Paid Members FLips Posted May 20, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2009 "The Shadow" on ITV just now. It's only the film that "The Dark Knight" could have been. Alec Baldwin is the actor of our generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 They were looking to make The Shadow into a franchise, but it didn't do well enough at the box office. It is a shame, becasue it is a good movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted May 20, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2009 Wanted - A decent enough time-killer, and McAvoy's slow-motion calls of "I'm sorry" raised a laugh. As if Morgan Freeman's voice wasn't awesome enough, he even makes swear words sound innocent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Dent Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 British actress, Lucy Gordon, tops herself in Paris. She was in "Spiderman 3". http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090521/tuk-br...is-45dbed5.html  I was honestly scraping my brain trying to remember who she "starred" as in Spiderman..... before remembering she was the annoying reporter near the end that lasted for all of 20 seconds.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted May 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2009 Harry Knowles's Terminator Salvation review went up yesterday, and here's an interesting Tweet he just made regarding that: Â woke up to confused, angry, betrayed, embarrassed txt msgs on my phone from McG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted May 21, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've just finished watching Dune. As I'm at a location without a DVD player, I had to choose from a small selection of VHS. I only point this out because I assume/hope the DVD release has been remastered. The print this VHS version was taken from is filthy, shakey, and the colours aren't consistant throughout various scenes. This is a poor quality release. Â Anyhow, the film's enjoyabe enough, although it does drag in scenes that feel like they're there just to show how epic the film is, and how much it cost. Â The special effects have dated quite badly, with colour castes on the bluescreen scenes, sub quality Dykstrascope style shots and rotoscoping. The computer generated shield suits still look pretty good though, with the eras limited CGI ability giving it some style. Â The soundtrack still holds up though.

Harry Knowles is a fucking parasite. Â Whut? From the stuff in my earlier post, it looks more like McG fake-buddied up to Harry with a view to buttering him up, but the movie plain stunk and Harry wasn't afraid to say so. What if he'd given a good review? Not a parasite because he repaid that Terminator head from McG with a glowing article? Â I like Harry a lot. I don't buy into all this shit about him being easily bribed or swayed with tickets or starry chats, he's just a guy who absolutely lives movies and is wildly passionate about them to the point of polarising people because he usually LOVES or HATES something. That part sounds like someone else around here. I know he's "in" now, as far as his opinions carrying weight (no fatty puns plz) but I love that he's kept the exact same attitude he had a decade ago when he was pretty much doing what we do in this thread, while rooting around for stories to break. You should get his book, it's a real eye-opener about how AICN got big, as well as an absolutely bizarre story about a guy who lead a bunch of people, Harry included, on a merry dance saying he was making the LOTR trilogy.

Loki Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I've just finished watching Dune. As I'm at a location without a DVD player, I had to choose from a small selection of VHS. I only point this out because I assume/hope the DVD release has been remastered. The print this VHS version was taken from is filthy, shakey, and the colours aren't consistant throughout various scenes. This is a poor quality release. Anyhow, the film's enjoyabe enough, although it does drag in scenes that feel like they're there just to show how epic the film is, and how much it cost.  The special effects have dated quite badly, with colour castes on the bluescreen scenes, sub quality Dykstrascope style shots and rotoscoping. The computer generated shield suits still look pretty good though, with the eras limited CGI ability giving it some style.  The soundtrack still holds up though.  I've got the good DVD release, and it's pretty good. The colour balance is fantastic, the effects and bluesceen all sits pretty well. The best thing is the proper widescreen - if you were watching the old 4:3 VHS, you literally missed 1/2 of the set design, which is one of the film's strong points.  It's an uncompromisingly hardcore scifi, plus it's Lynch, so it's not exactly a mainstream film, but I still think it's enjoyable.

Harvey Dent Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I saw 12 Rounds last night. Went in with really really low expectations, but its actally pretty decent. Nothing great by any means, pretty standard action fare, but its ok and worth a watch if you dont want something too engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't watch much wrestling so I was confused why and she said she'd just watched 12 rounds and thought it was mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
