The fact that they’re remaking Karate Kid is outrageous and unacceptable.
i would have liked my bloody valentine if it had more killing, like there was too much talking and nothing happening for a 3d movie…but the 3d effects did look cool…

The problem isn’t the remakes. The Jackal (stupid 1997 movie) won’t ever upstage The Day of the Jackal (1973 kickass spy yarn) for example. So make all the shitty remakes for all I care. My problem is there are only remakes and barely any originality. With a niche of exceptions, it’s damn near a lost decade creatively speaking.
1997 Jackal was the shit. not because it was a good movie or anything, but because Jack Black got destroyed. that’s the only reason i bought it. i don’t ever want to see good things happen to Jack Black on film.
Fuck, that was Jack Black wasn’t it? I haven’t seen that movie in ages.
I remember walking in on that movie and saying “Is that Jack Black?” That’s my entire experience with that movie. I LOVE Day of the Jackal, so I refused to watch a hollywood remake.
PG - How is the F13 remake? I was never a fan of the movies, but I’m interested in your take on the new one.
I REALLY want them to stay away from Tzameti. That was such an awesome film and it just came out in 2005! Do we need to remake a film not even five years old yet?
I just can’t believe Spielberg is planning on remaking Oldboy with Will Smith…
that was a foreign film…that’s a whole other category and has nothing to do with when the original was released
im going to go see it tonight ill let you know what i thought…

Anyone else see frost/nixon? Haven’t seen anyone mention it and it’s easily the best film of 08 next to TDK IMO.
I find them feminine sir.
friday the 13th remake was pretty bad imo…REALLY cheesy and nothing redeeming…i went into the movie thinking it would be pretty serious and badass but it was none of that so maybe that is why i thought it was bad…naw fuck it, it was bad regardless…
it was entertaining but bad…
and ya i mentioned frost nixon before and that it was mad good…
my top 10 movies for 08 were…
Milk
Frost/Nixon
Slumdog Millionaire
Body of Lies
The Fall
In Bruges
Revolutionary Road
Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Mongol
The Dark Knight
this is out of a list of 53 movies ive seen in 08…some pending movies would be, martyrs, actually that is probably the only pending movie that might push its way into the top 10…

I didn’t see nything last year…I saw Iron Man, and TDK in the theaters and that’s about it. Me and the wife keep talking about going to the theaters, but life seems to get in the way…
…so does my laziness…
I thought Mongol was horrible. Felt like they ended right when it was getting good.
why did martyrs get delayed again, i bet weinstein owns the us video rights without even checking
my top 10 no order would be:
cloverfield
sarah marshall
speed racer
pineapple express
vicky christina barcelona
appaloosa
rachel getting married
repo!
dance of the dead
the wrestler
and if heath ledger wins best supporting actor over phillip seymour hoffman for doubt the oscars are rigged
oh and the butterfly effect 3 should win an award for this movie should suck but for some reason its good.
its one of the horrorfest 09 movies which aren’t that bad this year. best year for them IMO
It’s pretty good.
Which F13’s did you like more?
Just say Blindness recently, do not watch people. This movie made me want to hulk smash everything around me due to the frustration it caused me. Although there are a lot of real life elements in there that are very plausible.
which friday the 13th isnt cheesy though
they follow no storyline and make no sense
if you’re a big fan though recently i watched all the movies then read the chapters in the book crystal lake memories
its pretty interesting
the new dvd his name was jason is pretty good too
