I saw Tropical Malady after someone else put it on their 2004 best of list.  It wasn't on my 2004 best of list.
Raven haired Linda and her school mate Linnea are studying after school, when their desires take over and they kiss and strip off their clothes. They take turns fingering and licking one another's trimmed pussies on the desks, then fuck each other to intense orgasms with colorful vibrators.

it's playing in my city this week.  I'm pretty stoked.  I just asked out this pretty girl whom I'd only met once who is a herzog fan.  maybe God and Herzog will smile on me and trick her into saying yes.  and then my life will have meaning.  everyone on this board shoot a prayer my way.

I saw this a few months ago and it's pretty good. As a standard POW-escape movie, it's totally satisfying - even sort of fun, at times - but then two third of the way through, it gets all Herzog on us. You know, jungles and shit. Good stuff.

I don't know if I'd say the film "gets all Herzog on us" with the jungles and everything.  If this had come from some other filmmaker I might have liked it, but Herzog could have given us a better film.  My problem with the film is that it indeed is satisfying as a standard POW-escape movie, but nothing more.

The film is almost exclusively about the escape.  There's little of the prisoners' interaction with the guards, little about the prisoners relating.  When Dieter finally gets out of the camp the scenes are quite gripping, but I still felt the film was disappointingly one-dimensional.  Rent Little Dieter Needs to Fly instead.

i'm a little disappointed in this. it's fine for a standard war/pow movie, but i was expecting more from herzog...a guy who has always done an amazing job of getting into the head of his protagonist. this is almost entirely about the logistics of the escape, and you really don't get much about bale's character.

Bale is such an underrated actor.

I think Matt means a comment like that needs an explanation to stand on.

I liked how straight-forward this film was; just a compelling story expertly told. Much like Apollo 13.

Steve Zahn was really fantastic in this. But it does annoy me to keep seeing Jeremy Davies doing the same thing in films. After seeing Spanking the Monkey, I realised that that he doesn't actually talk like that.

Loved it. Christian Bale steals the show even though his co-stars are as good as him. The best scene was the where they sang happy birthday for Bale's character in the captive hut. Such a bizarre yet moving scene with Bale delivering a great performance.

I know he ate the maggots in one scene. But if he really ate that snake then he's definitely mad.
