Seems that each time i start a thread like this, a number of times we end up closing shop. 
on a serious note, i hope that we can continue where we left off at our numerous forums, and talk about movies. and yes, this particular thread will focus on the delectable european aftertaste. just like caviar and jaeger, this one requires an acquired taste, as well as an open mind.
Movies ive seen of late...
Harry Brown.
Micheal Caine stars as a veteran of the armed forces, taking back what seems to be a broken shell of the english civilization. Movies rarely show the bleak side of Great Britain, in this case similar to This is England, this movie shows how shoddy its sad face and how brutal it can be in the suburbs of Europe.
Without any spoilers, its a great film. Showing how Caine still is an amazing gentleman, and quite frankly one of the few actors who deserve more than enough respect like we give Sir Connery.
Another great movie ive stepped into, is Girl who played with Fire...
The interesting part is that ive watched this via Netflix on my newer slim Ps3.
Sidenote: Godddamn it. i didnt know i didnt need the disc anymore, and ive been watching subpar SD for a good amount of time already. It seems that the preloaded software is amazingly faster than my normal internet speed using the disc.
now a number of y'all know how im not as fond of the series, simply because of two main reasons
1. i didnt read the books
2. er... as wierd as it sounds, im not too fond of sexual content in regards to certain movies. heck i can handle it in asian cinema, but more or less it has to be 'connected' to the storyline, a needed part, something to explain much more of how or why the character is such. its a give in, it was needed here, but i guess i was a bit taken aback in the first movie.
this one was great. i loved it. i do miss the perfectly executed delivery done in the first film, but this one had more... how shall i say it - pacing for the mass market.
Hopefully we'd have more people on board to post their thoughts and recommendations here, as much as we've had in the past.
