Re: Buried (2010, Rodrigo Cortés)
I saw this tonight, definitely way better than you would expect a movie taking place almost entirely in a coffin to be. I really liked the ending and definitely wasn't what I expected. I am not really easy to freak out but by the end even I was starting to get claustrophobic and freaked out.

So much for "In Theatres Everywhere October 8th" .... I looked it up several times, the closest theatre it's showing near me is New York, which is 2 hours away.

Here's a message to the studios: Don't promise something you can follow through with. It's annoying, and it makes you look bad in the process.
The real worse part of both this movie and Flipped is that both were terrific movies that deserved audiences.

Yeah, WHAT happened with this film!? I saw trailers for it for about a month. Before high and low profile films. And I just noticed it opened in one theater in the D.C. area last week. And this week it has only one daily showtime at that theater. Just like someone else mentioned, this and "Flipped" have to be two of the most buzzed about films that didn't get a wide release. So odd.

Lionsgate is rolling it out in more theaters this upcoming weekend, but based upon disappointing PSAs, I'm expecting this won't play in more than 150-200 locations tops at this point. Lionsgate should've just put this in anywhere from 700-1500 theaters from the get-go (giving it more of a significant and wider release) than just trying a platform release, having it backfire, and just dropping all initiative for the film.

The wife and I caught this the other night. I'm not particularly claustrophobic, but this movie definitely sparked something in me, as I was tense throughout. Good stuff.

Loved the movie, found it very engaging and suspenseful, but I feel like they fumbled the whole thing in the last couple of minutes:
Very good movie, but the above prevented it from leaping into the excellent catagory.

Just watched this tonight and damn was it good. Super tense throughout and I totally dug the ending. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen from last year.

Got it from Netflix this week and.....wow! What a terrific thriller. I cannot believe how badly the studio fucked up it's theatrical release. Shame on you. Someone needs to be fired for dropping the ball.

I got this from Netflix and also echo the positive comments. Very intense movie and a great ending. The movie is 90 minutes but stays consistently entertaining throughout. Tough to do given the premise. The BD was cheap to begin with at a list price of $29.99, and I can see this title dropping below $15 sooner than later. I may pick it up.

Re: Buried (2010, Rodrigo Cortés)
Finally saw this and enjoyed it, especially the ending, but I did have some issues with it. I found it to be one of those movies where I continuously wanted to yell at the character to stop doing stupid stuff. His overuse of the lighter and cellphone was particularly annoying.

Just got done watching this, I had been meaning to check it out for some time and I was impressed. Wasn't sure how well it would work, but I found it engaging throughout, and I thought Reynolds was great.
I especially liked the few comedic lines that were thrown in there, that were done in the sarcastic Reynolds style. It helped to ease some of the tension. Definitely worthwhile viewing!
