Check out Oldboy or Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, those are pimp foriegn flicks.
His other good movies that have been mentioned aside, Nic Cage is also good in Bringing Out the Dead. The rest of his stuff I could take or leaveā¦ mostly leave.
I donāt really like him much, but he has delivered in some movies.
there was a preview for Hellboy 2 in front of the strangers. I liked (didnt love) the first one (didnt feel the need to see it more than once) and I dont follow the comics and so havent given a crap about the sequel up to this point but man, that trailer kicked some fucking ass. It looked like what a D&D movie should be, like a sequel to Legend or something. Def looking forward to it now.

Hellboy 2 looks awesome. Hopefully it does not get released in competition with The Dark Knight which would make it fail.
I just watched Charlie Wilsonās War and Rambo 4. Charlie Wilsonās War was good but I didnāt like Julia Roberts at all in it. Rambo 4 had its moments but the woman was annoying.
i saw The Incredible Hulk randomly today
I was in NYC and walking past a theater and they were like ANYONE WANT TO SEE INCREDIBLE HULK. The guy said Edward Norton was going to be there to answer questions after but he never showed up so instead the 2nd (he was actually the third unit but they donāt use that term for some reason) unit director talked to us for a little. Plus they made us fill out a survey that took forever at the end and they wanted complete sentences not just rate this on a scale from 1 to 5.
The movie was kind of blah, but Iām not a big comic book movie guy (I do like comic books, but not marvel/dc superhero super popular stuff theyāve been coming out with for the past couple of years, i like comic book movies like Darkman - tho i think this came out the same time as the movie, Road to Perdition, Howard the Duck, Timecop, etc.). The action scenes were pretty cool, but I actually preferred the first one because it had an actual story. The Hulk looked pretty neat though, but I think Iām at a point in my life where Iām not amazed by good CGI anymore if its not backed by a good story and this one didnāt have a good story.
Think Iām becoming a film āsnobā because Iāve completely given up on most USA mainstream movies and now Iām just straight to DVD and foreign films.
oh yea also, has tobe hooper ever directed a good movie since salemās lot (in 1979)??
i watched the toolbox murderers remake recently and i was thinking about it and i donāt think he has
poltergeist shouldnāt count since apparently speilberg directed most of it
guy has made a career off of one good movie
I just watched this French movie called Inside
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ajq9VwfU_Ss - trailer
This movie is fucked up with tons of gore, almost as worse as Hostel and Saw series.
toolbox murders was pretty horribleā¦but the original is basically a piece of shit too (although at least in a grimey grindhouse way). I always liked Invaders From Mars when I was a kidā¦
I watched The Cottage last nightā¦very enjoyable, better than Shaun of the Dead in some respects. Wish they would have had a little more budget for the gore stuff and monster makeup, and the ending left a little to be desired but otherwise very solid.
Hypergear - read the last 3 pages of this threadā¦we have been talking about INSIDE foreverā¦and how can you say ALMOST as worse as Hostel? Hostel 1 and 2 had almost no gore, hell put all 6 of those movies together and you probably still dont reach the splatter quotient of Inside.
ya i feel the same, the first trailer i did not really care for, but the 2nd trailer made me go aight, ill see this and i didnt even particularly care for the 1st movieā¦
im outi
Roberth
lost boys 2 coming to blu ray!!!
Oh Lawd!
Lost Boys is one of my favorite movies of all time so I hope this is good, Billy Wirth was the fucking hottest guy in that movie
speaking of vampires, anyone interested in that Twilight movie?
I never read the booksā¦but it looks cool
the way this reads, itās like you are sayign salemās lot is the only good movie tobe hooper madeā¦which i know you canāt eblieveā¦now since salemās lot? i dunnoā¦i agree you canāt count poltergesit since it is opbviously a speilberg filmā¦
oh wasnāt TCSM before Salemās Lot?
i thought those were his only two good movies, but yea i meant since he made salemās lot he hasnāt made anything good not that salems lot was his only good thing
though i did like his segment in Body Bags,his episode of āTakenā, his episode of Tales from the Crypt, and his episode of Freddyās nightmare
maybe heās better as a TV director where he probably has less freedom
yeah, his body of work outside of tcm is pretty unknown to meā¦i mean, i love poltergeist, but we all know who really made thatā¦plus, as iāve stated before, i am not the best person to judge the horror genreā¦iām not a huge fan of itā¦
Yea I meant to say how much gore that movie had beyond belief. Not sure why I said āalmostā. Well gonna go checkout Frontier(s), heard is not as bloody as INSIDE but still worth the watch.
frontier(s) wasnāt that great IMO. i ended up seeing it after everyone in the hitman special features praised it
awesome theyāre bringing lost boys 1 too

This may be against the grain, but do any of you prefer not to have 1,001 behind-the-scenes / making-of featurettes of movies? Like, it sorta takes some of the āmagicā away from the illusion of this fictional world, etcā¦ Sorta like how once you learn how a magic trick is performed, it just isnāt as exciting anymoreā¦
dunno you donāt have to watch them, though its funny to watch the deleted scenes where theyāre walking in front of a green screen because they never did the cgi for it
iām against boring special features like oh this (director/actor/producer) is so great to work with like everyone is
i wish there was more technical ones, most of the time you have to listen to the directors commentary to get that
like if you ever seen sunshine, i always thought they made pinbacker blurry in post production, but they did it right there with 2 cameras and a mirror - that was pretty cool cause now i can recreate it
Actuallyā¦itās one of the few things I prefer in a DVD.
I like to know how the movie was brought to life as told by the people who were involved. For meā¦it makes me appreciate the movie more.
