SylvesterStallone Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Anyone see Smokin' Aces?Pretty good, a bit of a mess at times but funny, violence, nudity, guns, drugs...I thought it was pretty bad dude...Joe Carnahan the director is pretty damn cool...but this was a misfire imho. Nothing really worked, the way it was shot, the dialogue, the action...I just didn't really care for any of it. It was pretty forgettable. Even good directors screw up from time to time (Mann w/Miami Vice, DePalma with pretty much everything after Mission Impossible,etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yeah it was badly made, like I said it was messy. But I enjoyed it. I couldn't tell you what the story was tho.I really havent seen many good movies recently. It will be on cinemax and I'll watch it again, laugh at it.I thought it was intentionally chaotic, but then I started to think they didn't know what was going on.I remember it fondly. So they were actually trying to make a serious movie? It was like a B-movie remake of True Romance.Like No Country For Old Men is a class but I couldn't watch it. I loved Fargo but I could keep focused on No Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) I need a movie to hire out tonight, but I can't think of anything. Sadly I think I've asked this question too late as there's probably no awesome movie people are online right now . Still though, I want a weird (quirky would be a better word) sort of sarcastic comedy, but I can't for the life of me think of any that I haven't seen.

Dead Man on Campus. Kingpin. Groundhog Day. Caddyshack. Love Stinks.Best I can do off the top of my head. Most of those I doubt you can find in the video store though...

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Guillermo del Toro is going to do the next two LOTR films.Guillermo del Toro 'Hobbit' deal closesWill direct the film and its sequel in New ZealandStaff reportApril 24, 2008After protracted negotiations, Guillermo del Toro has closed his deal Wednesday to direct "The Hobbit" and its sequel for New Line and MGM.The Mexican helmer will move to New Zealand for the next four years to work with "The Lord of the Rings" filmmaker Peter Jackson, who is exec producing, and his Wingnut and WETA production teams.Del Toro will helm the two films back to back, telling the story of "The Hobbit," and its sequel, which will deal with the 60-year period between "The Hobbit" and "The Fellowship of the Ring," the first of the "Rings" trilogy.Del Toro's next movie is the upcoming Universal release "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army."He's done some dodgy mainstream shit but The Devil's Backbone and, more specifically, Pan's Labyrinth has proved this guy to be an amazing director. With the help of Jackson and co. I can't see this being anything other than AMAZING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless_girl Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hard Core Logo. All you Canadians can probably get it fairly easily, so you should check it out.I just ended up getting Blues Brothers, among others. Guranteed enjoyment right there I tells ya, what a classic.I love that film so much. The barroom scenes especially."What kind of music do you usually have here?""Oh, we got both kinds. Country and Western."Guillermo del Toro is going to do the next two LOTR films.Ahh, Pan's Labyrinth. Although I think they need to let go of the whole Lord of the Rings thing already.

Zint Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hard Core Logo. All you Canadians can probably get it fairly easily, so you should check it out.It actually has massive cult status around here...highly revered.Great movie...the guy (Hugh Dillon) who plays the lead is a musician in real life.He was in a band called the Headstones for years (he's ventured into acting now).little fact: Hugh totally improvised the ending of the movie,it proved to be so powerful they decided to keep it in.As a former traveling punk rock kinda guy,I can't tell you how much of that movie rings true!ffrank...check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssiscool Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Regarding T4 that aparently has changed it's name.The rather excellently named Moon Bloodgood, last seen in the cancelled-just-as-it-got-good time-travel show Journeyman is apparently in final negotiations to become the female lead. Whether this is still the previously-mentioned resistance pilot Blair or another character isn't clear.and from Digital SpyArnold Schwarzenegger has revealed he would like to appear in the new Terminator film. The actor turned politician, who is currently the Governor of California, found fame in the sci-fi series and admitted he would like to have a role in the fourth franchise instalment, providing it shoots in his adopted state. He said: "I've never had a dialogue with anyone about it. But if they shoot the movie in California, I would [be a part of it], yes." The new Terminator film begins shooting next month under the direction of Charlie's Angels helmer McG. Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin and Moon Bloodgood are among the cast.

Shuffle Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It's cool that they're finally doing something with LOTR but I wish Jackson would be directing this too, but at least he's producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen it, not through choice just never got round to it.One of the best films ive seen in the last year could be considered a modern western,The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, fucking great film.

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I might just have seen the worst movie ever. It was called Mars Attack or something. Might have been Attack from Mars. Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
