Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

For all you horror lovers, check out this Spanish flick called [Rec]. It's handheld-style, set in one apartment complex. They've got an American remake called "Quarantine" coming out this summer, but I'm wagering it's gonna fall flat next to its predecessor. If you can get a copy of this, watch it in the dark with your headphones. This movie is ill!

[quote=mooby;452029]I don't think Talladega Nights was that good at all. Tbh, one of the worst scenes I've watched in a movie was watching him run around pretend he was on fire for like 10 minutes. I loved Anchorman though and I agree that Old School was probably one of his best movies, I loved that one. He was good in Blades of Glory as well, I thought that was a good movie.[/quote]


yea, i agree 100% with everything you said. i think he was also very funny in the little parts he has played in such as zoolander, the wedding crashers and starsky and hutch. lets not forget a night at the roxbury, that movie is pretty funny. he was ok in kicking and screaming.

anyone else going to see Dark Knight at midnight tomorrow/today? I've had my ticket for about a week now and cannot freaking wait. I just wish the imax nearby was playing it cuz that would be insane.

I couldn't cop IMAX tix until the Saturday showing... I had to get the tix almost two weeks ago! Damn 4th row too...

This opening weekend is gonna blow record books wide open. I'm thinking close to 185 mill.

I've seen Ocean's Thirteen since the post at the top of the page, another excellent flick that I really liked.

I also saw Eastern Promises last week on Cinemax. I have to say, I was actually pretty disappointed with it. I thought the storyline was ok, but I feel like the ending absolutely sucked. It was like they were just going along with it and then decided they'd had enough, no ending necessary.

I actually thought this film was one of the best of 07... Cronenberg's last few films are kinda on that same level, where he weaves a tale and the ending reveals something about the character you don't expect. Viggo's been kickin' ass in both of the flicks with this director.

The stem room fight scence was insane! It remind me of Red Heat.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Anybody watch the Day Watch/ Night Watch movies? Am I missing something? I don't see what the big deal was about...

I thought Eastern Promises was a dud compared to the genius that was History of Violence. I hate it when foreign characters in films speak English in weird accents instead of their native language. One of my pet peeves.

And I'm excited for Batman, but it's getting kind of a negative buzz from the critics.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I can't wait to see the new Batman, it really looks kickass

Don't get me wrong: I don't think I've EVER wanted to see another movie as much as I want to see The Dark Knight; but I'm not looking forward to staying up until at least 3am and then working the next day.

Enough of my pity party... I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Hey I don't blame you. My days of going to midnight shows are long gone.

Hell, if a band I like comes to town and the show is during the week, it has to be a real favorite of mine for me to go. STP played just recently near me and the show was on Tuesday night... I didn't go. :(

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Batman as well, I like the look of it. Some day probably in the next week or so me and my friends are gonna go to the theater around 2, and try to watch The Dark Knight, Wanted (I think that's what its called, it's the movie with the curved bullet in the previews, Angelina Jolie is in it) and Hancock all in the same day.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I know nobody cares but I'm going to go checkout [URL="http://www.apple.com/trailers/picturehouse/mongol/"]Mongol[/URL] tonight.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Hancock was eh, in my opinion. The "twist" was weak, I thought. But Will Smith is pretty damn funny for the first 15 minutes.
