HBO should have it in about 6 months.  They are showing the trailer which means that they will also show the movie.

Funk, he is floating down that hallway because the car he is sleeping in is falling off a bridge.

Make sense?

Possibly not!

[Palpatine Q]

'The Book of Eli' was a similar genre as 'The Road'...post apocalyptic with bands/tribes of Mad Max-ish desperate unmerciful violent cannibals.
 
Book of Eli had a better storyline and was more optimistic.

The Road:   budget: $25 Million   Domestic gross $8 Million     Worldwide: $26 million
Book of Eli:  budget  $80 Million   Domestic gross $95 Million   Worldwide: $155 million  

Saw them both, liked them both.

The Road was a more stark, unforgiving movie, Book of Eli was way more Hollywood, but a good effort.

 No gravity.
  I fight scene inside  a dream, inside a dream. that's happening inside another dream  with no gravity.  f*cking cool.



  Taking from the beginning, they are sleeping inside a 747.( 1 level dream)
  Dreaming that they're inside a van that is falling.(2 level dream)
  That's why there's no gravity. ( 3 level dream)

 What would happen if the plane when down? you know  free falling?
 How that would affect the third level dream?

Gracie, wasn't level three the snow battle scenes?

Shit, now I am feeling dumb just discussing this.

Yes, we should just stick to discussing oiled men in thongs.

Hey, while we're on this subject, here's an added attraction some of you may want to read and make your own additions to it....

These are some upcoming movies I’m looking forward to seeing and some movies I ain’t…..

I wanna see:

M.Night’s Shama …something…. The Devil: About five people stuck in a high rise elevator with the devil and the resulting consequences. I want to see this even though he hasn’t made a good movie since the one with the dead Bruce Willis guy. And I do plan to figure out who the devil is before his ID is disclosed in the movie. I'm pretty good at doing that as it usually turns out to be one of the stars whose name is above the title.

The Social Network or another very long movie title: A movie about the guys who created FaceBook and all the background you want to know but were afraid to ask.

Eat, Pray. Love …… I have no idea what this one is all about but I like Julia Roberts and I have a feeling that this one will be a tear-jerker whick will tear my heart apart.

Nowhere Boy … a story about the Beatles or one of the Beatles or one of the guys who lost the chance to be one of the  Beatles. I never was a Beatle fan so this is a chance to catch up.

Valhalla Rising – A mute Scandinavian savage known only as "One Eye" escapes his captors and begins the long journey home, only to find himself lost in an unknown land full of GetBiggers. I like these kind of find yourself stories but I have heard that the movie ends before he actually finds himself. I’m curious to see if it all works out for the guy who had a miserable existence while in the earlier phases of his life. Plus it’s Swedish (I think) and I’m Swedish too.

Charlie St Cloud … About a brother who loses his younger brother  in a car accident and still plays baseball with him (or something like that). I read the book and hated it but I wanna see if and how they make the movie better.

Dinner for  Schmucks … An up-and-coming executive receives his first invitation to his boss' "dinner for idiots," a monthly event that promises bragging rights to the exec that shows up with the biggest buffoon. Looks good and I like it when dumb people are portrayed by smart actors in a funny movie. It sounds like an average evening meal around my house when I was just a kid.

I don’t wanna see but will probably see the following anyway:

Machete: Double crossed and forced to run from the cops, Machete, a renegade Mexican Federale and tough-as-nails vigilante for justice, is out to settle the score. These tough as nail guy movies bore the shit out of me for some reason. Maybe I’ve just seen too many of them where they can dodge a million bullets without shitting in their pants but never brag about it.

The Expendables - A group of mercenaries is hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator, but find themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal.   Ditto as above! These old farts ought to move aside and give the new kids a chance to dodge bullets and maybe even shit their pants in the process. At least let them try to make it look real for Pete’s sake.

FinalNote: There’s a prison movie coming out of Sweden or one of those Norwegian places that has Hollywood talking, but I forgot the They  title of that film. Any GetBig movie fans have any idea of what movie that one is? HINT -The actors are the actual prisoners except for the lead actor. Some claim it is too much like Un Prophet (The Prophet) which I think was one hell of a great movie.

[GRACIE JIU-JITSU]

Gracie, wasn't level three the snow battle scenes?

Yes. My mistake he was preparing the kick on the second level dream.

[stuntmovie]

BTW, Only Me (Good Old Only Me!) is one of the guys who was involved with "Dinner For Schmucks" but I'll let him tell you that story!

No, you assholes! He was not one of the Schmucks! (Could have been a good one though!)

Is a Shmuck related to a Smurff .... which will also be showing at your neighborhood theater soon. Only would have been a great Smurff too.

And ask Only to tell you about Meet the Fookers. I never met them or seen that one either when it first came out but I'll be looking real close in every scene when this next one arrives.

[Megalodon]

A potentially good movie coming out in 2011 is Rise of the Apes. I believe it parallels Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, which means it's a prequel to the original 1968 POTA.

The apes are slated to be CG. I'm uncertain if the whole movie is. I don't think Avatar style CG animation meshes 100% with real life filmed characters. The best I've seen as far that goes was District 9, but those weren't very human-like, so there's less scrutiny.

It will be director Rupert Wyatt's 2nd film. He made a prison break movie called the Escapist that is worth seeing.
It has a non linear story which is interesting throughout.

I wasn't to keen on Tim Burton's remake of the original  POTA although he obviously delivers on a lot of his other movies.

Are you having one too many martinis right now? 

[Stark]

STARK, where the hell did you find that video scene!?

Damn!  You brought it back to fuck me up once again, cause I know I'm gonna have to watch it just to see if it's the sickening scene I mentioned earlier.

I hate ya! But thanks anyway!

No can you find that Fly one!?

oh no problem I just checked it out on youtube its easy to find, but yes i got that feeling back when I watched this the first time, very very
moving and EXTREMLY well acted.

Its mind boggling that some green behind the ears skinny jeans wearing metro sexual pussy who plays a completely forgettable scene in a completely
overhyped and equally forgettable vampire movie can be somewhat compared to such legends as newman, I mean how can you even
talk about the new actors who have NOTHING going for them self apart a nice face and body which strong and talented actors like newman and de'neiro.
Forget it.
In fact I would like to go even futher, at least with strong actors in the past a man was somewhat portrait like I personaly feel a man should be portrait, strong but not an asshole.

[mazrim]

Saw them both, liked them both.

The Road was a more stark, unforgiving movie, Book of Eli was way more Hollywood, but a good effort.

Agreed. I liked "The Road" better simply because I thought the acting was better along with it made me "feel"/become more emotionally involved than "Eli". Both were good though.

[mazrim]

Opinion is opinion, we're all different, we all have different taste, and we like different movies.....  I'm a huge movie buff (My home collection is 300+ maybe 400,

I couldn't find 100 movies that I liked well enough to buy.
If you have 300-400 movies, to me, you are more of a follower/groupie who really just likes everything so your opinion is somewhat....you don't really have one...

LOL, you make a good point.

No seriously, I dunno if I'm a groupie, there a lot movies that I like, and a lot movies that I highly dislike, there are also movies that I just won't watch cause they will scare me - no seriously, I don't own much horror cause I freak out - lame but true.

I've been collecting buying movies for over 10 years, its one of my past times.  In the realm of movies and true movie collections  - 400 is nothing!  Just cause you can't think of 100 movies that you'd like to buy, doesn't mean thats the consumer standard.  Think of it as a hobby of mine!


Some of the movies I own are very mainstream, some are a little more deep, and some are very dumb.  I get what I enjoy, has nothing to do with being a follower, did you miss the part that I rarely read movie reviews and decide on myself.

And yes Bay I do agree many critics actually have the background and experience to judge many aspects on movies that we tend to miss out, but I prefer choosing for myself thats all really.

[Devon97]

Just got back from Inception. Hated it

Reminded me of the Matrix, which I also hated. very hard to follow and got sick to my stomach from vertigo from the screen shaking so much

[Ex Coelis]

best movie I've seen in years - brilliant story and killer effects

if you didn't like the movie it's probably because you couldn't keep up

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore might be more your speed . . .

[stuntmovie]

Magalodon, How do you know about Rise of the Apes already?

My family is up in Vancouver making that movie at this very moment and I will be heading up there in August and possibly visit the set to tell some original Planet of the Apes stories as some Marine Corps buds of mine played major part in that original production..

I think that the original title of this new one was called "Caesar".

Gonna star James Franco who was really great in The Pineapple Express ... another great movie that I really enjoyed.

Agreed right back....most movies I watch i forget i even saw them on the way home, very few movies these days stick with me.....especially the CG laden shit.

Expensive cartoons

[BIG ACH]

I'm looking forward to Rise of the apes!  Love that series!  Charlton Heston - classic!

[BIG ACH]

As I'm typing this, I'm currently watching Predator:  The Ultimate Hunter Edition on Blu Ray!!!  Just picked it up today, Arnold is always going to be the KING!!!

FUCKING AMAZING!

[stuntmovie]

Although various friends and family members have been involved with the Planet of the Apes series since it originated, I never was an Apes fan.

But the one scene I'll always remember was the beach scene in which Heston discovers the Statue of Liberty disclosing the fact this was all occuring on planet earth.

Are you aware that Quincy Taylor was one of the featured apes in the movie that starred Mark Wahlberg?

I spent a few hours in the make-up van watching the experts create the apes that looked pretty convincing in real life too. And a couple of those apes strangled me for a photographic memory.

Fun times watching them create that movie.

One of the greatest scenes ever in movie making history!
