Cant wait by shrike11	Aug 29th, 2007 06:40:52 AM
This movie looks like it will be a lot of fun, I cant wait to see it.
blam blam blam by CuervoJones	Aug 29th, 2007 06:45:27 AM
if the action sequences are well shot, i´m there. I´m sick of shaky-cams, close-ups and epileptic editing.

(having a quiet moment)
LEAVE THEM BREAST ALONE! by Freefinger	Aug 29th, 2007 07:42:43 AM
For they are preaky and resemble a high moon, it just makes you stop and ponder how beautiful life is. Belluci is a better actress with them! SHOW THEM' SHOW THE PURE GLORY OF THE BELLUCI BREASTS!!! For they are the ones that makes you say "hummm..." Leave them breast alone I say!
Harvey Pekar as an Assasin? I'm in!! by Jugdish	Aug 29th, 2007 08:00:27 AM
Finally a film that seems like it doesn't give a shit..
can't wait by Trooperof3	Aug 29th, 2007 08:18:44 AM
so far almost all the summer movies were full of FAIL so hopefully this will live up to my expectations. (i already have a Shoot 'Em Up poster on my wall!!
Meh..... by Fridge	Aug 29th, 2007 08:35:07 AM
Crank with better acting...
No way by Unlabled	Aug 29th, 2007 08:40:28 AM
This is gonna be much much better than Crank... The ending ofits going to take you 90 seconds to fall 1000 feet?. In that 90 seconds your going to leave a voicemail? Ughhhhh...
"BEST MOVIE SINCE CRANK"- Roger Ebert by Stuntcock Mike	Aug 29th, 2007 08:55:40 AM
Meh.
Plant? Fook I hope not! by redfist	Aug 29th, 2007 08:55:54 AM
Beaming review...normally means some ad geek in a cube thinking of ways to impression on the fanboys that this movie is "COOL AS BALLS". But I hope that I am wrong on this and he is for real, cause I really want this to work out. PS....Monica Bellucci's tits are not "COOL AS BALLS"...the are the tits. Tits as in very nice, because everyone likes tits...even women.
One liners suck, the early 1990s are over by Spandau Belly	Aug 29th, 2007 09:48:57 AM
Seriously, watch the director's cut of Payback and you'll see how much an action/crime movie improves for having "humour" cut out. C'mon guys, Tango & Cash was fun when I was ten but leave this humourizing for the PG13 crowd and make a propre serious R actionner.
is late summer by Bloo	Aug 29th, 2007 09:55:07 AM
the new early summer? In that stuidios are going to be releasing the little pictures that they think noone wants to see but end up being very succesful? I don't know, but I know I'm going to be seeing this, looks great.
Paul Giamatti as the bad guy? I'm in! by Boris Baddenov	Aug 29th, 2007 10:03:04 AM
Just so he doesn't again do that southern-accent "Pig Vomit" line from Howard Stern's Private Parts: "AY-ENN-BEE-CEE!" .
and yeah, late summer kicks real summer's ass by Spandau Belly	Aug 29th, 2007 10:08:14 AM
The entertainment pictures released in August are actually helmed by writers and directors, not by computer animator guys and marketting psychos.

Clive Owen is a god among men by Kusoyaro	Aug 29th, 2007 10:23:31 AM
Any man who won't admit a man-crush on him is obviously gay.
that's old Biomind by just pillow talk	Aug 29th, 2007 10:26:52 AM
Monica's breats at the very least make this a rental.
if this is anything like Smokin' Aces... by BadMrWonka	Aug 29th, 2007 10:27:21 AM
then I pass...that movie stunk up the theater so badly, people were checking their shoes on the way out...
Any Death Sentence reviews? by Neo Zeed	Aug 29th, 2007 10:33:31 AM
This movie is coming out on Friday and I haven't heard much about it.
can't argue over that BadMrWonka by just pillow talk	Aug 29th, 2007 10:36:35 AM
I am certainly glad I did not see that in the theater. I think if they had monkeys with machine guns it would have been better.
Beluccshi does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Aug 29th, 2007 11:02:18 AM
The breasts of Belluci. Gotta be better than the breasts of Belushi.
Smokin Aces let me down,this looks alot better by liljuniorbrown	Aug 29th, 2007 11:26:25 AM
Clive Owen is the man. Fro mwhat i've seen this is just going to be a sick action movie with all kinds of crazy shooting and killing and dare I say it.........TITTIES!!! I'm in all the way. Smokin Aces let me down in alot of way because it just could have worked soo much better. What was the deal with the retarted kid in the karate outfit with the eye patch beating his meat and talking liek a gangsta rapper? That alone ruined it for me.
I actually enjoyed the one-liners by Freakemovie	Aug 29th, 2007 11:29:59 AM
What I didn't enjoy was the plot. In an action movie where the point is obviously just to have crazy extravagant action scenes, the occasional "okay there's this conspiracy and these guys are here because..." was really boring. If you're not going to spend time to come up with an interesting plot, then do away with it as much as you can. Still, that's my one gripe in an otherwise really entertaining film.
I will be seeing this by turketron	Aug 29th, 2007 11:33:27 AM
The previews look awesome, looks like an insanely fun movie. Over the top shoot outs and action sequences for the win.
"Wicked Violent" by BitterMan23	Aug 29th, 2007 11:40:50 AM
We got ourselves a new englander!!!
Wonka man I couldn't agree more by Bloo	Aug 29th, 2007 11:54:58 AM
after all the hype and everything that went into Smokin Aces on this site, I bought it (previously viewed so it's was only like 6 bucks but still) and was throughly disappointed in it. yeah it was violent blah blah blah but I couldn't get into any of the charathers because frankly they ALL deserved to die
good that it isn't like the trailer. the trailer sucked by BMacSmith	Aug 29th, 2007 11:57:25 AM
but i think i'll like this one. does belucci get it in the ass again in this one?
Kusoyaro by deadshot07	Aug 29th, 2007 12:25:16 PM
You're a genius.
transformers... by Deak the Geek	Aug 29th, 2007 12:28:26 PM
was the best film of the summer..no bollocks...can't believe they killed jazz...jazz lives!!!!
Christian Bale doesn't have that bad of a lisp by robzass	Aug 29th, 2007 12:34:09 PM
I'ts barely noticeable at all.
I don't see how is this gonna be good by Andy Warhol Jr	Aug 29th, 2007 12:34:22 PM
Another overhyped geek flick
So I'm a plant cause I do all caps? by J Skell	Aug 29th, 2007 03:04:23 PM
How bout I do all caps because that's what I've done for every film paper I've ever written. Referencing movies with quotes looks awful and that is only saved for television shows. It's called proper grammar. But nice one Rubicks.
also, this review features my worst grammar by J Skell	Aug 29th, 2007 03:06:11 PM
lo siento. I didn't edit much.
Nothing wrong with ALL CAPS by LoneGun	Aug 29th, 2007 03:22:59 PM
I use them all the time for film titles. There's no ulterior motive. It's a way to distinguish the titles from the rest of the text.
Nudity does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Aug 29th, 2007 03:35:57 PM
J Skell, while you're here, let's talk some more of Belluci's breasts...exactly what level of reveal are we talkin' bout here?
All Caps by beardo	Aug 29th, 2007 04:26:40 PM
What's wrong with referencing movies via quotes? That's more proper than all caps.
cobra-kai by J Skell	Aug 29th, 2007 04:55:53 PM
not like full-FULL exposure, but they're uncovered and it's mind boggling how much you don't see nip when she's got them out and she's flipping around all over the place during a naked romp w/ clive.
Friends, we have reached the age of Digital Boobies. by C.K. Lamoo	Aug 29th, 2007 04:57:30 PM
So don't believe anything you see anymore. You could have Alysson Janney up and the screen and she would have double D's.
beardo by J Skell	Aug 29th, 2007 04:57:48 PM
there's nothing wrong with it, but it's just my perferred method of doing it. I think quotes around movie titles just kind of look ugly on the page. And usually the accepted practice in film essay writing is to use the caps... That is all.
Smokin Aces was by skimn	Aug 29th, 2007 06:55:35 PM
a Ritchie wannabe. And a waste of a decent cast. This looks to be the real deal. And c'mon, a gunfight in freefall? Looks fun.
Biomind, July just called.... by GrandMuffTarkin	Aug 29th, 2007 07:41:22 PM
...it wants its news item back.
CHILDREN OF FUCKING MEN by rhcp2sweet	Aug 29th, 2007 08:38:24 PM
that hasn't been said on these boards in a while
Clive Owen... by beardo	Aug 29th, 2007 09:46:39 PM
Is good, but not in Christian Bale's league. As far as the guns themselves go, are they modeled more or less realistically (ie they don't fire forever before running out of ammo) or are they Hard boiled infinite ammo style weapons?
MoM by skimn	Aug 30th, 2007 09:36:44 AM
Wasn't referring to Narc, just Smokin Aces. In fact style-wise the two films couldn't be farther apart. Whereas Narc was a gritty character study, the violence erupted from the characters past. Smokin Aces was over extended gunplay with "colorful" characters. And after checking Rotten Tomatoes I noticed that almost all critics referenced Ritchie and especially Tarantino in their negative reviews. Lets just say we agree to disagree. I am curious to see what Carnahan follows this up with, though.
Smokin' Aces is not an action film by TequilaMocking	Aug 30th, 2007 11:29:36 AM
There is five minutes of action in the entire movie. There's no arguing that.
MoM are you Carnahan? by Bloo	Aug 30th, 2007 06:02:11 PM
I don't know if you're reading this or not dude, but yes I can look PAST (not pass, but it's an easy grammitical error and one I really shouldn't be picking on because my grammer and spelling sucks, but I digress). A lot of my favorite char. in movies are scumbags, but there is a level to them that makes me want to root for them. Maybe it's not "sympathy" per se, but I didn't want anyone to live in that movie, I couldn't care less about anyone, not the 2 FBI agents, not Buddy Isreal, not any of the assisans. And don't tell me they were all deserved to die blah blah blah, Carnahan tried to make you feel for Alicia Keys lesbian char. and oh she's not so bad, she's just with a bad person, she's found true love now. I didn't care. I didn't care with ryan rynolds went all crazy at the end, didn't care, didn't want to care. I'm not saying it was a badly made film or that Carnahan doesn't have talent, I'm just saying I personally couldn't see what was so special about Smoking Aces. Maybe I need to go back and rewatch it away from the hype.
