New Movies.

[The Conquistador]

I just saw the trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes movie. It looks like it would be a good one. Robert Downey Jr. plays as Sherlock and Jude Law is playing as "my dear Watson".

Any thoughts?

[transjen]

Could be good as long as they keep them in the 1800s and not put them in modern day London
:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

[The Conquistador]

Yes it is set in the 1800's.

[transjen]

Then it may be pretty good as Holmes wotks best when he's set in the time he was created, Every time they try to mordenize him it screws everything up
:yes: Jerseygirl Jen

[Jenae LaTorque]

Yes both are fine actors, but I will say that I am having trouble seeing Jude as Dr. Watson. Well, we shall see, won't we? LOL If I can buy into Downey being a black soldier in Nam, then who knows what's possible. I'll admit that it took quite a while for me to recognize Robert in that role.

[violet lightning]

Has anyone seen "District 9"? The sci-fi movie produced (but not directed by) Peter Jackson....
Just wondering if its any good.

[johndowe]

Hi there.

Saw Transformers 2 liked it better than the first, but there is 1 thing i didn't like; JETFIRE, i still have "him" from years ago, and he WASN'T a SR71 Blackbird, but isn't i great when the two gutsyest ones in the movie are also the youngest and dating eachother?

JohnDowe.

[violet lightning]

Ok, well I saw "District9" the other day, and I gotta say, I was a little disappointed. It had some really nice FX, especially the gigantic spaceship that sits over Johannesburg.
The plot and characters..meh.
I did like that it was a South African movie, not the usual Hollywood stuff, but overall, not impressed.
They also set it up for a sequel.

The movie I'm looking forward to with hope is the Woodstock movie.

[The Conquistador]

Has anyone seen the trailer for Alice In Wonderland? They have Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter. My only gripe is that they cast Helena Bonham Carter as Alice. You'd think they'd use someone alot younger like Dakota Fanning or something.

[aw9725]

I think Helena Bonham Carter is the Red Queen. Anne Hathaway is the White Queen. Don't know who is Alice. Looks like it might be good. Really liked Johnny Depp as Dillinger in "Public Enemies."

Looking forward to "Avatar" later this year. With all the hype surrounding it, I hope we won't be disappointed.

Okay. I just saw part of the trailer and assumed she was Alice.

I am also looking forward to seeing Avatar. Is it true that James Cameron is producing it?

[aw9725]

Yes. It's due out December 18th. Sam Worthington who played "Marcus" in Terminator Salvation is in it. So is Sigourney Weaver.

[DSL]

Oh a classic ( thief james caan 1981 ) an awesome movie worth watching
its just finishing here now. and also has anyone seen the new startrek
movie yet any reviews?.

[bumlove24]

OK this film is great! I know it may not of heard of it in the states but trust me this is the greatest comedy ever!
One of the main characters is american and he is funny as fuck!

I've always had a thing for Helena, so I can't agree. That said, it's typical casting by Burton. In fact, Helena is his WIFE! And Johnny Depp??? How many films has he done with Burton, now??? He's been a lead character in about half of them! This is by-the-numbers Burton, and that's being kind.

Did you recognize Tom Cruise in that film? The guy dancing to hip hop, I couldn't believe my eyes... Tom Cruise is always the ladies pretty boy, how did he end up in that role? LOL

I love the new Star Trek movie, it's a good Trekkie movie all around. Some people may complain that it got a few elements of Star Wars added into it, but I disagree, apart from perhaps the fighting scene with the guy from Harold and Kumars.

The effects are great, and the story is awesome, if you ever liked Star Trek before you won't be disappointed. If you don't like Sci-Fi, you might even still like this movie, as they seriously reduced the slow science infested babble scenes found in previous Trek ventures, and added way more action.

Although you get the sense that they were trying to appease to a younger audience when they made this film, perhaps trying to get this new generation of knuckle heads into Sci-Fi.

Oh, I seriously recommend watching the movie!! :)

[Kakariko]

I didn't realise it was him until about ¾ of the way through, then realised because of his voice :p

I'm currently looking forward to seeing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Sherlock Holmes, A Nightmare on Elm St and maybe Toy Story 3.

Helena Bonham Carter plays the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland. Alice is played by a girl named Mia Wasikowska.

[merelypink]

its on my list to see..... so is "the road" read the book and it was great

[shadows]

Okay. I just saw part of the trailer and assumed she was Alice.

There is so much hype for Avatar right now, it almost seems impossible that it will live up to it's expectations.

I hope I'm wrong, though. It looks like it could be a very interesting movie.

[violet lightning]

OK this film is great! I know it may not of heard of it in the states but trust me this is the greatest comedy ever!
One of the main characters is american and he is funny as fuck!

I wonder if thats the one released as "Pirate Radio" here in the states?
(ship that broadcasts rock music into Britain in the early 1960's when it was banned)
Haven't seen it yet, but it looks good.

2012 sucked predictably.
I am looking forward to "Avatar". "Alice" sounds good, but I hope they don't remake it like Depp's "Willy Wonka". That was pretty bad.

[Kakariko]

The trailer for the remake of Clash of the Titans looks interesting..

[aw9725]

Went to see 2012 the other night with my new ladyfriend and saw an incredible trailer for Avatar. Looks like a winner!

Here is a review of the "World Premiere":

http://blogs.ktla.com/samrubin/2009/12/new-avatar-movie-james-cameron-will-go-to-the-oscars-as-nominees.html

[Kakariko]

The trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2FHMcKUpzM&feature=related) is out, for those interested, even though the movie doesn't come out until November next year. The movie is coming out in two parts, first part in November 2010, next part sometime in 2011.

I'm looking forward to District 13: Ultimatum (http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/district13ultimatum/), which is a sequel to District B13, an absolutely epic movie. Go watch the trailer to District B13 on YouTube or something, if you haven't yet seen the movie. Absolutely brilliant!

[Hedonistman]

Avatar came in at just under $500 MILLION,,,, easily making it the most expensive film ever produced. I'm surprised the the pre release hype has not been in hype r drive, lol. I'm not a huge fan of the self proclaimed " I'm king of the world',,, so it'll be interesting to see if Avatar turns out to be the Cleopatra of this decade ,,,

[Kakariko]

I saw Paranormal Activity last night and thought it was great. Very interesting and quite creepy at parts. The suspense was excellent.

[The Conquistador]

There's been talk of a Metroid movie in the makes amongst my brethren of nerds. Has anyone heard anything about it?

[The Conquistador]

Has anyone seen Avatar yet? I saw it and I must say that It was quite bitchin in 3D. :cool:

I wonder what it would be like during an acid trip?

[smc]

I just saw the trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes movie. It looks like it would be a good one. Robert Downey Jr. plays as Sherlock and Jude Law is playing as "my dear Watson".

Any thoughts?

I saw "Sherlock Holmes" the day after Christmas. It is thoroughly enjoyable. Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes is a wise-cracking, sometimes self-loathing, co-dependent who cannot do without Watson. Jude Law's Watson is self-assured, brave, and strong. The sequences where Holmes explains, in slow motion, how he will accomplish something -- and then does it at real speed -- are very cool. And the way the movie works in Holmes' arch-nemesis is quite clever.

Highly recommended.

[Steve.Dark]

I saw Avatar in 3-d, it was absolutely amazing! Though I wish I had gotten there earlier... I had a bad seat

[km1]

I saw Avatar recently, and while it looked amazing the plot was pretty weak and predictable and there wasn't much to the characters. Cameron spends all this time and effort on making the movie look amazing he completely forgot to write a script. Why didn't he just hire someone else to go over his version and give it some life? Instead we get a movie which seems to be only an excuse to showcase all the visuals.

[The Conquistador]

Avatar was pretty much Pocahontas in 3D but way cooler!

[EdwardSinclair]

I am really glad that 2009 was a good year for movies... at least for me. It's been a long time since I have seen so many good films in one year alone. I can't even believe 2009 had the revival of star-trek, that's too much sci-fi in one year... I am so jubilant!!

I did watch Avatar when it came out, and went to see it again yesterday, and I was surprised that the movie theater was still full, and I got an ever worse seat than last time... :(
If this film was indeed expensive, I'm sure they've covered the expenses in ticket sales alone. I have to say I have seen the movie in two different countries, and in two very different continents and the room was still full over a month later. I recommend Avatar, but make sure your cinema has the 3D version.

Also watched Sherlock Holmes, and Downing nailed that role as Sherlock.. nuff said!! I hugely recommend this film, it has a clever twist and I enjoyed it.

[emi_baby]

Has anyone seen the trailer to the new Karate Kid movie starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith

I'm hoping it will be a good one and it won't ruin the classic old series cos Miyagi was brilliant!

Wax On, Wax Off :D

[smc]

I forgot to mention after seeing "Sherlock Holmes" a few weeks back that one of the previews really caught my eye:

"Hot Tub Time Machine"

A bunch of guys travel back in time a couple of decades after getting into a hot tub. The scenes where they are trying to "hook up" with girls at a pre-digital-age party are hilarious! I laughed so hard I nearly choked, and I made a note to keep an eye out for this movie so I don't miss it when it is released.

It promises to be pure, ridiculous escapism!

Here's a link where you can watch the trailer:

Avatar 3D is fabulous. I've watched it in December and i'm going to watch it this Sunday for the 2-nd time, and guess what? as of yesterday half of the tickets for sunday's showing were already sold. ;)

There have been quite a few post-apocalyptic movies out in 2009. How does this one fare against the others(if you've seen them, that is)?:)

[rockabilly]

The Clash of the Titans remake looks good , maybe it will get the wheels turning on the God of War movie.

If it does well that is.

Book of Eli was pretty good. Think The Road Warrior and The Blind Swordsman Zatoichi mixed around a Christian theme.

I will say this; it's not a movie for Jenae...

I've never seen The Blind Swordsman Zatoichi before. Is it any good? I wonder if the local Blockbuster would even carry it?

[aw9725]

I saw Avatar in December. I must say I believe it is the only movie I've been to where the audience applauded at the end. :cool:

[The Conquistador]

Has anyone seen the trailer for the new TRON movie? Jeff Bridges is in it as Kevin Flynn and his son is looking for him in the world where he's been in for the time being. I am kinda so-so on it but at the same time, it seems they got back some of the old crew from the original movie.:cool:

Yes, I watched the trailer, and noticed that some of the old crew is back too. I'm eagerly awaiting for this release, I did like the old tron too. Finally, sci-fi is making a come back.

[The Conquistador]

I haven't seen the original since I was 8. I hardly see it on the SciFi channel either which I find rather odd. It was on for one night and I missed it!

I own the 25th Anniversary version on DVD. Considering how awesome the movie looked way back then, I can't wait to see how it looks like now with all the advances in technology/computer animation.:)

Even with the simplistic political undertones, Avatar was a good watch.

LOL! I am not sure if you are saying that in jest or not, but in case you're being serious I can say that you should be able to find it in your local Future Shop or another store similar in nature.

Unless Disney did what they like to do with their animated films and stuck it in the "Disney Vault", you should be able to find a copy of it somewhere for purchase.:)

I too remember it as a great movie! I would have been 10 or 11 when it came out--geeze that was a long time ago... Did they have computers back then? Used to own it on "VHS" as well. :eek:

Good luck with your search! :cool:

A lil late but.....Sherlock Holmes was too much action and too little mystery. Love the Sherlock Holmes classic :cool: TV series from Grenada TV.....

Thanks to our local Redbox DVD rental machine for 1$ a night. [LIST=1]
Terminator Salvation Great movie I especially liked the part at the end when John Conner encounters the new model 800 terminator

Star Trek was good. Gamer eh so so Gerard Butler was better in 300 and Rockin Rolla District 9 not bad x men origins Wolverine good movie GI Joe rise of Cobra not bad nice special effects Transformers2 good movie Kept imagining Megan Fox was a shemale though lol.

Redbox is cool! Alot of the movies that I've seen on there were pretty good. I like that movie Carriers with Chris Pine.

Gran Torino, Taken and Edge Of Darkness are just full of awesomeness!:yes::yes::yes:

Kids are up this weekend. Just saw Zombieland with Woody Harrelson. I give it an "A". Last week we watched Inglorious Basterds with Brad Pitt. Quentin Tarentino has a twisted mind. Dont twist History into fiction. Waiting to see Universal Soldier Regeneration...

3 Universal Soldier movies.

It was a so-so movie compared to the others but I will say this; the ending fight scene between Van Damme and Lundgren is sweet! It was like 10 minutes of them punching and kicking the crap out of each other!

[The Conquistador]

Kevin Costner ruined Robin Hood for me. Hopefully Russel Crowe does alot better.

No because they kept it close to the O.G. so they really didn't have to write much they did change who the wolf man was from the O.G. but other than that it was out standing movie:)

I also watched The Wolfman a few days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Also, the full trailer for the new Nightmare on Elm St movie is out and unfortunately it doesn't look too great. Really not a fan of Freddy's new voice :frown:

[Kakariko]

Some other interesting looking movies to look out for: Get Him To The Greek, Cop Out, From Paris With Love. The first two are comedies, while the latter is directed/written by the same guys who did District B13. Also, there's a sequel to District B13 in the works, called District 13: Ultimatum.

[The Conquistador]

Has anyone seen Pandorum?

I thought it was pretty good. Ben Foster is a good actor; I really liked him in this and 3:10 To Yuma.

I have not, but my Supervisor saw it and said it was really good. He said there were a lot of scary moments in it. I'll probably be giving it a rental soon. He also recommended Intacto(it is in subtitles and spoken in Spanish).

[rockabilly]

Pandorum is in a pile of dvd's i have yet to watch ...
Jennifers Body
Star Trek
9
Crank 2
Seraphim Falls
Wrong Turn 3
And Ben Foster was great in 30 Days of Night.

I've not heard too many positive things about Jennifer's Body, so just a head-up rockabilly.

Star Trek kicks mega-ass! A great way to restart the franchise.:respect:

[rockabilly]

It's got an almost naked Meghan Fox in it ..... works for me. lol

I heard good things about Trek.

[The Conquistador]

The new Star Trek was badass!

Of course it is not all the intellectual chess game and diplomacy that made up most of the others so it is somewhat a "slap in the face" to the trekkie purists, but it is a great way to introduce newcomers to the world of Star Trek.



I can't wait to see Clash Of The Titans!!! :yes::yes::yes:




The more I see the Alice In Wonderland commercials, the more I am inclined to think that it will be just another one of Tim Burtons usual play of "dark and/or slightly on an acid trip" that he always just overplays and repackages and people think it's the greatest thing in the world.

Not to sound like a sourpuss but it looks just like the motif from Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, 9 and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. C'mon Tim Burton!

Was Cabin Fever 2 a bad movie?

[rockabilly]

Cabin Fever 2 sucks.

It has none of the emotional attachment that was a key part of the original.

It relies on shock and grossout moments to move the plot along. To me none of the characters were memorable except the deputy who returns from the first movie.

The director wanted his name taken off the film because he felt the end product was a reflection of producer interference.
Watch the new remastered Cabin Fever when it gets re-released.

Thanks for the warning. I will try and steer clear of this steaming pile of poop.

From the way you describe it, it sounds like it is like Hostel. Hostel had no plot to speak of and was just a way to show as much gore as possible(the train part? Come on! I can suspend my belief for a movie, but that was way too far-fetched!). And they made a Hostel 2? Ugh.

No, a theatrical release on March 26. I saw a preview at the cinema when I went to see Sherlock Holmes around Christmas time.

You know, the cinema. The big room where they show movies on a big white screen. I heard they have a few of those in the greater Moose Plop, Ontario, metropolitan area, or wherever the hell you live. :lol:

It's got John Cusack -- a real movie star.

[shadows]

Maybe. Was The Road another straight to DVD?

It may have ended up being that way since it had so much graphic content in it. It certainly sounded like it would be a good movie, but I never heard any comments about it.

You know, the cinema. The big room where they show movies on a big white screen. I heard they have a few of those in the greater Moose Plop, Ontario, metropolitan area, or wherever the hell you live. :lol:

It's got John Cusack -- a real movie star.

Have you seen some of the movies John Cusack has been in?;):lol: No guarantees with him, but I do enjoy the majority of movies I've seen him in. I cannot recall the name of the movie, but there is one where he takes the engine from the sports car of the "preppy jerk" and uses it on the group's boat to win the race. It was kind of cheesy(typical 80's fluff), but I enjoyed it.

Is that "Grandview, U.S.A"? I can't remember for sure. But he's made some really fine films, such as "Being John Malkovich," "Say Anything," "Eight Men Out," "Bullets Over Broadway, "High Fidelity" (my personal favorite), etc.

Nice dodge of the rest of my comment, my friend.

Yuck. Nothing like that.:no:

She used to love Orange Crush. She would pester and pester for it. She also really loved Cream of Mushroom soup. I told her that she could not have an Orange Crush until she ate her supper. Since she loved that soup so much I decided to make some up for her. I opened the can, turned it upside down, and let it plop down into a plastic bowl. With the quivering mass of congealed soup placed in front of her, I proceeded to open a different can of Orange Crush and drank it in front of her. It took years before she could eat Cream of Mushroom soup again.

And before anyone says "You beast! How could you?", I must remind them that it is in the handbook of the Big Brother. You must tease younger siblings whenever you can(especially younger sisters). You make up for that by making sure that no pieces of shit ever hurt them, and I was quite successful in that so it makes me a good big brother in the grand scheme of things.:)

Thanks for the warning. I will try and steer clear of this steaming pile of poop.

From the way you describe it, it sounds like it is like Hostel. Hostel had no plot to speak of and was just a way to show as much gore as possible(the train part? Come on! I can suspend my belief for a movie, but that was way too far-fetched!). And they made a Hostel 2? Ugh.

Funny you should mention Hostel , since Eli Roth directed both Cabin Fever and Hostel 1-2. Cabin Fever 1 = good.

Didn't he also have something to do with the first Saw movie as well?

Cabin Fever 1 I enjoyed. Hostel sucked big-time, and I have no desire to even attempt to watch Hostel 2.

[rockabilly]

No connection to Saw as far as i know , at least not as a producer or director. Eli may have hyped the movie in interviews.

I wish he would turn his Grindhouse faux trailer "Thanksgiving Day" into a feature , a Thanksgiving slasher film has never been done. I liked the twist at the end of Hostel 2.

According to numerous reviews, his good acting cannot help The Bounty Hunter of which the majority of reviewers call "a horrid movie"(well, I'm paraphrasing, but it is not doing well in the reviews;)).

Thanks for the recommendations of Gamer and Law Abiding Citizen. My sister owns the second one, so I will borrow it shortly.

My kid and I saw 2012 last night. Good special effects. Some of the effects were a bit far fetched though. The flying scenes in particular

[km1]

...2012...far fetched...

Speaking of 2012 and far-fetched, hows about Cusack as a writer/limo driver all of a sudden becoming the best driver in the history of the world. Didn't buy that for a second, didn't buy much of that film but that was the clincher. Woody kicked ass though, he had a good year what with Zombieland and The Messenger.

And while on the subject of far-fetched movies, ladies and gentlemen I give you Law Abiding Citizen.

And while on the subject of far-fetched movies, ladies and gentlemen I give you Law Abiding Citizen.

Let me get this straight. In an epic movie that is completely far-fetched, with every imaginably ridiculous catastrophe and special effect, the thing that was most far-fetched to you was the driving of one of the characters? That's an absolute hoot!

I'm just curious: which part of the first Star Wars movie was the most far-fetched to you? Was it Obi-Wan's ability with the light saber at his advanced age? Or R2D2 facility with languages? Or perhaps how well the gun-turret chairs swivel in the Millenium Falcon? ;):lol:

[km1]

smc, the difference between Star Wars and 2012 is that Star Wars is a good movie, 2012 is not.

The driving of Cusack's character is pretty well essential to there even being a movie, as they would have been killed off early in the film. I didn't buy him as the character for a second, and seeing as he's the main character and I don't rely on just visuals of a film for me to pass judgement, it stood out to me the most. Special effects are just that, I mean I like the 1933 King Kong the most of the three, so I don't put too much stock in that. As for the destruction (catastrophe) of the earth and that being far-fetched, anything is possible and while I don't believe that the world will end in 2012 (or change) I do know that our little time of civilized existence here is absolutely nothing compared to the life of the planet, or the universe for that matter, who knows what could happen. Hey, but at least the girl solved that bed-wetting problem.

As for Star Wars, Obi-Wan is a Jedi Master, I don't think age has much to do with it. R2D2 is a droid, I have no idea what has been programmed into his (her?) robot brain and don't care to know. Simple is better sometimes, less is more. The main problem with the prequels. Gun-turret chairs in the Falcon? You're stretching on that one there. Now back to shemales, I have another site for movies.

Just one question though smc, who shot first?

George Lucas had one really good idea for a movie. He successfully turned that idea into three good movies. But then he had no more good ideas. Like so many artists who rest on their laurels, he continually looks for ways to milk the original idea to keep himself going. Thus, we got episodes I-III. Thus, we got the alterations to the original three. And now this 3-D crap.

One of the signs of a truly great artist is knowing when to quit. Lucas created one of the best science fiction epics ever with his original Star Wars. He did it by transforming a classic American genre -- the Western -- and giving it a new setting, with compelling characters preeminent and special effects secondary. It's a shame that he couldn't stop there!

It?s incredible how difficult Lucas made it, to get a classical epic movie in the Original version on DVD. I think it?s only available in the Limited Edition of Star Wars.

I had no problem with the alien subject (in fits in that time), and for it self it wasn?t a too bad movie, but compared to the first three, and the way it was done, I was totally disappointed.
It has not the charm of the others.
They said they use only very few CGI effects that it looks like the prequels, and if they wanted they could make realistic looking CGIs. But in the movie were so many and cheesy effects.
For me it doesn?t reach the quality of the Indy movies.


E.G. ?Live Free Or Die Hard? was a worthy sequel, not the best out of the four but worthy. Indy 4 not.

Yeah, the 4th Indy didn't have the charm as you put it, like the other three. But it wasn't that bad...

If they make the last 3 parts of the Star Wars saga, 1) George Lucas should not direct it, 2) there should be way less focus on graphics and more on story and 3) they should bring back Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams(although from what I've seen, Carrie and Billy are a bit off their rockers...)

I will post later what I would like to see of the last three parts of the saga if it ever comes into fruitition.

The key to a Star Wars movie being great is that it has to follow the formula of a Western, with strong characters. That's why the first movie was so good, and why none of the others -- even the good ones -- came close. IMHO
