Watched the trailer.  I don't buy the premise at all and it doesn't look funny.

A Thousand Words

Last post on 03/13/12 at 12:39 AM CT by FilmCraveDude

Got
a chance to talk to actor Ariel Felix about his role in "A Thousand
Words." Here's what he said:

Tell me about your role in A THOUSAND WORDS

Ariel: I play a Jr. Agent
who has a couple of dealings with Eddie Murphy's character.  He plays
a high profile literary agent and it follows him after he stretches the truth
on a deal.  Aside from the film being funny, it holds a good lesson
on the consequences of every word we speak. And for the record, I …

FOR ONCE! they stuck to the original script i.e. the book! thats why this was the first movie that was good....

Bully (2012)

Last post on 03/03/12 at 01:16 PM CT by Unknown

That's one of my favorite documentaries.  This situation with 'Bully' is just a repeat of some of the stories in 'This Film Is Not Yet Rated'. 

American Psycho II: All American Girl

Last post on 02/21/12 at 01:48 PM CT by Chris Kavan

In terms of worst sequels this ranks somewhere between Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows and Speed 2 Cruise Control.

Safe House (2012)

Last post on 02/18/12 at 08:11 AM CT by LeeAnn M.

I am so glad I took the chance to see Safe House. It was not what I expected at all, and it proved that Denzel Washington's Oscar win was not a fluke. It seemed to be a mix between Training Day and Bourne Identity with all the action and car chases. The camera shaking is a little too much to take at times, but I guess that adds to the realism of the situations such as the fight scenes. For a February movie, Safe House really went beyond my expectations and turned out to be a very entertaining …

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Last post on 02/15/12 at 05:54 PM CT by LeeAnn M.

Exactly, Taz! I loved the original trilogy and passed that excitement for the films to my son, who has been hooked on Star Wars episodes I V, V,and VI since he was three. (At five, he's still too young to watch I, II, and III.) &nbsp ;I tried to with my daughter, but she just didn't "get it."  I don't think 3D will add anything to the whole series, but I would love to show my son the originals on the big screen, as he has so far seen them only in the livingroom …

Get the Gringo

Last post on 02/10/12 at 02:41 PM CT by Chris Kavan

It was called How I Spent My Summer Vacation, but for whatever reason, at least for the U.S. release, they changed the title. It also looks like it won't be getting a theatrical release here, either. I have a feeling the trailer highlights the comedy elements, but in the end it will be geared more towards action/drama (maybe similar to Payback?).

Haywire (2012)

Last post on 01/18/12 at 10:28 PM CT by Unknown

This is the first film of 2012 that I am more than looking forward to seeing.  All the elements at play here just seem right: from director, to cast, to pretty much everything else.  Plus, I favor these types of action movies.  I'll post my review sometime this weekend, after I see it.

We Are What We Are ( Somos lo que hay )

I agree, I watched the subbed version and it's pretty good. It's a spanish flick.Be sure to post a review on it. :)

The Adventures of Tintin

I'd agree that it's worth a big screen watch.

Prelude to a Kiss

Last post on 12/31/11 at 12:51 AM CT by Tammy

I liked the way this flick can intimately portray both the wonderful retardation of new love (without the standard, overdone, graphic sex scene) and the very private dance of despair and disillusionment.  Homophobic men will not be fond of this flick, I know.  Generally, I'd say it's a chick flick. 

Elysium

Last post on 12/30/11 at 05:17 PM CT by Chris Kavan

It almost comes out on my birthday (in 2013) - but it's so far out, the release date could be moved up. I have faith - Blomkamp really was a breath of fresh air - I hear he's going to continue the District 9 in sequels down the line (though Elysium is apparently an original idea and not part of that story). I'm interested to see what he can do - with Hollywood continuing to churn out mass amounts of sequels and reboots, I like people who can come up with something original. 

Mr. Popper's Penguins

Last post on 12/28/11 at 12:41 PM CT by Chris Kavan

The last movie I saw Jim Carrey in was Yes Man - which is a pretty mediocre comedy all-around (even if it is one of the few films to feature good old Nebraska). His choices recently seem all over the place: I Love You Phillip Morris is decidedly different from A Christmas Carol. And the less said about The Number 23, the better. He's very inconsistent - I have nothing against him personally, but I don't understand his process for choosing roles anymore.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

Last post on 12/24/11 at 05:47 PM CT by Unknown

I had never read the books, or watched the original films, but I genuinely enjoyed this film.  I think that most other film fans will appreciate it and most of the mainstream audience will be turned off.  There isn't really a middle ground with this kind of movie.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

@jutincamp  Funny you say that, because I never saw one good review for this film.  The only people who would say anything positive about this are the fans.

swades looks lengthy. but it is heart touching, nicely performed with great music. 

Kites ( Brett Ratner Presents Kites: The Remix )

kites , is a worst movie for hrithik roshan. he can improve his skills, by takign wiser scripts. 

Double Dhamaal

Last post on 12/22/11 at 01:15 AM CT by sreekirch

double dhamaal may not be dhamaal. but it is neat comedy movie. Story is normal, but the screenplay is witty and interesting. 

Killer Elite (2011)

Last post on 12/21/11 at 10:43 PM CT by sreekirch

“May the best man live”, as the
tagline in the movie, gives the fact that there are going to be a lot of
killings and assassinations. Killer Elite is directed by, Gary Mckendry, an Oscar
nominee, who is famous for taking Irish movies. Now he brings killer elite,
based on the novel “The Feather Men” by Sir Ranulph Fiennes. With writing work
from Matt Sherring, and based on the original novel adaptation, the movie stars
Robert de niro and Jason Statham in the main leads. This movie …

Haunted Poland ( Nawiedzona Polska )

Last post on 12/20/11 at 06:50 PM CT by Hansen

This is a great film for found footage lovers.It's no so much "found", but a tape of a couple with their documented trip to Poland, from the sex to the horror...

The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

Last post on 12/06/11 at 12:37 PM CT by Chris Kavan

I've been meaning to address a gap in my filmic experience up to this point: I really need to see some silent classics. I will have to add this to my list - along with Metropolis and Nosferatu.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Last post on 11/30/11 at 11:03 PM CT by Unknown

If you think about it, all of the Mission Impossible films are over-the-top action.  None of the action in them is grounded in reality, yet we accept it as part of the story because it's all meant as the usual escapism.  And generally with sequels, the action gets bigger anyway.

Hugo

Tomorrow! 11-23-11 for those not only a daily schedule. I'm still not sure if Scorsese can pull off "whimsical" - just between you, me and anyone reading this post - I'd rather watch The Muppets.

The Artist

Last post on 11/22/11 at 02:43 PM CT by Chris Kavan

It's a movie about Hollywood and it's in black & white - no wonder it's getting raves! Critically, this looks to be one of the front-runners come Oscar night - personally, it doesn't look to be up my alley.
