Movies! Movies! Movies! (Non-Japanese)

Good idea.

There seems to be a lot of individual movie threads, but not a general one... Hopefully, one of the mods will merge those threads into this one... :)


King Kong? I'll pass on that one. Never liked movies showcasing gorillas, chimps, monkeys, etc.

Except for Planet of the Apes. ;)

Yeah, but, but, but ... Peter Jackson is directing, isn't he?!

(I'm a big fan of Peter Jackson ever since I saw his early movies: Bad Taste/Meet the Feebles, Braindead, The Frighteners...)

That Ring thingy was ok too.

There's few directors that I consider to be a must see: Kurosawa, Ozu, Hitchcock, Wilder... ;)

Gonna check out War of the Worlds this Friday... Should be good.

Yeah, it looks awesome. But man, Tom Cruise is crazy.

"Blah blah blah, Scientology, blah blah blah."

What do I care? He ain't preaching Scientology in the movie...

If you're gonna hold that against him, don't go see the movie, 'cause you've probably made up your mind that you aren't gonna like it, ne?

Hey speaking of Tom Cruise, did you all see on the news when he got squirted with water? Maybe its old news already... :crazy:

Did he get squirted with water by some crazy fan girl or something?

Some British reporter did it to get a story.... You know those tabloid magazines.... :shakehead:

Nah, it was some kinda stunt by some British TV show.

What was really funny was Tom stopped him from running off like a coward and chewed his ass out in front of the TV cameras...

I was suprised he handled it so calmly.... I just remember him getting all mad and saying "you're a jerk".... :hehe:

Yup. And that guy got really embarrassed by doing it. What a dope.

Oh yes that is one I am also waiting for eagerly!

i remember when i read it .. i was like pretty young and it gave me the shudders :bonk:

*the red eye of the spaceship ..looked at him .. and whoosh .. the heat ray evaporated everything *

:hehe:

Oh no. Ifm actually looking forward to seeing this movie. I usually enjoy his films, most of the time anyway. But man, did you catch him on The Today Show?

gAnd I know that psychiatry is a pseudo science.h

What the hell?!

Herefs a link to the full interview: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8343367/

Yeah, I saw that clip. I think Tom handled it beautifully, that interviewer deserves much worse than what he got.

Ifd love to see him try something like that with Burt Reynolds or maybe Russell Crowe.

I was suprised that Tom didnt even raise his voice. I would have been yelling at the guy. Then they would need people to hold me back cause I would be trying to throw a punch at him.... :hehe:

Yeah, that raised some eyebrows, for sure...

Not defending Tom, but wasn't he there promoting the movie, not Scientology? Matt Lauer had to bring that up, the doofus...

Talk about stunts. I think Lauer purposely brought it up for ratings points, since NBC has been struggling in the morning show ratings...

You didn't see Letterman bring up the Scientology thing when Tom was on his show last Thursday...

Batman Begins was pretty good. I liked the realism of it. =] Dr. Crane was mucho hot.

As for movies that I want to see... I still have to check out Land of the Dead since the original director from way back directed it. Future movies that I would like to see is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (WEE!), Mirrormask, and Nightwatch. I'm a little skeptical about Fantastic Four but I don't mind watching that either. :bleh:

This movie thread seems to be mostly about Tom Cruise. Even though I do look forward to seeing Wars of the Worlds as well.

Yeah, I still have to check out Land of the Dead, that looks really cool. And Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is going to F'ing rule.

Oh, I also caught Mr. & Mrs. Smith a few nights ago. It was actually pretty good. Great action, I especially liked the minivan scene. Brad Pitt is a funny bastard and Angelina Jolie is just too damn hot.
