Yeah he's legit. Loved the Crank movies and Transporter. He and Kurt Russell will be the icing on the cake that is Fast 7.

The guardians was a great movie, funny and a good story but seriously have you read the comics ?

Yesterday I saw the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie.
For a "low" budget self made movie it's well done and fun entertainment.
The movie is trashy and cheesy and seems intended especially for "nerds".
You really have to be familiar with AVGN and the "retro video game reviewer scene" and especially E.T. the video game to really enjoy this, if not it's just an average, maybe boring and annoying  (sometimes I felt so while watching) movie with some highlights in it.
Don't get me wrong, I love AVGN and his reviews and I know the hard work he had to made this movie, but in my opinion, since he announced that he makes this movie a few years ago and trough all the extra attention he became, he changed himself and don't seem naturally anymore, he convulsive has to play "The Nerd".
Even his last reviews aren't good than ussual.
But all in all, it's a good movie and worth to watch, even if you give a shit about retro games.

The Rover 7.5/10 - Not sure what the point of the movie was in the end, but damn the journey was pretty great. Kinda similar to The Road and some Mad Max Road Warrior. Very sweaty, very gritty, beautifully shot, violent, Guy Pearce being awesome, there's angry/hilarious midget, there's a random Keri Hilson song, and hey I actually liked Robert Pattinson in it.

I just saw Guardians Of The Galaxy. I wasnt expecting a lot but holy shit it was pretty fucking awesome! My second favorite film of the year along Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. They teased lots of characters, including such a big character as Th....... I wont say the name cause I dont wanna spoil the movie. Great film!

American Movie - ACDC

This movie needs to be viewed at least once a year.

THE GUEST. This was so good, I don't know where to begin. The synthpop music. The main character making panties get drenched throughout. The action. A fight involving a fireball shot. Horror/thriller bits that reminded me of classic 80s and 90s movies. A little Terminator thrown in. Holy shit.

American Movie - ACDC

Yes agreed 100% I find it really funny and inspiring, everyone I've shown it to says it's flat out depressing or just doesn't get the humour.

Given your taste can you recommend any other kind of sundance style films? I've watched some recently:

Sightseers - Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina's led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see - the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life. But it doesn't take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina's meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris's dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him the wrong way, over a very jagged edge.

Primer - At night and on weekends, four men in a suburban garage have built a cottage industry of error-checking devices. But, they know that there is something more. There is some idea, some mechanism, some accidental side effect that is standing between them and a pure leap of innovation. And so, through trial and error they are building the device that is missing most. However, two of these men find the device and immediately realize that it is too valuable to market. The limit of their trust in each other is strained when they are faced with the question, If you always want what you can't have, what do you want when you can have anything?

maps to the stars - The Weiss family is the archetypical Hollywood dynasty: father Stafford is an analyst and coach, who has made a fortune with his self-help manuals; mother Cristina mostly looks after the career of their son Benjie, 13, a child star. One of Stafford's clients, Havana, is an actress who dreams of shooting a remake of the movie that made her mother, Clarice, a star in the 60s. Clarice is dead now and visions of her come to haunt Havana at night... Adding to the toxic mix, Benjie has just come off a rehab program he joined when he was 9 and his sister, Agatha, has recently been released from a sanatorium where she was treated for criminal pyromania and befriended a limo driver Jerome who is also an aspiring actor.

I wouldn't say they're wrong for calling it depressing, it definitely has some bummers, but mostly it's just a fun watch. Mike and Mark are awesome.
I don't really watch a lot of movies though, so you'll have to look elsewhere for recommendations. However, anyone who hasn't seen American Movie should do themselves a favor and check it out.

I'm pissed this movie has not gotten more attention. It was ridiculously good. It manages to be an homage to so many things while also being completely unique.

Totally. I also find it difficult to describe to other people because there's such an original coolness to it, while somehow also drawing from so many different genres. Not really a slasher movie, but I see inspiration from those types of movies from 20 years ago. Maybe 1 or 2 horror scenes. Not really an action movie, yet there's some incredible action sequences in there.

You're right, it's a piece of shit (like most everything he did in the last few years), but I think this is exactly what he wanted, a shitty movie.
