njskaguy33 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Back from the dead! Argo is another good example of a great movie that starts out with the payoff already known. Not sure of everybody else's opinion, but I thought Argo elevated Ben Affleck to the Robert Redford / Clint Eastwood level of actors turned directors. Also, I still do the occasional film review, so here's a few of my recent ones. Les Mis should be getting a review tonight, but your enjoyment of Les Mis hinges on how much you enjoy muscials and the source material. I enjoyed it for what it is but if it weren't for Anne Hathaway's brilliant performance, it would have been a real disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRASHER Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Going to get Abe Lincoln Vampire Killer for ipad on my flight home tonight. Anyone see and or recommend? I enjoyed it a lot actually......it wasn't too goofy and told a story which just sounded to be total absurdity and did it in a very credible and believable way.....

Cachorro Louco Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 finally the trailer for RoboCop I confess i'm on the hype train because the director is brazilian, and mostly because the last two movies of him were brilliant, seriously if you haven't watched "Elite Squad 1" and "Elite Squad 2: enemy Within" , do yourself a favor go on the link below pay four bucks and watch the first movie porra!! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WCZJF0/ref=atv_dp_gtv_hd_sib if you did not like the movie for whatever reason go to a hospital take a MRI scam cause you probably have brain tumor... Now the second one is even easier to watch Both Netflix and Amazon Prime have the title for free. Of course my hype took a dive straight dow to a pile a sh!t, when i was announced the studio decided to make the movie as PG-13 rated, after that rumors startin circulating that Padilha wasn't so happy doing the movie because he didn't have much "creative liberty". But after watching the trailer i kind regained the hype i lost, of course the movie isn't gonna be as good as the original, but is not gonna a bad remake either. So this my take on this movies. And watch the freakign goddam movies i cited already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see "We are the Millers" yesterday, and it was better than i expected, i thought the trailer might have all the best moments but actually there is a lot of funny stuff in that movie. Well worth a watch if you dont want to be challenged and just want a laugh and to relax.

Satans Hockey Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I just want to recommend The Grandmaster for any kung-fu fans out there. It does have subtitles but I thought it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneykoIsGod Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 RoboCop was badass enough to not need a reboot, but the trailer looks pretty sick. And the guy playing Murphy is tremendous in The Killing, so I'm pretty excited about that casting choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever watch any of his movies check to see if he is doing commentary as he is always great on those as well. He once was asked why does his movies have so much blood. His response was basically that when a person is shot multiple times in the body there will always be blood squirting all over the place so why not?

Daniel Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) The dark humor is what made the original Robocop a classic. Hard to see a reboot being able to repeat that.

Well worth a watch if you dont want to be challenged and just want a laugh and to relax. The car bomb thing i'm pretty sure is courtesy of the PG-13 rating... Also a few months ago i watched " The Last Gladiators" i was quite surprise because i was expecting a documentary that pointed the finger to hockey because of the "Violence" of the sport, But the first part of the documentary felt like a tribute for the enforcer/fighter/goon. even glorifying the their role on the team. The second part was just on Nilan's downfall and trying to get his life back together, and again i was surprised that they didn't point the finger on hockey and state that his role as fighter was the sole culprit of Nilan's problems, of course they suggest that hockey was played a part on his fall from grace, but for me there is big difference in suggesting and stating... Finally i enjoyed even more the documentary because i only been watching hockey for four years and i still learning the history of hockey.
