Film The Movies I want to see thread

I'm still going to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, but this line from a review is awesome:


'Here is the worst thing to happen to Abe Lincoln in a theater since he attended "Our American Cousin." '
 

Dredd, a characer who deserves a good film. Might happen one day. Oh and before anybody says it ripped off the raid, it had finished filming before the Raid started shooting.
 
The film-maker himself revealed in May that four movies are now planned and has said he is likely to direct only Avatar movies for the rest of his career. "I'm in the Avatar business. Period. That's it," Cameron told the New York Times. "I'm making Avatar 2, Avatar 3, maybe Avatar 4, and I'm not going to produce other people's movies for them. I'm not interested in taking scripts.

"And that all sounds, I suppose, a little bit restricted, but the point is I think within the Avatar landscape I can say everything I need to say that I think needs to be said, in terms of the state of the world and what I think we need to be doing about it. And doing it in an entertaining way."

What an absolute fecking cnut.
 
:lol: He can use Avatar to say everything that other, more original unoriginal filmmakers have said millions of times already.
 
I can't decide if this looks interesting or stupid:



Also, what is it with trailers these days showing the whole damn film?

I know, they no longer keep any secrets. Does my head in. I reckon I can predict everything that will happen in the Dark Knight rises before I've even seen it.
 
James Cameron has finally given up Battle Angel? Shake my head son. Dudes soft now, feck him. Should be making a True Lies sequel, a proper T3 and Battle Angel, but instead we get.....Avatar, Avatar and Avatar.

Sequel or Prequel to Judge Dredd?
 
I can't wait to see them. I liked Avatar and I'm looking forward to more of the 3D thrill rides.


Arggh! Ryan Reynolds has ben cast as Connor Macleod!!!!!!!!
 

Redband for the man with iron fists which looks cool as.
 

New total recall trailer which I think is looking fantastic.

Yeah, I thought that was a bit daft too, but Christopher Lambert was hardly the greatest actor in the world nor was he Scottish.

I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, he's not always the funny guy, I think he might be able to a decent job, I remember the outcry when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker.

He'll never do as good a job, but the film might be decent with the right direction and taken seriously.
 
I did not know they was even remaking Highlander.
Most of my mates hate it, but I love it watched it many times.
If they remake the second one, I hope they do a better job of that one, it really is a bad film.
 
Nothing can save the second movie, there are about 15 different cuts of that movie, they are all horrible.

I think it was a retooled script for something else, it made zero sense and they just shoe horned Connery in anyway they could. Every sequel was garbage, the last movie was just so ludicrously stupid it hurt my head for days trying to make sense of it.

The first movie is alright, nothing special but it captured the imagination, Queen soundtrack was probably the best part.

Even just sounding out the first movie sounds horrid, it's about; an new-born immortal warrior were he can only surive by hunting down and killing other immortals, severing their heads and absorbing their magic lightning, until there is only one left, the last man standing will receive a prize. The details of this prize will never be discussed, but everyone will really want it regardless of wither it even exists or what it will be.

The main character is a Scottish Highland warrior, played by guy with some weird french accent, and is trained by a Spaniard(Egyptian?), played by a Scottish guy with a Scottish accent, to fight for this prize. For no real reason other than well, he seems like a nice guy, even though it is entirely detrimental to him if this guy he trains should get any good as they will have to kill each other anyway or he might turn out to be a total wanker in 100 years and hunt him down to kill him. The Highlander (a Scot, I remind you) uses a Japanese sword and the majority of the fights will occur in modern day New York.

Somehow it works out to be an alright film if you don't think about it too much.

:lol::lol: cant deny any of that.
The Queen sound track is probably the main reason I like it so much.
 
Lastwolf just killed Highlander!

It was a nonsensical yet enjoyable film. The sequels sucked hard, I gave up after the Mario Van Peebles one.

I'm surprised by the Total Recall sequel/remake/redo.

The movie was built around a gimmick. Without that there's nothing to it.

The movie was built around an original Philip K Dick short "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" of which the film only scracthed the surface.
