haha yeah, Cera plays Cera, Eisenberg plays Eisenberg.

"So I've got a role for you, it involves being a witty, arrogant little prick..."

Haha. Have you seen Now You See Me? Fuck! So much witty arrogant little prickishness. Film was bullshit too.

Haha yeah, I watched that not too long ago actually. Mark Ruffalo was very Mark Ruffalo.

Jesse Eisenberg is the first name that comes to mind when you think "who played that arrogant twat in so and so film?" It may not even be him, but you'll think it is. What a Simon Amstell.

I'm pretty sure the two of them don't know how to do anything but "be themselves" while acting. Eisenberg is always a dick and Ruffalo is always high.

Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner as Dylan Rhodes: "That's my secret, Horsemen; I'm always angry.
Mark Ruffalo as Dylan Rhodes as Bruce Banner: "That's my secret, Cap; I'm a master street magician.
Mark Ruffalo as Mark Ruffalo: "That's my secret, America; I'm stoned as fuck.

Also, in response to the thread topic, I'll list a few of my favorites as well as a short explanation as to why I like the movie (without giving away plots).

This list includes movies of many genres, from kid//family movies to intense thrillers.

• The Truman Show - this Jim Carrey film is great. An interesting concept that pulls you along with it.
• Bicentennial Man - This is a great Robin Williams film. A great combination of sic-fi, comedy, romance, and story telling. Watch this with a girl you're trying to impress. She'll likely never have seen it and will be in tears by the end, giving you an easy ticket to her heart (or pants).
• A Clockwork Orange - This film is a classic. I you have read the book and enjoyed it, this one will be perfect for you. A dark and cunning film that is sure to tickle your brain. Not recommended for squeamish/sensitive people or children.
• Face Off - This is a pretty shitty film featuring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. While it could be an interesting concept for an action film, it's Cage and Travolta, so yeah. Even though this is not a comedy by any means, I can't help but laugh my ass off while watching it.
• How to Train Your Dragon - This is a great film for the family, and can easily be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.
• The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - I can't really explain this one. Hieronymus Carl Friedrich Baron von Münchhausen was a German nobleman who fought for the Russian military in the 1700s. When he returned home, he was known for telling ridiculously exaggerated tales about his adventures. This movie is based off those stories. It's a bit absurd. That said, I always enjoy watching it.
• Bio-Dome - This is a really fun and stupid film. It's really dumb. Like, really. It's dumb. Put this movie on while you've got a bunch of friends over for drinks, smoking, etc.

That's all for now. I may post more later. Enjoy

Ah yes, of those you have listed I have only seen The Truman Show and A Clockwork Orange. Truman is very thought-provoking, and there are moments in life sometimes where you wonder if something like that actually exists.

Seen ACO many times now, always a good watch - stands the test of time too.

Can anyone recommend a good sc-fi -  not widely known but still good?

Sunshine is worth a watch if you haven't already seen it.

Shutter Island
The good, the bad and the ugly  I love them both.

Really? Thought it was pretty confusing and nonsensical. Had some cool effects though.

It was a bit strange, but it is rated 7.3 on IMDB which is definitely watchable lol.

Haha it's usually a good indicator of watchability. Never let me down. The Internship had a mediocre score and the film itself was mediocre.

Yeah, so that's when you exercise common sense if you don't want to watch a long, slow film lol.

Moon
Serenity
Red Planet


I've seen Ender's Game few days ago - it was nice but felt like a summary. They wanted to insert as much from the book as possible and it seemed like a slideshow of memories.

Haven't seen the other two, but Moon was decent. Oblivion had a few similarities. Film was so-so though.

I watched Gravity yesterday and it's by far my favourite film of last year. Quite a slow burner though.

I saw Breaking and Entering is on tonight in the UK which was pretty good and quite an overlooked film. I'd watch it again but I'll be watching the superbowl. http://www.radiotimes.com/film/cd5s8/breaking-and-entering

I need to see Moon, it has been on a mental note to watch for a while now, but when I come to watching films I seemingly forget that one.

Heard good things about it. 8.0 on IMDB so definitely one to watch

The Dyatlov Pass Incident
I think it's way underrated, it's not really scary but it keep you on your toes at all the time. Worth at least an 8 in my opinion.

I don't like movies where people have no common sense. Don't want to spoil the movie for others, but let's say you go on an expedition with friends and find something misterious like hidden bunker. Why the hell would you try to enter alone without telling the rest and with no proper equipment or communication devices.
Same with typical horror or thriller when someone chases you and wants to kill you, there's a struggle, and he falls, you don't run away screaming. You hit him until he passes out or at least take his weapon with you and run.

Horror movies aren't really based in reality. It's the same with haunted house movies. Would you really stay in a house if you're being terrorised by a demon and being thrown against walls and shit?
