Favourite films to look forward to in 2014

Had about an hour of driving between the trip to take the kids to grandma's and coming home. Occurred to me that the preview contains about 6* instances of Cranston saying [Oh god, no!] or variations of such. With your analysis, we may not be looking at Best Picture awards, nor Best Actor.

All that considered, while Godzilla may come from the deep, the scripts never have. Let's just hope we don't see anything to do with earthworm specialists. :pinch:

*EDIT- OK, only two, but there was a third one implied as the big door slams with his wife inside.

2. I hope you enjoy Snowpiercer. Worthy of a viewing, IMO. Check out 13 Sins since you like that genre as well. :)

1. My Godzilla does not lay eggs:@

2. Snowpiercer was better than expected... granted I had limited expectations... but for the comments of you and Piercerseth... seriously, 2013 was not a good year for film... but please, prove me wrong with more suggestions and yes... I will... 13 sins... in the near future.


Idol wrote re Godzilla... The director had a career as a visual effects person , the guy who wrote the script has zero experience and the man who wrote the story is responsible for The Expendables and the atrocity that is the movie version of Doom.
(If it were not for the steamy glare of Karl Urbans' fiery eyes... I could not watch it to its painful conclusion)

If you are banking on the cast somehow saving it then I should point out that before hitting with Argo,Cranston starred in John Carter,Red Tails, the Total Recall remake and Rock of Ages.
Yeah, this will be real good. (Oh God! No...)

I do find it sad that we have access to everything and still dig through the silt to find good tolerable entertainment...

That said, there's enough (as long as you avoid watching the preview) in 13 Sins to make it worthwhile.

Spider Man 2 is released, was waiting for it, will watch it soon. Only the cast is not what i expected, don' think that the people are good for spider man story

I have seen the trailers and they are a good representation of precisely what is wrong with movies these days.Ten second close-up of an actor giving some wank exposition followed by 50 seconds of CG gimcrackery.
For a moment I lost track if I was watching Spider Man or The Lone Ranger. :mellow:

is there a site that has when the movies in theaters will be coming out in DVD

transformers 4

XMEN:Days offuture past for me. Cant wait for that, but I am a bit of a geek when it comes to comics

Best film Ive seen recently, American Hustle, great story and great acting. I did enjoy pain and gain too. Not probably for everyone but I really enjoyed it.

Hoping to see Godzilla or X-Men this weekend. Both of those are on my list

Godzilla seemed to be good when i saw the trailer ... but it was the best scene of the movie and the entire stuff is very disapointing

A "blockbuster" released before the Memorial Day weekend.,who'd has ever guessed it wasn't good?

Also clearly standards aren't what they used to be when the guy giving the featured Godzilla review on IMDB says something like "the good popcorn fun of Pacific Rim?"
Wasn't that movie a steaming,nonsensical pile of shit or something with the only good thing about it being the music and the fact that it wasn't longer?

I hate to give out any spoilers, but the Breaking Bad tie in where they get Godzilla addicted to meth, then weaken him by cutting off his supply was brilliant. :yup: Granted, he did destroy half the city while he was high. :idunno:

Dumb & Dumber To. :)

The only question remaining is: Will Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson kiss at the end? :wub:

Sounds like Mad Max :The Road Warrior minus basically everything that was good or fun about that movie.

Hey now, you know if it were titled The RØver and starred Mads, you'd be all over it :P I'm hoping Pattinson shakes off his sparkly vampire bs and shows off some acting chops.

Oh no you didn't. :nono: You didn't just mention Mads and Pattinson in the same sentence. :angry::angry::angry:


RP had his chance to shine in Cosmopolis, where he played an emotionless Billionaire on his way to get a haircut. :mellow:


This made me laugh (a little bit, anyway)...

Last Saturday I just went to see "Maleficent" and I loved it!. I believe this is one of Angelina Jolie's best characterizations. Loved the "dark" and "good"side of the character and the music was really good, specially the song "Once Upon a Dream" sang by Lana del Rey.
I really like movies where they show you a possible other side of a classic version. They make you think
If you like this kind of movies, watch it and tell me what you think

I'm assuming the 18% positive are junket whores who will lend their name to anything for a free lunch.

In the past 3 minutes, it seems to have fallen to 17%. :pinch:

In your face,Snowpiercer.

In other news,somebody should seriously consider limiting the disposable income of 15 year olds and retards.

Hey Meg.Chef is suppose to be about food ,which you like and also really good.
The only downside that I see is that while it's about food,there doesn't seem to be any cannibalism involved.:(

Snowpiercer, Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi actioner starring Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton, made $162K from eight locations. “There’s no stopping this train. With some of the best reviews of the year and incredibly strong word-of-mouth

I'm thinking the exec who made this statement does not know the difference between a "k" and an "M" at the end of the number. :mellow:

He knows that "k" is what you spend on getting the best screenwriter possible and "M" is what you spend on blowing stuff up.

Anybody seen new planet of the apes movie? Looks pretty sweet!

I seriously just don't get movies that are nothing more than one long FX.
People deserve better than videogame cutscenes when they go to a movie.

OK,maybe not you.

I don't mind the use of animation for creating characters such as in PotA. The alternatives:

I never liked the fake look of the original series. Tim Roth was fantastic in his 2001 role; Michael Clark Duncan was memorable; Paul Giamatti and others weren't so much. The actors went through hours of makeup each day. Why would you feel that heavily latexed actors would be superior to animations based off of actors and/or (in this case) conceptualized animal movements?

Rejecting detailed, animated characters offhand is similar in nature to pointing out that backdrops look phony in older movies. Where these shows are failing is not in the use (or even overuse) of special effects, but in the failing to tell compelling stories.

Fake backdrops vs. fake people.http://filesharingtalk.com/asset.php...2&d=1404320551

Not sure how you've been posting pics lately, Idol, but this is the second in a row that won't show. I assume you posted something that makes the point that your words didn't. :idunnno:

As for the words: "fake" is relative, as I was saying. Goofy costumes vs heavy latex vs computer rigging. The latest (and it will get more realistic) generation of "apes" is the most "believable" of the 3 incarnations. I'm just not inclined to offhandedly say that is bad.

Might be somewhat promising afterall...

:D If it's really bad don't say anything and let me waste 90 min. Planning to watch it this evening. The criticisms on RT are strange.
