Growing up in the midwest i relate to the tornado paranoia and the very unsettling and powerless feeling of watching a storm approach over the prairie.What the hell, man. The minute I saw the title of your thread I was about to post about the very same movie. You took the fun out of it!Jokes aside, what a good film. Like a Shyamalan movie, but actually clever and profound. Michael Shannon is just an amazing actor, easily one of the best around at the moment.

Yeah, yeah, it's getting a lot of award season buzz but I really liked The Descendants.

'The Guard' with Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle.

If you like watching a brainy Keira Knightly getting voluntarily flogged then "A Dangerous Method" is for you.

I definitely enjoyed it. "We Need to Talk About Kevin" is also a fabulous film I have seen recently. No flogging though.

@gaetano: You see him in "Boardwalk Empire" and "My Son My Son, What Have Ye Done?"Good lord!! The dude plays creepy better than anyone i've ever seen.

I thought it was really good, although i'd rather see the Artist or Tree of Life (fat chance) win Best Picture. Can't believe "Drive" wasn't nominated.
