Has anyone had a chance to see Moonrise Kingdom? It's my favourite film of the year so far, I thoroughly recommend it.
I'm looking forward to it. Someone else on this thread loved it as well, forgot who.
EDIT: Also, welcome to TSR and the Film Fanatics Society Thread!
Anyway, I watched Another Earth the other day, and have to say I was pretty disappointed. Yeah, it's artsy sci-fi, like Moon, but it's pretty mediocre artsy sci-fi. I really wanted it to be good because the central idea seemed so interesting, but it just isn't very well-directed. It's trailer was fantastic too, which is why I was really looking forward to it. Ah well. It's got quite a nice ending, though, which cheered me up slightly.
I enjoyed Another Earth more than most but I would say that the ideas behind it are more interesting than the finished product. Brit Marling gave a pretty good performance, her facial expressions really gave an insight into the character.

Talking of Tarantino, I watched Kill Bill last night for the first time - what a silly film
Seemed like the kind of film you think is great when you're about 14, but you see it again years later and think its just about as immature as you were the first time you saw it. Don't think I'll bother with the sequel.
How did that woman survive at the end with a severed arm? It made no sense

It is quite true that recently, after Jackie Brown, he has lost his way, particularly true with Kill Bill. He regained it a bit with Inglourious Basterds (except the opening scene, best opening scene ever?), but that is nowhere near his first three films. So, here's to hoping Django Unchained will be a return to form!
Tarantino writes some of the best dialogue ever filmed but his self-indulgence knows no bounds and quite often, rather than paying homage, it feels as if he's ripping off.
I'm hoping there is a director's cut for Prometheus. One of the main things that soured for me was the lack of character development and interaction between the crew members on the ship. Everything else was mostly fine...mostly.
