On The Inside (2011) Movie Review
by subacati
There have been a few great classic prison movies. This one is! …
The story follows Allen Meneric who, after a crime of passion, is sentenced to a psychiatric prison for observation.
He quickly moves from the maximum section into the minimum section after his initial evaluation.
Just when things start going well, a psychopathic inmate hatches an escape plan. :insane:
I haven't watched as gripping a movie as this for a long time! The pace of the movie is a lot faster than it seems at first. While not nearly as masterful or as epic as The Shawshank Redemption, it is still a powerful and thought provoking film.
While the ending is a little cliché, it's not the cliché I was expecting! :left:
I give it a healthy four out of five! :up:
:star::star::star::star:
:sst: Don't bother making popcorn though, you'll forget to eat it! :whistle:

Thanks, I will try to find it :up:
:up: that one I remember and it was one of those I like if you know what I mean.
I shall make a note to keep an eye out for this. Have you seen 'Shutter Island'? De Caprio in a mad house – quite interesting 🙂
Unknown actors I take it huh?

I'll see if I come across it. :up:
Finally … South Africa will be known for more movies than just District 9! 😉

I don't have a clue what you're getting at :confused:We hardly make movies here anymore! :awww:
D9 was filmed in Soweto, amazingly enough. Usually *anything* overseas (that isn't supposed to be a recognisable city such as London or Paris etc.) is filmed 'on location' in California, isn't it?

Well, in the film, "The Air Up There" some scenes were set in Kenya but filmed near Tzaneen in South Africa! :p (The film also has the Kenyans say things in isiZulu! :p )Many Film makers use South Africa to shoot scenes that are set in London, New York etc. because our filming licencing is cheap compared with international rates. We also have the wide range of British and Dutch, Colonial architecture to match these cities. Films set in the Middle East are often filmed in Namibia as the Namib Desert and the Sahara Desert look pretty much the same on camera but one is teaming with rebels and wars while the other is rather quiet! :pAlso, any film shot in South Africa during the Eighties will claim to have been shot anywhere else for political reasons. :rolleyes:But to come back to your point: Originally posted by FlaRin:
True for any B grade movie! In fact, they will usually fake a Paris skyline or use a stock clip of a London Red Bus as needed rather than leave LA! :p
It got rated pretty low on imdb but yet, I may watch it if I have some extra free time."I give it a healthy four out of five!"- Better a healthy 4 than a sick 5 😀
😆
I'll look out for it. All I keep seeing advertised on television is a Tinkerbell 3D rendition and Les Miserables 🙄

Yeah, I guess that would make a difference. I've been living alone for years! :p

I can see you haven't discovered all the pleasures TV offers. I'm, as a true trash lover, grateful for the existence of TV 😀 On TV you can find out about red haired monkeys with mustaches that are habiting city markets, about 'supernatural' intelligence of fortunetellers, you are introduced to a sick mind of some fake reality shows authors and on the top of it all you find out about new turbo folk creatures first 😀

Still a mystery to Aadil and me, this television. You'll have to be patient with us… :whistle:
Are you not reading! I've wrote plenty of pros for watching TV in my previous comment… Cons exists only if TV stations available to you are not productive enough…I've remembered one more pro, TV ads 😀 Look at this perfection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btjiT6dbIvM . Guess what's this commercial for 😀

😥 That ad and everyone involved with it's making should be incinerated! :irked:
I totally agree, I felt like vomiting and was angry for the first million times I've seen it on TV, now I got used to it and it became funny to me what kind of person make ads like this…So it can be considered as trash, I think our TV stations view us as primitive people as there are many questionable TV shows during daytime…

Any advert that suggests that the horn of a rhino is in any way related to a man's virility is perpetuating a myth that is killing rhinos! 😦
And no doubt much more expensive (and difficult) to get than Viagra etc., why would anyone bother to seek it out?\edit : sorry – I just realised what a fatuous comment that was. The people who seek out Rhino Horn are probably exactly the people who don't have any pharmaceutical access whatsoever.
It's a two-fold problem.On one hand, you have the foolish idiots who pay huge sums of money for a few grams of what amounts to being the equivalent of powdered toe-nail clippings.And on the other hand, you have the poachers who are willing to risk their lives to kill an innocent animal and hack off it's horn to aquire those huge sums of money.The poachers are quite willing to kill park rangers in the process, carry fully automatic assault rifle and leave the carcass of the dead animals where they drop! :cry:Originally posted by FlaRin:
Not true really. They could easily get real medicine, they just have more faith in fake medicine. 😦
Originally posted by FlaRin:
Exactly! :irked:Well, technically it is possible to use modern forensic techniques to distinguish between real a fake 'rhino horn' but it's not exactly an option available to the average buyer! 🙄
Probably powdered chicken bones would be an easier way to go – perhaps we've found a niche-market product – it can't be illegal to sell fake rhino horn to dumbasses, surely? We'd probably be millionaires within 18 months. Then channel future profits into a 'save the rhino' project. That would be poetic justice 🙂
How can they tell they're not actually getting the ground up toenail clippings of the poacher's grandmother and extended family??
Originally posted by FlaRin:
Sounds like a plan! But let's use powdered hair clippings rather! Easier to get in large quantities and closer in composition to the horn! :p
Ughhhh 😆 Perfect! As long as we don't get any clippings from someone who uses Vitalis, we should be laughing 🙂
This selling fake rhino horn and then using the profits to save rhinos – I want some of that action! :yes:
It makes more sense than something very sensible indeed 🙂
There is one little misunderstanding I think. They do use rhino horn as a motive on their package, which is wrong and probably supposed to send some subliminal but the name of the product actually is African plum so it also suggests it's made of plum. Anyway this ad is simply wrong in many ways and I'm glad I don't see it on TV for the past few days…
