The only good thing about the new OldBoy is that it has inspired me to research foreign remakes of American films. Nothing compares to watching Nigerian Titanic, or Indian ET. 

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

    Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam.

     

    Or 3 Dev Adam.

     

    I'm just saying.

    I love it when you talk film to me.

    But hey; big dreams on small countries, can't really blame them for wanting to make a big movie even though they don't have the budget.

    I had zero interest in the pointless remake, but if it is so bad that it gives Rifftrax some work to do, then i there's a possibility that i might watch it :)

    thanks I hadn't heard of rifftrax, though it's what I often do with my two best friends.

    Turkish Star Wars is the best.

    The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

    Read about that about 27 mins after it happened, and sadly it looks real.

    Looks like the universe has a sick sense of humor.

    Dead Man Down - This Colin Farrell revenge movie was pretty good, I enjoyed it.  Acting was top-notch.

     

     

    I did occasionally wonder what lawless land this movie was set in, but it is best to ignore that type of thinking.

    Carter - Jason Statham doing Payback.  It was going along pretty well until Jennifer Lopez showed up.  She just ruined the pacing of the film completely.  I don't really have an issue with her as an actress, but this was not good casting.

    It's a Disaster. I liked it, not a masterpiece by any standard, but entertaining. A good 'sunday-nothing-to-see" flick.

    Fortune favors the bald.

    Conquest.

     

    Surprisingly good for a early 80s Italian pulp sword 'n sorcery flick.

    The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

    Watched Apollo 13 last night. I've seen it a few times, but insisted on watching again when the girlfriend said, "Oh, that's the one where they blow up the asteroid? Yeah, I didn't like that film."

     

    It's weathered pretty well, the lift off and other CGI sequences are starting to look a little dated, but considering the film's 15-odd years old, it's not nearly as bad as you'd expect.

    Dirty deeds done cheap.

    Machete Kills.

     

    I love it. I thought the first was 'ok', but this one is what I expected. Robert Rodriguez is a genius. The man understands cinema!

    You have hyped me up!

    A recut of the Dark Crystal trying to restore what it was originally intended to be before test audiences caused them to change it. It's, uh, unique.

    Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman in Batman vs Superman. I hope she pulls a Christian Bale and gains 30 lbs for the role, she looks like a stiff wind could break her in 2. Otherwise not bad casting I guess.

    The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

    She needs 30 lbs in the chest alone. Terrible casting wrt Wonder Woman's physical characteristics.
