[quote=Redskins8588;660253]The director did such a good job on syncing the movie with the graphic novel. They truly held the movie in check with the book. I loved the fact that they didn't hollywoodize the graphic novel to cram it into 2 hours. Like mredskins stated the read is just as good. Ever since reading the book I read as much of Alan Moore as I can.

Another graphic novel I am waiting for to be made into a movie or series on HBO, showtime, or some other pay channel is a series by Garth Ennis calle "Preacher" totally awsome and totally messed up. A story about a bastard child of an angle and demoness, a drunken vampire and a preacher in search of God to find out why he abandoned heaven...[/quote]

Its gonna be a movie with Paul Bettany and I think it comes out in August.

I can't wait for "The Walking Dead" which will be airing on AMC and is being directed by Frank Durabont who also directed Shawshank Redepmtion, The Green Mile, and The Mist. I wish it was gonna be done by HBO to match the grittyness of the books, but I've heard that late night AMC shows sometimes get away with things you can't do on primetime.

[quote=mredskins;660312]Even if I was 10 I would think that movie is shit.[/quote]

Actually he has done a couple, Pacifier(113 million) and Gameplan(90 million from the earlier link), which were in the same style. Fairly good clean comedy that a family can watch . Certainly its not targeted for the blood and guts type crowd.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I just saw they are doing a movie version of the A-Team, I wonder how that one will turn out.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

^ Seen both of them Pacifier and Gameplan. they were good for a clean laugh but the Tooth fairy one just looks horrible.

Watched Stepbrothers again last night. So damn funny. When they show up for the janitor interview in tuxedos... priceless. "Actually, we'll be interviewing as a team. We're here to f*ck sh*t up." LOL

That movie is called "Priest" I read the plot and its not the same as Preacher, in Preacher he is buddies with the vampire in the story...

This will give a good insight to what it is all about... Trust me the hardcore Christans will be upset with this when they discover that in the story that a secret group of Christans kept the bloodline of Christ a straight line by in-breeding the offspring....

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw Paranormal Activity this weekend, thought it was ok, kinda sticks with you after for a while though.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Just watched Law Abiding Citizen. I liked it enough that I feel I'm probably gonna buy it on dvd just because it was good enough for me to watch again and again. I thought the plot was really good and I've always liked Gerard Butler (mostly from 300) and Jamie Foxx on the big screen.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Edge of Darkness was surprisingly good... more cerebral than I thought it would be, but the action is definitely cool.

Looking forward to Shutter Island this week!
