Sturgess is the Man by JerseyJedi08	Mar 8th, 2008 02:24:07 PM
Just caught Across the Universe 2 weeks ago and he was pretty fantastic. I really do hope he clicks with the American audience.

Anyone see the Quint review pop up? by Kingdaddy	Mar 8th, 2008 02:54:49 PM
It was about the word cunt. Jane Fonda didn't appear. Did I just hit a 15 second wormhole?

"hot" MIT girls exist in theory more than practice. MIT, like Rice, are anti-poon vortexes. But the stories about the MIT Blackjack teams are extremely cool. Imagine being a college student who goes to meet a professor every Friday, just to be handed several hundred thousand cash in a paper bag and some plane tickets. Then gamble, gamble, gamble all weekend. Sweet.
That Righteous Kill trailer by dr sauch	Mar 8th, 2008 03:52:20 PM
Was fucking sweet. I know everyone here has not liked it so far, but they have my 10 bucks. Just that first scene when DeNiro tells the lawyer "when you get outside, watch your back" sold me. It will prob be stupid, but so fucking what? Pacino, DeNiro, and 50 Cent FTW!
21 looks absolutely AWFUL... by superduper3000	Mar 8th, 2008 04:50:45 PM
Seriously, you'd have to pay me to see 21...and you'd be lucky if I didn't just sneak into another movie anyway. Looks like CRAP!! Bob Marley Biopic! http://tinyurl.com/3apz6p
Righteous Kill trailer looks almost as awesome as... by Tourist	Mar 8th, 2008 04:56:00 PM
...15 minutes or 88 minutes! Nah, seriously, doesn't look as awful as I was expecting. Just looks like a generic mid budget boring cop thriller made to fill DVD shelves. Nice way to anally rape a good song too.
true Tourist... by Stevie Grant	Mar 8th, 2008 05:01:59 PM
but I'll still fork over ten bucks to watch Pacino and Deniro (I love Heat and hope for the best)
I knew they'd fuck up 21 by jabbayoda	Mar 8th, 2008 06:27:26 PM
The trailer was an exercise in douchebag exhibitionism.
DOOGIE HOWSER!!!! by skywalkerfamily	Mar 8th, 2008 06:58:06 PM
OMG!
What's with Bosworth & Spacey pairing up?? by CarmillaVonDoom	Mar 8th, 2008 07:27:24 PM
What, 3 movies in 4 years? Real fucking odd couple!
does superman stalk them? by ironic_name	Mar 8th, 2008 11:35:51 PM

say what. . . ? by silentdrowning	Mar 9th, 2008 12:07:50 AM
I have to reserve judgment on Sturgess. Across teh Universe was a candy coated shell of a film; who didn't come across sexy and skilled singing Beatles tunes with a Taymor backdrop?
I would like to see... by TheWacoKid	Mar 9th, 2008 11:04:42 AM
documentaries that have no slant, but show both sides of the story once in a while. I understand that a lot of documentaries are made because of a slant, but I get sick of all of these that have an extreme slant toward a belief and give us a barrage of facts that might or might not be true. (In Michael Moore's case, mostly not true). I want to see a good documentary that let's the viewer decide what is right or wrong, not the filmmaker. Years ago there was a great one done that I saw on HBO about animal testing. It was fantastic. It showed the bad and good in animal testing, and did not lean toward a side, but had great points for both. I hope that we get good ones that spark debate, but does not spew facts at us just so we can agree with the person who made them. Until then, count me out.
Good point, Waco, but by Garbage	Mar 9th, 2008 01:53:52 PM
"unbiased" documentaries almost never get standing ovations at film festivals. And to be quite honest, I prefer a slant, because it prevents me having to think for myself.
21... by Juggernaut125	Mar 9th, 2008 04:35:04 PM
Saw this years ago here in Canada when it was called 'The Last Casino'. Only this one starred Katherine Isabelle (who is YUMMY!!!) Fun story. I bet TLC is better than 21.
