Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Dark Knight) writes and directs this odd, claustrophobic neo-noir film about a seedy young Brit (Jeremy Theobald) who's obsessed with following people -- albeit harmlessly at first
Following - 8/10:
Christopher Nolan's first feature length film. It had a $6,000 budget according to imdb(don't read the synopsis there, it gives away way too much). Here is the beginning of the netflix version
The rest of it tells a bit more, but I couldn't read it on my PS3, and I enjoyed knowing less details going in, but I digress.
It's what you can expect from Nolan with a small budget and not many resources. It's an interesting story with a few twists and turns. The acting is surprisingly good for the situation, especially the guy who plays Cobb(sound familiar? though this actor hasn't been in anything else, according to imdb). There is also some great dialogue in here as well.
It's only 70 minutes long, and although Nolan tries to get a little too fancy with the plot, it's worth a watch for sure

Despicable Me - 7.5/10: Boy, maybe I'm mildly retarded, but I found this pretty darn funny and enjoyable. I was actually very bored for the first 5-10 minutes and was seriously considering stopping the thing, but after that it really gained steam and became pretty fun. There were a few parts where I laughed very hard out loud and one in-particular that actually caused me to pause the movie because I was laughing so hard. I'm usually not a big fan of cartoon movies, but this one stays pretty ridiculous like a cartoon should and does not try to go too far into serious stuff. Some good gags and laughs and far, far more fun than I ever would have expected."IT'S SO FLUFFY!!"

Caught this on tv last night and decided to start watching per your review. I probably watched the first 15-20 minutes before going to bed, but I liked it a lot so far. It seems like it's hardly a kids movie, looking forward to watching the rest of it, maybe tonight.
Well I hope you like it so I feel a little bit less of an idiot.

Did you watch a few scenes after/during credits? I liked the movie too.. enjoyed it a lot.. plain goofy fun.
HARRY POTTER (199X to 2011) - 5/10:
i beleive this series is summed up by 2 phrases:
1) You're a wizard, Harry
2)Snape kills Dumbledore
some ocascional thrills, but too many dull insipid boring uninspiring moments
5/10
