The Sentinel.
I had higher hopes for this movie. It wasn't that great and wasnt very suspenseful
I got to see this movie. Check out the preview for Sunshine. that bitch looks sharp and i love space sci fi movies like this.. it looks like the movie "Solaris" should have been.

I saw it and I thought it was decent. It's a solid rental, but not worth the $8 theatre money (if you saw it then). Nothing spectacular, but worth watching if you like action movies IMO. Plus Eva isn't hard on the eyes either (relax, she wears a suit the whole movie).Quote:

From the site that Gutz gave...
that's the shit. I don't think i recognize any of the actors though:(Quote:
Fifty years from now, the sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. There is an accident, a fatal mistake, and a distress beacon from a spaceship that disappeared seven years earlier. Soon the crew is fighting not only for their lives, but their sanity.
check out crank.
I thought it was pretty good and had some scenes that made me laugh.
Amy Smart is so hot!!!!!!!
Cross it has Michelle Yeoh in it from crouching tiger hidden dragon, the guy who played Scarecrow in batman begins and the guy who plays Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four movie. The trailer looks damn good, i'm going to check that movie out.
I recently saw High Tech Soul: The Creation of Techno Music. Even if you don't care for techno, you'll probably like this. There's LOTS of "history of Detroit" stuff -- it's a Detroit movie -- and my only regret was that it was too short.

Whew...i thought tucker wasn't gonna in this one...
Talladega Nights: BIG TIME THUMBS UP! But even if you've seen it in the big screen, be sure to check out the Unrated DVD which has a boatload of funny features on it. Even the mock commentary, where the director and friends pretend to be bombastic asshats making great cinema, is pretty funny. I pray to baby Jesus that you see this DVD.
The only catch? AFAICT, "Unrated" just means not rated. No nekkid chicks.
Yea I loved taladega nights! SHAKe and BAKE Cal!!!!!! Not as funny as Anchorman to me, but close. Those kids had me rolling along with the grandfather. And the extras are damn funny too, like the mock commercials that didnt make it to film.
Sometimes we think too hard when we rate movies, so I'm gonna give a "Goshboots Quickie" here:
I saw "The Punisher" last night. Was the acting good? No. Was the action good? No. Was the story good? No.
In fact, the movie was made in 2004, and I might have thought that John Travolta was beyond shit movies like this by that time. I mean, dude was nominated for an Oscar (inexplicably over Samuel L Jackson, who WAS Pulp Fiction) for Pulp Fiction before this. What the hell was he thinking? Did the L Ron Hubbard Club hit him up for a donation?
The REAL injustice, though, was that the movie had Rebecca Romaigne (SP help) in it, and she is niether: Naked or fucked.
I have a new rule: If you are trying to be a Superhero, or an Ace Crime Fighter, you have to fuck ALOT of chicks. None of this "lonely, troubled, I'm too busy fighting crime to get a blow job" shit. If you run into a phone booth to change into a pair of fucking tights and a cape, you have to PROVE you're not a fag. If you play with bats in a cave (again, while wearing a pair of tights), you have to demonstrate, by fucking every chick who even looks at you (even if she thinks you are a nutbag for playing with bats in a cave while wearing tights) in order to prove that you didn't win the Gold Medal in Men's Figure Skating.
Otherwise, join forces with the Amibiguously Gay Duo and fight crime from the closet.
Every movie I have seen lately has been so bad that I didnt think they even deserved reviews. Here is a quick list.. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Altered, The 8th Plague, Butterfly Effect 2, Children of Men. Obviously a couple of those I knew were going to suck, but still managed to be blown away by their suckage. Im about to stop watching movies alltogether and stick with the old ones that are good. Considering that, Im really nervous about the new Hannibal Rising movie that is coming out but Im pretty sure I have to see it.
Has anyone checked out Pan's Labyrinth?
300's coming out soon as well, has potential if the storyline isn't garbage, because the art direction is stellar.
I agree on "300". It might turn out to be what "Troy" should have been, with the way it was filmed.
the previews were definitely eye candy. looks like one of those movies you MUST see on a big screen, rather than a small television.Quote:

I liked Children of Men contrary to what UxKa says. It was a thinker.
Oh, Pan's Labyrinth being in Spanish is kind of a bummer.
i'm going so see pan's labrynth soon. 300 is on my must list. Has a god of war feel to it. I've touting it as must see for the past 2 months though.
Here's one for ya. Japanese movie, Azumi..Terrific action drama about a young girl raised to be an assassin. she's kinda fine too.

Quote:
Orphaned as a little girl, Azumi (Aya Ueto) is raised in the forest with a group of ten children by their master (Yoshio Harada), who trains them to be peerless assassins. Azumi and Nachi (Shun Oguri) are the strongest of the fighters. When the group comes of age, the master gives them one final test. He tells them to team up with the person to whom they feel closest. Then he tells them to kill that person, explaining that an assassin never gets to choose whom to kill. The teens reluctantly fight to the death. Then the survivors are brought out of the woods to begin their work, assassinating the corrupt warlords who are preventing peace in the land. The assassins, particularly Azumi, perform their missions with flair, but complications arise. One of the teens (Takatoshi Kaneko) is poisoned by a ninja's blade, one (Kenji Kohashi) falls in love with a circus performer (Aya Okamoto), and Azumi begins to question her desire to live the violent life of an assassin. Meanwhile, one warlord (Naoto Takenaka) cleverly escapes their blades, and together with his bodyguard Kenbei (Kazuki Kitamura) and a "monkey-faced" ninja, Saru (Minoru Matsumoto), they find Bijomaru (Jô Odagiri from Bright Future), a violent madman, release him from prison, and unleash him upon the young team of assassins. Azumi, based on the manga by Yu Koyama, is the first of cult director Ryuhei Kitamura's (Versus) films to be made within the Japanese studio system. It was shown at the 2004 New York Asian Film Festival, presented by Subway Cinema. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
gutz, you like international movies?
I guess they might be good but I can't stand reading the subtitles for the whole movie.
if a movie is good, its good. subtitles make me no difference. They only time i probably won't watch subtitles is on an anime. otherwise its not a big deal for me. Also international movies tend to try different things more often than american movies. they can be refreshing when you're bored.Quote:

The movie featured solid acting yet a predictable plot, but it compensated with great twists and the real entertainment was in the Why and how. It was hard to root for anybody because everybody was a bad person at some point, but the conflict between Bale and Jackman was pretty good. Oh ummm keep your eyes open for a classic pop star cameo in the movie if you can find him/her.
Azumi appears to have a dub as well a a sub. That's fun because sometimes the dub and sub can vary considerably adding another level of entertainment. BTW, thanks for the pointer Gutz -- another movie added to my Netflix queue.Quote:

It's well worth watching, definite thumbs up from me, but if I had to watch it because it was in a foreign language and subtitle-only, I probably wouldn't.
I think English subtitles are a must when there's an English commentary track. That way, you can track where you're at in the movie as the director or stars or whoever are talking.
no prob, nothing better than watching a a fairly fine Japanese woman carve 200 people up with a shiny kitana and a very very short mini skirt.Quote:

As long as it is not that one in white with the sword on the previous page. I'm not sure what gender that person is.Quote:

So, for some unknown reason, she grabs the remote. Now, any woman worth her salt knows that the remote is a part of a mans body. As a woman, if you grab the remote, you must be prepared to have your arm ripped off. But before I can proceed to do that, she flips on a movie called "Extreme Measures" and sees (and says), "Hey! Elizabeth Hurley!". So, thinking of another use for her arm when Ms Hurley is onscreen, I let it go.
Much to my chagrin, Elizabeth Hurley is not in the movie, she's the producer, and the movie stars Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. No bombs, no sexy women vampires, no potential. In fact, whenever I see a movie with a female producer and Hugh Grant, I think one thing: Fag City.
Now, all I can say about Hugh Grant is, "At lest he spent a few years banging Elizabeth Hurley", because for the life of me, I CANNOT get past his fucking haircut.
The fucker has the same hairdo as Dorothy Hamill! Hey, if I want to see that, I'll watch the goddamm Olympics!
Not to mention that Srah Jessica Parker is a freakazoid who looks EXACTLY like those old claymation kids from such classics as "The Year Without A Santa Clause". The term BUTT UGLY would be a compliment for this skank. Matthew Broderick has GOT to be gay.
So I watch this shit for two hours, and I can't remember a thing from it. All I can remember is I think I'm 13 and listening to Dick Buttons saying, "And Dorothy Hamill wins the Gold!", and thinking that if Sarah Jessica Parker ever offered me a blow job, I'd have to decline, out of fear of having my dick end up being a part (a SMALL part), of a pile of chewed off twigs damming up some stream somewhere.
Saw "Smokin' Aces" over the weekend. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad. I went into it expecting it to be a bloody mess, with no plot and terrible acting... but I was pleasantly surprised. Is it going to win awards? No. The plot twist: you can see it coming from a mile away. But if you want to go in and be entertained, it's a good movie. The acting wasn't too bad, especially by the newcomers Alicia Keys and Common.
****SPOILER ALERT****
(Plus Ben Afflack dies early)
***END***
The Snow Miser. I can see it.
http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Fe.../snowmiser.jpghttp://www.telvi.de/UserFiles/Image/...ica-parker.jpg
Look at the image search for "Year Without a Santa Clause". Its weird.
the guy who did smoking aces also did "narc" which was shot in detroit. I wouldnt expect him to do anything too corny.
I just saw Idiocracy, Mike Judge's recent movie about just where our cultural dumbing down is leading us. Trust me -- just get this movie! It's a cult movie classic! Judge bit off a little more than he could chew, and executes the plot unevenly, but DAMN if there aren't funny moments up the wazoo! Here's just a little taste:
im really feeling 300...
Yeah, Cross, I hope it's a good movie, it really looks promising. People all over are raving about Pan's Labyrinth too, I'll have to check that one out sooner rather than later.
Saw it, best way to describe it is that it's a fairy tale for grown ups. Its kinda twisted. I liked it, but felt weird about how some of the things play out, kinda how i felt watching oldboy.Quote:

Not a review... yet. But I'm frickin' JACKED about 300. Sometimes you just need to see an ass kicking movie.
There have been some advanced reviews about it and they say it was amazing.
I called that movie out months ago. You fucks are late on the hype.:yingyang: :mccosky:
I hate pretty much every movie.
Very true - I will give you your props on that one. I was a little iffy at first when you were hyping it, but the Nine Inch Nails trailer won me over.Quote:
