I'd love to see a big budget remake of The Shadow and The Rocketeer but I am not sure what they would do with those movies which I consider real gems. I love them.
What was the last film you watched?

Surprisingly I didn't watch a whole movie for a month. I was too busy with other motion pictures stuff.
Will like your best posts if I'm not out of likes.

Saw the new Fantastic Four movie tonight.
This is possibly the worst movie I've seen in the last two years. Definitely the worst movie I've seen this year.
I could go on at length at how it was a failure on pretty much every level, but I've been ranting about that on twitter for a while so I'd just be repeating myself.
Probably the best thing I could say about it is that it isn't the worst Superhero/comic book movie I've ever seen. Ghost Rider and Elektra are worse. But not by a wide margin.
And given the talent involved, there's no reason it should have been this bad.
I told everyone this is an unnecessary movie. The two F4 movie we already have are good Cheetos movies and they couldn't possibly make something better!
But Ghost Rider was awesome, the crazy cage acted well in it! The problem of the movie was something else.
Well I do not care!!!
I liked this a whole bunch. I am going to watch it again tomorrow.
I really did enjoy this movie 7/10
It has "JUPITER" in it, so it must be great!
Gonna watch it someday ...

I plan to watch The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Michael Bay edition where I hear everything explodes, even things that don't make sense.

We liked it. The casting, in particular, is spot on.

"Dedication"
2007 indie romantic comedy/drama directed by Justin Theroux (as in Mr Jennifer Aniston)
Billy Crudup plays a children's book writer whose collaborator (and only true friend) dies (played by Tom Wilkinson btw)
his publisher (Bob Balaban) forces him to work with a female illustrator (played by the ever charming and ludicrously hot Mandy Moore)
they have a month to finish a book
charismatic acting overcomes the cliche script and "aren't we edgy" camera work
Martin Freeman (as in Bilbo Baggins) plays Moore's off and on boyfriend

For myself, one of the best things about Star Wars was that it remembered that the characters were the main dish, and the FX were seasoning. So many films forget this, IMO.

Entertaining and informative.
This is about the Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley commentary on ABC during the Republican and Democratic nominating conventions for the 1968 presidential election. ABC news, lacking the finances of the other two networks, couldn't afford wall to wall coverage of the conventions, and so decided to try something new: pundit commentary. These two did not like each other, and things got heated fast. Never have I heard such vitriol from two such well spoken intellectuals.
As you can tell by current political coverage, it's all been downhill since
And now, I think I owe it to myself to go find Myra Breckinridge.

Agreed. Only issue is how to find a hotter brunette to play the Jen Connolly part

Not only that but a whole factory inside the atmosphere of Jupiter inside the great red spot.....
In this movie rich human families rule the universe and each owns several worlds which are used as farms.. Every time the population grows beyond the planet's capacity to maintain they harvest the humans as genetic material for this liquid that extends their lives, and they sell this stuff to other worlds..
The lead female played by Mila Kunis is the genetic reincarnation of the woman that owned Earth .. Only by the end of the movie she does jack sh*t with her new title and returns to life on Earth and a boring human job...

Harbinger Down....The trailer looked great. Lance Henriksen was in it. I was looking forward to it greatly. Then I watched it....it stunk.

A decent suspense drama, not quite a thriller. Rebecca Hall plays that everywoman character she's come to play so well, who is forced to question the character of her charming husband, when an old friend of his runs into them and intimates a hidden history of youth.
The characters were interesting, the revelations were unexpected, the resolution was way more creepy than I expected.

I always thought the Hunger Games was exaggerated. Having watched this film, I know that for certain. For me, this film is better than the Hunger Games
But I still prefer The Maze Runner; after that comes Divergent. Then comes the Hunger Games.

I've seen this one. Interesting enough, certainly better than Hunger Games or even Matrix.

I also liked seeing the male lead in Downton Abbey as the scandalous Prince that dies in the bedroom.

I liked the first 2 films in the series, but this one is horrible. The first 2 were found-footage, this one drops any and all pretense of being found-footage as soon as the camera begins to record from impossible angles and there are clearly edited cuts throughout each short, with music that plays throughout (not music being played in-universe, either, but theatrical score). This one is also notably shorter than the first 2, consisting of only 3 segments and clocking in at around 75 minutes (not counting the credits, which are 10 minutes in length by themselves). The premise of each segment is okay enough, but the characters are all pretty forgettable. One segment features these skater kids who are the most insufferable pieces of garbage to ever spawn from the human race.
VHS 2 is still the best IMO. This one is not at all scary, and the events that happen in each story don't seem to have any rhyme or reason as to why they happen. Granted, the first 2 didn't make a whole ton of sense either, but they at least tried to have some justification for why the characters were experiencing the things they were seeing. Here, it's just people with a camera who one day see spooky s**t and probably die.
The segment with the scientist discovering a parallel universe is the most interesting, but also the most retarded, interestingly.

Watched this movie again with my girlfriend after having not seen it in a long time. It's easy to forget now, but this movie caused a major s**tstorm when it was released in 1951. For many viewers at the time, watching an entire town's worth of people systematically abandon Sheriff Will Kane and leave him on his own against a gang of four notorious outlaws seemed like an indictment of the character of the American people. John Wayne specifically called the film un-American, and teamed with director Howard Hawks to make Rio Bravo, a direct response to High Noon and a film in which John Wayne's character can't get enough people to say 'no' to helping him out with the good fight. I have to admit that High Noon's bleaker vision rings more true for me.
In a way, the audiences of the day weren't wrong in seeing the film as an attack on the American character of the time. High Noon was an allegory for the ongoing investigations conducted by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), resulting in the blacklisting of many Hollywood figures on grounds of supposed communist sympathies. The film was an indictment of those who named names in an effort to get themselves off the hook, the cowardice of the townspeople mirroring the moral weakness of HUAC collaborators.
Add to all of this the fact that High Noon was one of the first major action pictures in which the protagonist is seen crying ("How unmanly!"), and you had a recipe for controversy. These controversies have largely waned as time has gone by, and the film seems quite tame by today's standards, but I think it holds up extremely well. Despite the 30-year age difference between Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly (her first major role), both are excellent as newlyweds Will and Amy Kane. The real time conceit is still effective in eliciting tension and establishing the stakes (without High Noon, there's probably no 24), and I even found myself humming that ballad to myself after the film was over. An all-time classic, still.

Rocketeer had a fair success back in the day, just about anything can get a reboot so I suppose it's not unheard of. Never seen the Shadow.I'd love to see a big budget remake of The Shadow and The Rocketeer but I am not sure what they would do with those movies which I consider real gems. I love them.
