OT: Recommended Movies

I have to recommend the movie RETURNER as it is a rather good foriegn film that I think many of you would enjoy.

It does have sub titles, but they are quick to read and the movie seems to carry the action well enought that you read them almost instantly.

I liked the movie as it was an interesting twist on the time travel problem. Very interesting almost like a good video game.

I recommend it.

If you like Quentin Tarantino, I recommend Kill Bill and it's sequel which comes soon in theatres (at least in Finland sequel premiere is 20th february).

Oh, here is also a link for Returner

I just placed Returner in my Netflix que. I should have it later this week. I will post my review but I already like the plot. Thanks for the movie recommendation.

What;s it about Atrocoties ?

What do other people think about subtitles. Never bothers me to have them. In fact I'd much rather have them than dubbed voices which I really hate. I find with subtitles after a min or 2 I forget that I am even reading them.

Although I'm a fast reader, I'd rather not read while I'm trying to watch a movie. I've watched enough Godzilla movies that the dubbing really doesn't bother me.

I for one, am really happy that most programs/movies in the Netherlands use subtitles. My english is good enough to ignore the Dutch subtitles, so that allows me to watch the movie with the original voices. Also when your English is not that good yet subtitling provides a good way to learn English.

We can receive some German channels as well in the Netherlands, and over there they use dubbed voices for everything.. I just can't get used to it. Hearing famous actors suddenly speak German in a voice that sounds nothing like the original just makes my skin itch..
