Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Seth Rogen.
An unusual pairing of main actors, but it works. I'd recommend it.

Amen. Second best film I've seen this year after Drive. Hopefully Gordon-Levitt gets some award buzz...

I can't stop thinking about Drive. I think I'm re-watching it tonight.

whenever i watch that, i just watch the beginning segment and the final segment, and skip everything in between

I enjoyed that movie, but it wasn't very accurate. I was going into EOD at one point, and it's a lot less dramatic than 'red-wire-blue-wire'. You just blow the enemy explosives up with your own in a "controlled detonation."

Haha I saw it in theaters on a Wednesday night and every time I got blackout drunk that weekend I either facebook or tweeted about it. I even rewatched it whilst drunk two nights later...

Gladiator. An excellent exercise in violence and machismo wankery, would watch again.

Also, Crowe got Best Actor? The ****? And Phoenix didn't get best supporting actor? More the ****?

It was 2000, who else would it have gone to, Tom Cruise for Mission Impossible II?

Is that a shot at Tom Cruise? You try tackling somebody head-on after jumping off a motorcycle.

It was a shot at the year 2000, which was a pretty abysmal year for movies. Tom Cruise really needs no help in taking pot shots at, in fact his name is usually sufficient.

^^still doesn't stop me anticipating Ghost Protocol
