Movies! Movies! Movies! (Non-Japanese)

I'e had my doubts, but after seeing the latest X3 trailer, it's looking pretty damn awesome.

Let's just hope the movie lives up to the trailer.

I just got back from watching "V for Vendetta." It's a good film, but be warned that the advertising is misleading. The movie is a political drama, and there's hardly any action. The story and themes are very interesting though.

Oh, and I saw the trailer for the third "Fast and the Furious" movie. Satoshi Tsumabuki is in it! :hehe: He's probably only in that one scene they showed in the trailer though.

I'm planning to watch V for Vendetta this weekend but I'm not so sure if I should watch it or not. But since you gave me an idea what it looks like, I guess I should watch it. At least now I know what to expect in this movie :mrgreen: .

Really? Satoshi Tsumabuki is in Fast and the Furious 3? :shocked:

yeah, i got the first on on dvd...it was entertaining.

Yup, I'm excited for the second Pirates of the Carribean. As a matter of fact, I'm excited for the third one too. :bonk: Keira Knightley is awesome.

Just watched Glory Road. A nice sports history film about college hoops. Of course, it's like your typical sports movie. You know, underdogs become champs in the end. But the special thing about this movie is how the characters deals with racial discrimination and how athletic competition and human spirit that emerges from them can show us all that we can rise above cultural, racial or other barriers of discrimination that society tends to create.

Apperently, you can skip Basic Instinct 2. It sucks.

I saw this film at the London Premiere, and I have to say - I didn't expect much, but I did expect something that was at least mildly entertaining.

The original "Basic Instinct" was no great film and is still something of a "smut classic" but it was entertaining. I can recall countless times flipping through channels on TV on a late Friday or Saturday night having come across the movie and finding myself beginning to actually pay attention to it.

However, this lame-brain, waaay-belated sequel has nothing. Is Sharon Stone still gorgeous? Well, let's put it this way -- for a 47-year-old, she's pretty hot. Is she as beautiful as she was in the original? No. She also has clearly had plastic surgery on her face, and her haircut in this movie is somewhat unappealing. She doesn't look as soft or genuine or innocent as she did in the original -- which is sort of the whole point of being an evil seductress, and whatnot.

The rest of the performances range from bad to terrible -- and Michael Caton-Jones (a typically safe director -- one who doesn't always do great work but manages to make worthwhile movies) has officially delivered his first true turkey; a movie so bad people were laughing at certain moments that were intended to be serious.

I hear the film went through multiple editing sessions, and it's very clear from the start. Nothing makes much sense. The whole plot is a cosmic mess and the ending -- oh my! Talk about stupid AND unbelievable. (Still predictable, though.) I saw "Gigli," I saw "Son of the Mask" -- and although I'm not looking to "smear" this film, I can say with my own authority (which you don't have to agree with at all, mind you) that I prefer both those films over this catastrophic failure.

By the way, Stone left five minutes before the movie began and people in the theater began throwing things at the screen during a particularly outrageous and insulting scene inside an orgy-type nightclub.

"Basic Instinct 2" -- basically, it stinks, too.
:bleh:

Well, you've already seen a 30 yr old Sharon's ... uhhh.. secret garden.. why would you want to watch a mid-40's Sharon's uhh...
you get the idea..

Yup. It's like watching Madonna in spandex. It was nice 20 years ago, but gravity and time did their thing. :beaten: :hehe:
