I think I'm going to see Guardians of the Galaxy because it's getting lots of good buzz and because I'd never heard of Guardians of the Galaxy before this movie. I like Vin Diesel, too. He's perfect for the kind of roles he gets. I'm going to wait for a rainy day though. We're in the midst...

That's flatly untrue. Go back and watch them again. He drives fast while people are shooting arrows at his vehicles and trying to hit him with various obects, and he crashes a couple of times. He gets hurt when he crashes. Fair enough. Speeding up a shot isn't the same as defying gravity...

I liked that one too. And LA Confidential, of course. And Master and Commander, and 3:10 to Yuma...I usually like his movies.

I don't hate CGI either, but everything has it's proper time and place. The Mad Max movies - especially the first two - have an innate realism to their style and action because somebody actually did everything you see happen. It may not have been Mel Gibson himself, it may have been a stunt...

That would be hilarious! It's probably slightly less likely than "GTA Milwaukee."

I agree. Nobody who went to see The Road Warrior was expecting Joyce's Ulysses. The story is little more than a simple Trojan Horse in reverse, but it's coherent and logical, and most importantly it's a perfect vehicle for post-apocalyptic wasteland road combat between crazy characters like...

I come at it from a slightly different perspective because I couldn't care less about comic books but I like movies. To paraphrase a review I read recently (sadly I don't recall the author or the movie), I wish they would stop making comic book movies for people who like comic books, and...

I think Disney has finally ruined Pixar. Brave was a mess with a mindless Disney template story, and I haven't seen any of the cash-cow sequels they've put out since. That said, there may be some hope if Brad Bird, who directed The Incredibles and Ratatouille, comes back to direct The...

L.A Confidential is really good. Rollo Tomassi. See also Chinatown (Jack Nicholson), The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep (Humphrey Bogart), and Harper (Paul Newman). You might also like Bullitt (Steve McQueen), although that's set in San Francisco. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

This is an excellent point. That's exactly what they're trying to do. In the 80s when there was no Netflix or anything like the kind of easy pro-theater distribution there is now, a movie had to be good enough that you'd be willing to pay to see it 2, 5, 10 times, or even more. Now it's the...

It's the lost art of filmmaking. Especially action filmmaking.

I didn't recommend it as anything, but it's a guilty pleasure flick to Atomkilla so some people have that reaction.

This is what happens when The Road Warrior meets shitty modern-day marketing, music, cinematography, and cultural propaganda.

Hmm...Van Helsing. Went to see that in a theater the summer it came out. I figured, "Kate Beckinsale, Hugh Jackman, vampires...this has to be entertaining, at least." To my surprise I found it really boring. It just never worked for me. I don't hate it, but after I saw it I never really...

The lust was there.

Well, the director is her husband, so there's that...

Sounds to me like you understand Underworld perfectly. And Van Helsing too. Kate's quite cute in the Kenneth Branagh version of Much Ado About Nothing. She was pretty young then.
