...just wondering, has anyone ever seen a movie called 'Mr Nobody'? Sounds interesting and the local doesn't stock it.

Nope, never heard of it.

I watched it the other night - LOVED IT! Beautiful movie.
 
Absolutely loved the NZ flick Hunt for the Wilderpeople absolutely perfect viewing for tweens and young teens.
Adults too. Ripping fun adventure & a great family movie. One of the more enjoyable films I have seen for some time.
Sam Neil stars. Check it out.

You'll find it on the shelf next to Mr Tall, Mr Bump, Mr Messy and Mr Grumpy.
 
Watched "Eye in the sky". Didn't really know what it was about prior. A movie about the decisions/process/ethics etc on whether to "bomb" a house where they know terrorists are planning a suicide bombing.

Most of the film focuses on this decision which you'd think would be boring. But it wasn't. Twas excellent.

Good on you spook. Thanks. I'll get it then. Been trying to discover exactly that – movies that are either beautiful to look at a la Wes Anderson flicks or kind of personal like Sofia Coppola’s wonderful little works. If you haven’t seen Donnie Darko – director’s cut is a little more accessible than the theatrical version – check it out. Totally beautiful. Perfect!

Donnie Darko is an old favourite. Mr Nobody is better.

It was interesting, but dragged on too long for me. Also, call me a cynic, but just couldn't buy the level of political and military agonizing over a few innocent bystanders. I reckon in real life they'd be much quicker on the trigger.

Yeah, possibly but I could imagine it this waY where no one wants to make the hard call.

Maybe. I reckon because it was a remote bombing in another country they could get away with that level of hand-wringing for the plot, which was the premise after all. The American spokeswoman was the most realistic IMO (just do it). The tech was interesting too, but also couldn't help feel it would be a lot more glitchy in real life, even if the effect would be the same.
 
The Goosebumps movie: Wow, just having nothing good to say about this. Going in thinking they had a lot of material to work with it was disappointment after disappointment, culminating with hearing Jack Black speak. Ergh... Someone on the casting team thought he could actually a. Act and b. Hold a weird American come Pommy come Indian accent for an entire movie. Well, nope. Try as he might his voice, along with acting, went in and out of character throughout the movie.

Best acting award would be given to... drumroll please... The animated dummy. Second place goes to the 'having issues translating to teenagedom' friend with third place going to Big Foot.

A couple of points I would like to make are: Yes, I have kids and yes I would like those 105 minutes of my life back!

I thought he dropped the terrible English accent!

Anyway, they went for a `Jumunji" style movie and weren't able to pull it off unfortunately.
