Although Troll Hunter is by no means amazing, it will undoubtedly be considered to be much worse than it deserves, outside of Norway, as so much of its humor is satirical of Norwegian politics and mannerisms.

Great list though. It\’s almost as it was written especially for me. I found a whole bunch of new films to look forward and would like to invite you to take a look at my own blog http://www.cultcinema.net for more of the same. =)

What a joke. J.J. Abrams surpasses the most creative indie fare anyway… the cream usually does rise to the top.

Are you seriously saying Hollywood is the top?

Turns out Nolan himself admits to not having seen it, instead saying he\’s just seen all the movies that ripped off of it and ripped off of them for Inception. Original cinema doesn\’t get much more derivative than that (nor much more complacent).
