Re: What movie are you watching?

I think I give the slight edge to Bourne Identity over Bourne Ultimatum. Only because Identity was the one that started it all. But it's extremely close.

Both were better than Bourne Supremacy.

That's good to know...I'm going to have to go see it now. I wasn't going to, I was going to wait until it came out on video.

Oh definitely don't wait for it to come out on video. This is as close to a must-see movie as there is.

I'm really shocked to hear so many people say this. I am certainly going to go see it now.
It's so hard to see a the third of any movie succeed.

Would you recommend we rewatch the rest of them before this one?

for me personally the second one had the potential to be better than the first because it had some awesome scenes, but I know I personally couldn't tell what the heck was going on during most action scenes because of the shoddy camera work shaking around so much.
has anyone here read any of the books?

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

The more I think about it, the more I think Bourne Ultimatum was the best of the three. And also, Matt Damon movies are starting to become must-sees. He's had quite a run now with The Departed, The Good Shepherd, now Bourne Ultimatum.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Why isn't Superbad on here? Judd Apatoff? Creator of great movies like the 40 year old Virgin and Knocked Up?

You know Superbad is gonna rake it in.

For me, it was like the complete opposite of the movies: it was boring; it seemed pointless; and, again, it was boring. Aside from the basic premise and some of the characters' names it was very different than the movie, which is sometimes okay, but not in this case.

Re: Getting ready for an awesome year of movies

kinda let this thread slip after all the work put into wrangling up those trailers but BSB's thread (http://www.redskinswarpath.com/parki...-watching.html) reminded me about it.
Theater wise:

Simpson's Movie: One of the funniest movies I've seen in a couple years for me. Had a lot of what made the show great about 5 or so years ago and then some with some comedic freedom allowed by the PG-13 rating. I think one of the coolest parts of the movie was during the credits where it showed who did the voices for which characters. All I got to say is Hank Azaria is the man.

Bourne Ultimatum: One of the best action flicks in the last decade. I love James Bond, but Bourne would crush him. It was a nice wrap up to the series as Matt Damon has said he doesn't wish to continue playing the character. The movie also had one of the sweetest fight scenes and two of the coolest chase scenes in a movie in a while.

Can't wait to see Rush Hour 3 and Stardust next week and then Superbad, War, and Halloween later this month.

DVD wise:

The super gianormous release of recent weeks is of course 300. Anyone and everyone that hasn't seen this movie should be ashamed of yourselves. Although it doesn't have the strongest plot ever, the work put into the movie by the actors/actresses and the crew overcomes that one pothole to make one of the best action movies of all time. Anyone else lucky enough to have an HD-DVD player can actually have a feature turned on that shows in a small box in the corner, what was actually filmed in front of the blue screen to see the incredible amount of work that went into bringing the story to life.

Anyone who is a fan of Shaun of the Dead, I highly recommend atleast checking out Hot Fuzz. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are funny as hell again in this spoof on action movies with awesome co-stars like Timothy Dalton.

I'm looking forward to watching Disturbia and the special edition release of Flash Gordon this week and then Labyrinth special edition and ATHF next week.

and for anyone who didn't follow the San Diego Comic-Con coverage or just movie news in general here are a couple new trailers and teasers:

Batman: The Dark Knight= The Dark Knight Teaser Online! - ComingSoon.net
Beowulf= http://downloads.paramount.com/mp/be...iler_1_lrg.mov
National Treasure: Book of Secrets= Apple - Trailers - National Treasure: Book Of Secrets
No Country for Old Men= Apple - Trailers - No Country For Old Men - Trailer
Hitman= Apple - Trailers - Hitman - Trailer A
3:10 to Yuma= Apple - Trailers - 3:10 to Yuma
Shoot 'Em Up= Apple - Trailers - Shoot 'Em Up
10,000 BC= Apple - Trailers - 10,000 B.C. - Trailer 1
Get Smart= Apple - Trailers - Get Smart - Trailer 1
30 Days of Night= Apple - Trailers - 30 Days of Night
Eastern Promises= Eastern Promises trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies
We Own the Night= We Own the Night trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies
Lions for Lambs= Lions for Lambs trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies
American Gangster= Apple - Trailers - Universal Pictures - American Gangster

and if u can find the footage that Marvel had pulled off the net, the Iron Man trailer is sweet as hell with Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" song playing in the background.

American Gangster is a must see for me I think. Denzel and Crowe. Two of the best right there.

We Own the Night (another Mark Cuban movie) looks like it might be good as well.

Anyhow I'm going to merge this BSB's thread

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

The Bourne series has turned out to be a quality triology which is pretty rare these days.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Yeah bourne was fantastic. I loved every minute of it. I'm going to be seeing the midnight show for rush hour 3 tonight


Back in the day, The Rush HOurs ruled. The last one came out when i was just a kid. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this one. I am so happy it is here. Rush hour 2 picked up where rush hour left off. I hope that Rush hour three can do the same. May very well be my favorite action comedy movie series ever. Only Bad Boys compare. Bad Boys III?

going to see that after work Sunday, but my buddies and I wanna see Stardust first which will be after work tomorrow night.
also, Flash Gordon brought back a lot of memories from my childhood and is highly recommended to anyone else who was a fan of movie back in the day.
