I saw it a week ago. I thought it was really good -- not the best movie I've seen in years, though. I would definitely agree with you, though, about Meryl Streep. That woman is an absolute genius when it comes to acting. I can't imagine Julia Child playing Julie Child any more convincingly.

District 9 was excellent. Anyone who enjoys SF should go and watch.
Seconded. Surprisingly well done.
Watched Dead Man's Shoes and This is England last night. I'd seen This is England before but not Dead Man's Shoes- both are absolutely brilliant, but Stephen Graham just owns This is'.

I had to watch Akira again, because of Nepenthe. I don't care, it's an astounding movie. Just as good as the first three times I watched it.
For those who have not yet had the immense pleasure of watching it, I won't tell you the plot of the movie, except to say that it is about the nature and use of power in it's varied forms, centred on a young motorcycle gang member, Tetsuo, who gets picked up by the military police for psychic testing, as it seems that Tetsuo is quite a gifted individual. It's about this point that this movie goes nuts. But in an extremely enjoyable way.
It's a brilliant movie - well-animated, excellent ideas, and the action scenes and special effects are stunning. I have my doubts as to whether all of this could occur in the live-action movie adaptation apparently coming out in a few years, but I would like to be proven wrong.
Damn, I even love the music, and there are few movies where I actually care about the musical score enough to even mention it, let alone have segments continually chanting in my brain just to remind me how much I loved the movie.
Daaaaaan!
Daaaaaan!
Dan-Dan!

"Reefer Madness" aka "Tell Your Children"
"The motion picture you are about to witness may startle you. It would not have been possible, otherwise, to sufficently emphasize the frightful toll of the new drug menace which is destroying the youth of America in alarmingly increasing numbers. Marihuana is that drug - a violent narcotic - an unspeakable scourge - The Real Public Enemy Number One!"

You have to see this with the Michael Nelson (MST3K) commentary.

Why would I want to heard MST3K make fun of the movie? It is a sobering warning to parents to be vigilant against the scourge of marihuana.
If you don't stop your children from using marihuana, they might start laughing uncontrollably while reading Shakespeare, running people down in motorcars, killing their entire family with an axe, sleeping with middle-aged women, or worse, dancing to jazz music.

I assume by fun you mean learned a great deal about the dangers of the REEFER.
Everyone should watch this movie, except rojse
YouTube - Reefer Madness (1936)

What do you mean, I shouldn't watch it? Is it because I see it as a stunning and convincingly-portrayed movie about the dangers of marihuana and jazz music?
