This "documentary" is laden in half-truths, unlikely events and ridiculous stupidity. Every single bit of information is either greatly exaggerated or pure speculation. It claims to tell the story of what will happen after our oil reserves run out but is really a sensationalist piece of speculative fiction not in any way based in reality. The only real part of this "documentary" are the statistics about current oil usage. Please, whatever you do, do not watch this. And if you do decide to watch it, please put more thought into it than the - not particularly bright - makers. You did it again National Geographic, you produced another "documentary" entirely based on fiction.

Only God Forgives is not a movie in the traditional Hollywood blockbuster sense. It's also not your usual crime movie. And it most certainly was not made for your average 08/15 American audience. Instead, it's a hypnotic, impressionistic journey full of stunning cinematography that flawlessly fuses a powerful musical score with visual silence. Instead of praising the film to hell and back, let's look at some of the common complaints I hear about it: "It's boring/slow" - well, maybe your patience is just severely lacking. The slow pace is a style of it's own rather than a positive or negative aspect. At times the film reminds of 2001 - also a movie that was slashed by critics for being pretentious and slow upon release. "I can't sympathize with the main character" - why should you? Why would you want to sympathize with a drug-dealing, violent, f-cked up character? Not every movie's goal is making the viewer identify with the characters. Despising the characters is equally valid. "Gosling is an awful actor, he barely does anything" - no. Understated acting can be(and often is) much more powerful than a more in-your-face approach. And it certainly was appropriate in this film. "The plot is too thin" - that is just judging all film by the same standard. This movie has a strong abstract layer to it, telling a story is not the main purpose.

I would rate it a 9/10. However, I have given it 10/10 to improve the IMDb rating slightly. Don't let reviews keep you from watching this film. Watch it, then complain later if you didn't like it.

I had high expectations for a comedy starring Alison Brie and Lizzy Caplan and boy was I let down.

Save the Date is a basic romantic comedy, 2 sisters with different views on relationships, love, sex and marriage. 3 guys. Angst, drama, bad puns and ridiculously predictable plot lines.

Is this a bad film? No. Is it in any way, shape or form worth a recommendation? No. I can't even think of more things to write about the movie because it was such a generic film. If you love one of the actors involved - go on, watch it - but if you want to see a good (romantic) comedy there are a thousand other, better choices.
