GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The A Team - completely unrealistic with very little keeping it connected to the tv show but great fun and well worth the hype.Magnum Force - Very few films can live up to the vibe the Dirty Harry films had.Inglorious Bastards - surprisingly enjoyable A Few Dollars More - not sure i really need to say anything about this film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Inception and Memento are both better than a couple of Kubrick's lesser works, and his very precise approach to filmmaking is similar to Kubrick's style, so I can understand the comparisons.Inception wasn't quite perfect but, wow, what a mindfuck of a movie. Loved every minute of it. And Hans Zimmer's score was awesome. The fight sequence that takes place as the van is flipping in the dream within a dream is the sort of breathtaking and unique scene that is an almost instant classic. Nolan set a new standard with that.Oh well we will all be disappointed by Batman 3 in 2012Nolan's like the Pixar of live-action filmmaking right now. I pretty much have complete faith in anything he does. It might be hard to top the cultural zeitgeist surrounding Dark Knight, but I don't think the film itself will disappoint many people. Something tells me he will figure out a way to bring it together.I agree with you and for some reason I think he will do something big in 3 to end it. Like maybe kill off Batman to stop this series he has done being milked after he moves on.DC would never let him kill Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that plot somehow resolved?I think they have resolved it but not sure how.And Nolan has said he wants 3 to be his last one as he doesn't want this current iteration of Batman milked to death and go down in quality so he will do something to end it and have it has a fullstop to his three films.

He's presumed dead, but he isn't.The suits at Time Warner would never allow an outright death of Bruce Wayne. Been following comics along time. Usually when a writer wants to change an origin or kill a major character...they always have to go above the editor, to the suits..and the suits always so no, unless its a retcon or if the character isn't really dead, like what was the case in Batman RIP.

Although...that would leave the door right open for a sequel/reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameless_girl Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Inception wasn't as much of an intricate thinking person's movie as I had been hoping, but it was definitely a thinking person's big blockbuster, and as such, it was utterly delightful. And honestly, I think I would actually pay full price to see it again, even if it was for further appreciation of the dreamscape and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance alone. He was amazing to watch, as he always is, and it's finally dawned on me that he's one of my favourite actors employed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about Marvel and DC characters, of course.^ yea thats the next step for films, making a reboot of reboots Already kind of doing that with SupermanAnd spiderman...and didn't they do it with the Hulk movies (I never cared for the character to much, so I haven't seen the films).

Estranged Reality Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Saw the original Dutch version of "The Vanishing" last night on Criterion...very disturbing film. Completely engaging from beginning to end too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st0n3r Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 It's a lot better then the remake too. I remember reading the book a while back. It's called 'Het gouden ei' ('The golden egg') or somehting. Chilling book, chilling film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the trailer and it looked rubbish. The weird thing is, the same director made it...he Americanized his own film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
