M2 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 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.
Clayton Bigsby Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Love it https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=scX7EoaD_ec 1
di1630 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 "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. 1
Tank Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Here's some coming out soon that don't look too bad or at least entertaining. Edited March 29, 2013 by Tank
17D_guy Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 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.
Clayton Bigsby Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) 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, 2013 by Clayton Bigsby
Tank Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 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?
17D_guy Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 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.
Jughead Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 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!] 1
spaceman Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 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
HU&W Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 New Superman trailer. A-10's vs Superman @ 2:20. Superman runs away.
billy pilgrim Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 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. 1
LoneStar Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Maybe an actually legit NEW racing movie?? Are you suggesting 2 Fast 2 Furious wasn't legit? I'm outraged
sky_king Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 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. 1
guineapigfury Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 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.
M2 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 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...
donkey Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Anyone recommend Oblivion? Thinking of seeing it with my roommates tonight, but not sure if we should just wait for Redbox.
Clayton Bigsby Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I dug it. Similar look, feel and sound to Tron Legacy, just a much stronger plot.
Swanee Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I liked Oblivion. Saw it in IMAX. Definitely worth the extra $$$, the sound and visuals are pretty amazing and Tom Cruise actually does a pretty decent job. Even the wifey liked it, and she isn't a scifi fan very often.
DEVIL Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Everybody is hating on Pain and Gain, but I thought the dark comedy was pretty damn funny.
Hueypilot Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I liked Oblivion. Saw it in IMAX. Definitely worth the extra $$$, 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.
HercDude Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 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! 1
