Camille Zebub One of my top 20 movies for sure.The characters are what make this movie. And the touch or surrealism. The premise is that four coworkers make a bet that whoever is the last to remain inside wins a month's salary. Until then they live their entire lives inside this bubble.One of my favorite props is that even the smokers can live their entire existence indoors; they smoke in these little tubes inside the building.Some of the characters are a kleptomaniac boss, a suicidal cubicle slave, a directionless young office worker, and the initiator of the bet, who had succeeded living indoors for something like a year.
Surrealplaces Much better than expected! I wasn't expecting this movie to be anything special, in fact I really didn't know much about it, other than the fact that it was filmed in my hometown of Calgary. That's really the reason I watched it in the first place, you know...just to see if you recognize anything or anybody. I actually found this movie to be quite entertaining, and was glad to have seen it. It's a unique movie, that has some pretty funny parts in it. There isn't much in the way of scenery, and I'm sure the budget wasn't very big either, but they did well with what they had. This is a movie that I had recommended to others.
ljison I enjoyed this well-cast, off-the-beaten-path film. It is certainly more of a 'chuckler' than a laugh-out-loud film. I'd describe it as sort of a cross between Office Space and Clerks, but it's still quite original, complete with it's own cast of misfits and one superhero.
thisisthestart Wow. I heard so much about this film that when I saw it I was nothing short of shocked. This movie is so pretentious, unfunny and smug that I could barely sit through it. If Canadian films are going to get a push for people to see them - make sure they're worth pushing.
