Movies! Movies! Movies! (Non-Japanese)

Finally saw me Bad Boys 2. I like it a lot more then the first one. Funnier, more action, Love the Freeway chase scene, that was crazy :beaten: :victory:

Can't say much about Bad Boys 2... I don't even remember the first part!!!

MEAN STREETS and ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA for me :dancing: :mrgreen:

the first is arguebly one of marty's best, and the restored director's cut of Once upon a time in America is amazing. The studio did a hack job on the film to make it shorter, but restored Leone's vision really shines through. I can't believe that neither director won an academy award, although marty's been robed at least 2 times (Goodfellas, Raging Bull). The Godfather movies are just classic , although i've found myself watching more brittish gangster movies recently. Get Carter, Last Good Friday, Layer Cake, Sexy Beast, etc. :thumbsup:

Anyone saw the recent Exorcist move? The one about Emily Rose?

If so, was it good?

nope, i'll pass on that.

They made a Get Carter remake? Oh boy...

Then again, no need to be surprised... they're remaking everything as of late *yawn* kinda sad... curious when they'll try to remake Patton, or Tora Tora Tora...

and I just saw the memoirs of a geisha trailer... *shudders* they're not really trying to sell that... are they?

is there any good racing movies???

The Fast and Furious 1 and 2 blows.....
Legend of Speed was horrible.....

I think...Days of Thunder, Driven and Jackie Chan's Thunderbolt was ok (though the good fighting scenes make up for a lot) and the Initial D racing scenes were ok

i believe a film about the life of ferrari hero gilles villeneuve is being made. if you've ever seen footage from the 1979 french gp at dijon you'll see why he's respected so.
i hope the movie will do him justice.
