Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Ive been watching a ton of old westerns on netflix instant. They have a huge assortment of old Bill Elliott, Roy Rogers, Alan Lane, as well as some John Wayne films in there. Dont forget about the good ol spaghetti westerns as well. Good ones in instant, as well as a hot as flaming hell Raquel Welch in 100 Rifles. Roy Rogers though, is my favorite by far. Great films, even though most of them are only 55 - 70 minutes long. Those old matinee preshow westerns!!!!!!!!

[quote=los panda;881939]i liked driver as well. some parts really bothered me until i remembered that it was based on a book. one part that really [B]bothered me was after he hit hellboy's car there was no visible damage to his. both of his headlights were still shining.[/B] the soundtrack was amazing, and the character reminded me of the character from gta3.[/quote]

yeah I watched it last nite and noticed that too,especially as hard as he hit that car his car would have been lucky to still be driveable.Didnt care for the ending either

Anyone see Chronicle this weekend? Been thinking about seeing it next weekend but I wanna get some reviews on it first. A friend of a friend said it was pretty good.

Just saw it tonight. It was okay. Big on special effects, small on storyline. It had no sense of direction. The telekinesis was kinda cool though.

Thought it was pretty awesome especially after finding out it was done on a $12 million budget. As a loner in high school I definitely could see myself in the shoes of the main character Andrew. This is also the first movie I've seen from the first person/ hand held camera style that I enjoyed.

I did enjoy how they blurred the lines between protagonist/antagonist in the movie. I found myself rooting for the main character at first it by the end of the movie it was obvious he needed to go.

As much as I love Batman and can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises, I need May 4th to get here with the quickness. I lost my shit when I saw the smaller trailer during the game, especially the team shot, but this minute plus trailer even further amped me up:

i might see that in the theater. they couldn't afford norton but they bagged renner. all these heroes were before my time. i really like the iron mans with downey jr. but the hulks (bana's far worse than norton's) were bad. captain america wasn't any better. thor was worse. but i'm a sucker for superheroes, we'll see

Norton wasn't because of money but instead "creative differences" ie in an interview he tried to take primary credit for the writing on the movie and was a handful on the set. I really dug captain America cuz tht was one of the hardest super heroes to pull off and it worked for me. And I love the castin of Renner as Hawkeye and ruffalo is A great choice for banner/hulk

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

if he was willing to put his creative differences aside for the hulk, he would have done the same for this fiesta. they couldn't afford downey jr and norton, downey jr was essential to this movie while norton was not. i can see creative differences being a problem in something like primal fear or american history x but not something like the avengers.

I saw the trailer to The Hunger Games, wow just lame it looks like a Sci Fi Channel original movie. Pretty good books that look like they are going to be awful on the big screen.
