The Machinist
 

2 days until this gets released here on DVD. Cant friggin wait! Brad Anderson's last prject, Session 9, is one of my absolute favourite movies, Im really looking forward to this. Bale is also a great actor, and the plot sounds great. Ayone else psyched? How bout those whove seen it, how does it hold up? Im gonna rent it next weekend, I dont care if I should be studying for exams....

Unfortunately I haven't seen it yet but it does sound very good considering Session 9 kicked so much ass. However from some reviews I've read it of it so far its not that good, but hey the critics always make mistakes.

Anyone know if its good?

Any URL's for these reviews of witch you speak? I havnt heared a single negative comment as yet, I would like to read them.

Session 9 was sub-par at best. Wouldent watch it again. But this is a good film which i shall purchase.

sub-par at best ??!!!

to each his own i guess .. but i sure would love to hear your rationale for that ..

The Machinist is the movie that launched Christian Bale from "Damn Good" to "Great", IMO. He threw himself into that role like I've hardly ever seen. Not just the weight loss, either, though that was grotesque and awe-inspiring at the same time. This was the best performance of that year by a pretty substantial margin (that's right, I said it! Hell with Jamie Foxx!) The plot has been done before but is decent, so don't expect a lot there. This movie is 100% Christian Bale.

bloody good film, don't pay attention to trashy critics, they don't know how to review.

what is session 9 i must have overlooked it

psychological/horror (or is it)


great movie...

One of the best movies of the 2000's, highly reccomended. It's about a team of workeres hired to do asbestos removal in an old, abandoned insane asylum [It was filmed/set in the actual Danvers mental hospital in Mass.]. Strange things start to happen...is the past living to repeat itself? Or could there be something much more sinister?

This is an incredible movie. The directing by Brad Anderson is great [Some of the shots of the hospital exterior were beathtaking], and most of the actors wre good aswell. Unlike many movies of the modern-day, it leaves alot for you to figure out on your own, it doesnt come right out and say everyting. You can form theories, there are no concrete answers. This is the main reason I thought it was great.


Wow....I really went on there.....


Anyway, Ive convinced my dad to let me rent The Machinist this weekend if I study for exams at least 30 min. per day. So, thats a pretty good deal, Id say.
