Nightshape Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 I quite liked centurion. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
LadyCrimson Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 I liked Centurion quite a bit too, once I got over the fact it wasn't going to be a Roman history-based type war movie but rather a "one by one..." chase/thriller movie. “Things are as they are.

Morgoth Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Babylon A.D. Movie got some real potential, but the end felt sorta botched. Still, interesting setting and premise, some good acting, especially Aurora. Rain makes everything better.

Vin Diesel has some interesting ideas but they struggle in the execution of the movies.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Vin Diesel has some interesting ideas but they struggle in the execution of the movies. And Vin is still trying to get the Riddick trilogy on track ... I actually quite enjoyed Chronicles.. but then I'd seen a bunch of the "behind-the-scenes" stuff for it, and the actors just had a lot of fun playing around with the potential "hammyness" of the characters from what came up.. I think that might have tinged my perspective of the film.. That and Colm Feore doing a speed presentation of Macbeth to the cast (doing all the parts) when it was used as an example for the Necro-dudes and half the cast admitted they'd never read it...

Calax Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Chronicles was just short, and vapid. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Hurlshort Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 What I love about Vin Deisel is he is a total geek who fell into this cool action hero thing. So now he spends his big movie money trying to make video games and Warhammer-esq movies.

WDeranged Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Watched the remake of True Grit a few nights ago, it was very good, I didn't see Jeff Bridges once, he was *that* much in character.
Morgoth Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Watched the remake of True Grit a few nights ago, it was very good, I didn't see Jeff Bridges once, he was *that* much in character. The true winner though was Hailee Steinfeld . Very spirited and witty girl. A very refreshing change from other teen Hollywood "actors" nowadays. Rain makes everything better.

Tale Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Saw Conan. Both Barbarian and Destroyer. I liked Barbarian more. Also saw the Falling Skies premier. Not really a movie, but I don't think it deserves its own thread. Two hours, they kill one alien. Not too exciting. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Kor Qel Droma Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I went to Green Lantern last night. It wasn't a bad movie, but there was absolutely no wow factor involved. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Hurlshort Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Green Lantern - I loved it. I'm a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds, and this movie let him shine. I also really enjoyed the special effects, and for 300 million, that is expected. The otherworldly stuff was great, I loved all the different aliens. It was a very fun flick.
Blarghagh Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Think you added an extra one hundred million there.
Rosbjerg Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 That went to bribe Hurlshot obviously. I've had the last week off so I've been watching a lot of movies. I decided to do a Sci-Fi marathon Aliens 1+2, the Star Trek TNG movies, season 1 of Battlestar Galactica. Luckily the weather has been somewhat terrible, so I had an excuse to stay inside. Fortune favors the bald.
Hurlshort Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Think you added an extra one hundred million there. Was it 200 million? Ah, that does sound more likely, although it is still an insane number. It is going to be difficult to break even with that type of budget, I'd imagine.
Raithe Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Think you added an extra one hundred million there. Was it 200 million? Ah, that does sound more likely, although it is still an insane number. It is going to be difficult to break even with that type of budget, I'd imagine. At the price of cinema tickets today? Especially for 3d films? Hm, that pre-summer Big Comic-Adaption Action film.. eh, I don't think it'll take too much to get them out of the red.. Edit: Hm, cinema ticket for 3d film was about Edited June 22, 2011 by Raithe "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Kor Qel Droma Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I read somewhere the other day that the budget was 300 as well. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Blarghagh Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Huh, Box Office Mojo says 200 million. And yeah, you'd think it's hard to break even, because with advertising, distribution, theater costs etc. pretty much means that breaking even for a film means double the budget. But with the price of tickets as said before as well as DVD sales, etc., most movies actually make it quite easily. It's already made, like, 80 million since it came out, what, four days ago? And some movies have legs like you would't believe. Critics said the latest Pirates movie was a flop because it had a pretty poor opening compared to the others and just this week it broke into the top ten most grossing movies worldwide.
Raithe Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Green Lantern. Not too bad actually. The effects were nice, although I think Asgard looked a lot more impressive then Ooa so they lost out on that cgi battle... Reynolds pulled his part of with aplomb. Interesting the way they slid Sinestro's character in and kept the "good" lantern side of him active. They're definitely doing the spadework for the sequels. They didn't really put out the stops for what the ring can do..but the stuff they did was well-done. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
