March 26, 201312 yr Since my post was about a book on the movie Red Dawn, I thought it appropriate to post here; but the subsequent comments concerning books better belong in the thread so I moved them there.
March 28, 201312 yr "Olympus has Fallen" looks like an "Air Force One"/"Under Siege" Combo movie of fail. Against all advice I went to see this. Words cannot describe how bad it was on all levels and I am not a movie snob by any means. Not even worth the $1.20 redbox will charge in 6 months.
March 29, 201312 yr Here's some coming out soon that don't look too bad or at least entertaining. Edited March 29, 201312 yr by Tank
March 30, 201312 yr Here's some coming out soon that don't look too bad or at least entertaining. Oh good, I was worried Marky Mark wouldn't have a shirtless movie this year.
March 30, 201312 yr Saw GI Joe Retaliation, it wasn't too terrible - far better than the original. It's not exactly Batman Begins good, but still pretty decent, give it a C+ or B-... oh and if Olympus has Fallen was shitty, there's a direct clone coming out later this June called "White House Down" starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx. So I guess that's this year's Armageddon/Deep Impact duo. Edited March 30, 201312 yr by Clayton Bigsby
March 30, 201312 yr Oh good, I was worried Marky Mark wouldn't have a shirtless movie this year. So, you'll be seeing this movie as soon as it hits the theaters?
April 1, 201312 yr So, you'll be seeing this movie as soon as it hits the theaters? Midnight showing day of release. Theater here is showing Boogie Nights right before.
April 9, 201312 yr Maybe an actually legit NEW racing movie?? What, this wasn't legit enough for you...? [skip to 2:02 for some really legit racing footage!]
April 9, 201312 yr Actually I should take back what I said; there have been a few legit ones lately. Senna, for instance. Anyway this new one Rush looks pretty cool
April 17, 201312 yr New Superman trailer. A-10's vs Superman @ 2:20. Superman runs away. Simple physics - depleted Uranium tends to make Swiss cheese out of steel.
April 17, 201312 yr Maybe an actually legit NEW racing movie?? Are you suggesting 2 Fast 2 Furious wasn't legit? I'm outraged
April 21, 201312 yr Just saw Jurassic Park 3D. Although the exact same movie that came out 20 (holy crap) years ago, it made me inner 10 year old happy.
April 21, 201312 yr I saw Trance the other day. Excellent. I was pleasantly surprised they dodged an NC-17. Don't google image Rosario Dawson and Trance if you're at work.
April 21, 201312 yr Finally watched MiB III on DVD and was quite pleased. It was just as good as the first two, maybe even a little better in some regards...
April 21, 201312 yr Anyone recommend Oblivion? Thinking of seeing it with my roommates tonight, but not sure if we should just wait for Redbox.
April 22, 201312 yr I dug it. Similar look, feel and sound to Tron Legacy, just a much stronger plot.
April 23, 201312 yr I liked Oblivion. Saw it in IMAX. Definitely worth the extra $$$, the sound and visuals are pretty amazing and Tom Cruise actually does a pretty decent job. Even the wifey liked it, and she isn't a scifi fan very often.
April 30, 201312 yr Everybody is hating on Pain and Gain, but I thought the dark comedy was pretty damn funny.
May 1, 201312 yr I liked Oblivion. Saw it in IMAX. Definitely worth the extra $$$, the sound and visuals are pretty amazing and Tom Cruise actually does a pretty decent job. Even the wifey liked it, and she isn't a scifi fan very often. I agree. Watched it this weekend. Wife generally doesn't dig sci-fi but that's the deal if I'm expected to sit through her movies. She actually liked it as well. Several good twists in the plot, and when the movie slows down (there are a few slow spots) the visuals and effects help you through those moments. Movies like this are truly Cruise's element, as opposed to other roles he's played where he just doesn't fit, so the acting was fairly strong. A few minor things make you ask "how come they did this" or "why is that like this..." but I think most of those gaps could have resolutions that aren't answered in the film, unlike other films like this where there are huge plot holes making the whole premise seem ridiculous. Finally, I really wish they made something like that bubble aircraft Cruise flies in the movie...looks fun.
May 1, 201312 yr Movies like this are truly Cruise's element, as opposed to other roles he's played where he just doesn't fit... I want you to take a step back, and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!
