Topic: new movies, what's good?

[GeNe]

Horrible Bosses was good.

A Better Life was a good film.

yup. don't know what to feel about this.

I think it is idiotic.  They bought the name for a movie.  There's no story or anything to that game.

<movie producer> we've got a dumb plot with hollow characters
<exec> ok, let's buy a popular name to make it sell

(ok so maybe it's not even written yet, but that's how i see this bs going down )

Someone did try to put plot to Space Invaders before..

well seeing as the producers of the transformers, Matrix trilogy, and The Wedding planner....yeah.

This isn’t the first early game that di Bonaventura has turned his gaze upon — he’s also reported to be working on the Asteroids movie. Pritzker, meanwhile, is a producer on the movie adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game.

Ridley Scott to Direct 'Blade Runner' Sequel

Harrison Ford will almost certainly NOT be returning as Deckard, the LAPD's number one cyborg hunter.

"This is a total reinvention," producer Andrew Kosove told the Los Angeles Times, "and in my mind that means doing everything fresh, including casting."

Either way, don't expect to find out what Scott and co. have in store for some time. According to Kosove, the earliest we can expect to see the movie is in 2014.

apparantly, they are "re-imagining" Robocop

Saw "Girl with a Dragon Tattoo" yesterday (the US version).  It was great, if disturbing at times.  There is one scene in particular that is very hard to watch -- you just want to turn away.

"We Need to Talk About Kevin" is disturbing, but I liked it. It's from the viewpoint of a mother whose son goes on a killing spree at his school. "Immortals" was decent, not as good as "300" IMO.
