I saw the film ages ago at t' London Film Fest and I liked it. I wasn't blown away but I liked it. I think the best thing about it is Dillon's performace.
Whilst he may not give an 'accurate' portrayal of Bukowski/Chinaski as some people have complained I still think he does a good job at conveying a good amount of the character's traits and is a likeably 3 dimensional protagonist.
I think also the problem with doing a movie based on any Bukowski is that his prose/poetry is so great that you have to find a different and interesting way of translating that to screen somehow as you can't just have someone read it out or stick it as a subtitle for 90 odd minutes.

The movie's definitely worth seeing.

As for Born Into This I really want to see this as it looks very decent. Although I could probably do without that goonie Bono providing his insights.
