    Over-ratede: The Dark Knight.
    Under-rated: Zombieland.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Most Overrated & Underrated films ?

    Overrated:
    Scott Pilgrim - good soundtrack, good concept, but I just didn't care about the characters
    Source Code - good idea, drawn out too much, not enough drama to some of the key plot points near the end - again didn't make me care enough
    Inception - good idea but nowhere near as deep as everyone made out, the original Matrix was the same for me
    Kill List - what utter utter drivel - everything about it was utter tosh, the shots, the editing, the violence, the sound, the plot........ you get the idea

    Underrated:
    A Lonely Place to Die - IMO the BEST British film of last year - superb, can't believe everyone raved about Kill List at the festivals and completely overlooked this !
    A Scanner Darkly - a cartoon version of a Phillip K Dick* book with Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Woody Harleson and Robert Downey Jr
    The Jacket - Adrien Brody and Kiera Knightly - an indie director given a Hollywood budget, this will TOTALLY change your view of miss Knightly as an actress, she fought to get the part with the Director threatening to pull the film if she was in it, but she convinced him saying she didn't want to be stuck wearing corsets in period dramas her whole career
    Animal Kingdom - dubbed the Australian Good Fellas it was one of my favourites from last year, this and The Square really show why Australian film makers are the ones to watch, can't wait for Snowtown to be released later this month
    Never Let Me Go - based on the Kazuo Ishiguro novel of the same name, another one with Kiera Knightly (who I can't stand in big budget stuff at all) but she is totally eclipsed by the stunning performances from Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan - a deeply moving story, but also some very very clever cinematography with the sets and styling if you look closer, and a wonderful colour grade

    *Other films based on Phillip K Dick books include: Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, and The Adjustment Bureau

    Re: Most Overrated & Underrated films ?

    Overrated - Breathless (or A Bout de Souffle) Supposed to be a must-see foreign film. Boring tosh, not helped by the fact the lead male is n ugly warthog. No way could he pull Jean Seberg.

    Underrated: The Shawshank Redemption. Not that it is now, but cinema box office was tiny...

    Re: Most Overrated & Underrated films ?

    Underrated: Fifth Element - I think this is a very underrated scifi film, Gary Oldman stealing the show a tad though. Great British actor yet still no oscar?! and Colin Firth gets one?!

    Overrated: Blade Runner - I was very excited to see this when I was about 14/15 but actually found it rather boring.

    Blade Runner is on my reserve list before I die along with the Godfather trilogy which Ive never seen , I found it also boring ( BR ) but was too young to prob appreciate it.

    For me The Godfather got better as I got older.

    Over-rated: blade runner (and yet I'm a scifi nut and love Ridley Scott).
    Under-rated: dead mans shoes

    Heres a very underrated martial arts film - ( according to sites I read)

    the whole things online - though Im not really an MA fan .

    Overrated - The last Harry Potter film IMO , it was a bit of anti climax altogether ( esp the deaths of key characters )

    Underated - Scott Pilgrim - quite frankly one of the best comic book (and part video game) movies ever made. I wasn't even on my radar when i watched it BUT i was blown away.

    Overated - Scream - i mean how that got quality reviews and a number of sequels is still beyond me to this day.
