The "Spares" adaptation, based on a book by Micheal Marshall Smith looks good. It's about a facility where people are actually human clones whose only purpose is to provide “spare parts” for their original human counterpar.......................oh.
yes, I realise that the whole clone thing has been done to death, but it's the first thing I though of off the top of my head

Game - Crash is very good. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
** SMALL THE ISLAND SPOILER **
Did anyone else think of the last scene "Is she sucking him off?" It really, really looked like it.

This film was really good I thought.
Reminded me of Logan's Run at the beggining.

Oh and Scarlett is sooooooooooo hot! I actually feel really jealous of Ewan for getting the chance to kiss, those beautiful lips of her's.

Was that a haiku?

Just seen it. Very good film I thought.
yeah the whole cloning sci-fi conspiracy genre is looking a little worse for wear now but Bay's done a good job of producing something slightly original whilst upkeeping his usual levels of adrenaline pumping action sequences.
It reminded me in places of so many diffreenret films though and that was the only real dissapointment. Whilst containing alot of good theories and ideas everything seemed to remind me of something I had seen before. I,Robot, Equilibrium, The Truman Show, A.I, Minority report, Star Wars: Attack of the clones and of course the highway car chase was almost identicle to the Bad boys 2 scene. Bay simply replaced the show cars with giant weights and switiched the heroes and villains around.
Overall though not a bad film at all. As someone else said Buscemi and Beam play magnificent roles and my own personal opinion is that Mcgreggor pulls his character off well too. I'd give it an 8/10 and considering the current lack of decent movies on would highly reccomend it... (Thats if you havn't already seen Batman and war of the worlds)

I'd hardly say there's a lack of decent films this year. Lack of great films, perhaps. The only ones that really stick out in 8 months are Sin City, Batman Begins and Crash.
I enjoyed it, yeah. Better than most Bay films. Scratch that, better than every Bay fiml. Popcorn fun.
Although I haven't seen product placement that bad since I,Robot. See Ewan run from the evil cloners in his PUMAS, but not before losing to Scarlett at XBOX LIVE, then finding his real life mate using MSN SEARCH booths and NOKIA phones, then getting involved in a CADILLAC chase.
It's the XBox Live bit that bothers me most. Oh, the world's all contaminated so that sod-all survives - except Microsoft, that continue their pioneer work into fighting simulations.
'Whats an XBox, evil Bean?'
'Silence, clone.'

I saw it yesterday and enjoyed it. It's nothing taxing, especially seeing as you figure out the whole twist about 5 minutes in if you don't know it already, and most of it is just Ewan Macgregor running away from something looking slightly confused and determined. They also forget to explain the defect properly.
My favourite bit is when a chopper crashes into Ewan and Scarlet, explodes in a ball of flames, then they fall 100 or so stories, but survive unscathed. Brilliant stuff.
