I give it 2 thumbs up, but one of them has to be up the ass of a chicken.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405296/

Different style, but hey, it was a independent.
Two big "twists" and I managed to predict one. The other was... a eh, twist.

Out of all movie twists, not as predictible as M. Night Shyamalan's movies, and alot funnier. But not quite out of right field as Luke being the son of Vader. Now that was a twist I still don't see coming.

Go check it out. I had to find a independent theater full of liberal hippie bullshit, but the movie was worth it. And it had hot chicks.

I love anything by Philip K Dick (Minority Report, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, etc). This movie was phenomenal in almost every way. Even though I saw it at an old run down cinema near my house, the proffesionalism of the rotoscoping blew me away. Definately a must see, but not for you if you like to turn your brain off while watching a movie.

From what I saw in the trailer, the rotoscoping looked pretty awesome. The plot seemed like one of those Big Brother movies where there is some big government conspiracy, which is kind of a turn off, but it looks pretty decent.

For the Liberal Hippie? Shit, no.
Ask Willie, he in Liberal land of Seattle, there is a difference between a liberal and a hippie. But they both spew bullshit.

No no NO

Independant movie theaters are mostly liberal...have you ever seen independant theaters playing stuff like "Halliburton...The Oil Company that Could" or shows previews involving Ann Coulter vomiting on babies for the good of the nation?
