yeah it's a great movie(My fav. all-time/made 4th on my all-time list) I meant sad as in my punk ass almost cried sad not it was a bad ending sad. Mystic River was pretty good not nearly as good as MDB but ok, it was really well acted but Bill Murray got screwed out of his oscar.

I found Falling Down and just finished watching it.

Saw

"Man on Fire"...shot itself in the foot after seemingly going the right way.



***SPOILERS***





Exactly WHY did Creasy not kill the woman in the techno club after getting what he wanted and getting the girl? She was just as part of it as the 2 men in the club he DID kill, and he stated that EVERYONE involved would die.
It wimped out.

Proof of this is in the deleted scenes where a whole assassination of someone involved was removed to tone down the violence! The whole 2nd half of the film is MEANT to be about violence they build Creasy and his quest into nothing but a whirlwind of death! A fart more like.

And the end? What was that? She may not have been dead but she was still kidnapped and put through hell. He could have had a gun in his waistband and killed the Brother as he ran past to supposed freedom, have 'The Voice' there as well and go out taking them out.
As it was we are left with kidnappers unpunished and a VERY VERY bad tagged on coda that (helpfully!) has 'The Voice' killed in a matter of fact fashion at the end by the Police.
BUT Creasy had no idea about this...so as far as he knew he simply let them all go and died in the car! Man on fire? Hmmm...

OR why not use the alternative ending with the bomb? MUCH better. Not only are they all killed but Creasy is the one that did it (which i thought WAS the whole point of the film!).

Could have been so good (and it was at times) but it pandered to Studio suits (though why the DVD had to I do not know, Director's cut was needed here) and it wimped out.
What Tarantino was doing saying it's "As tough as Hell" i do not know.

And the deleted scenes also show how disgustinglly wasteful Hollywood is! They filmed a big action scene, blocked the road off, had lots of extras, lots of bullets and a car blow up....and they cut it out! HOW MUCH did all that cost?
Surely this is why you have SCRIPT meetings, this is why people get payed a lot to decide BEFORE money is spent in what goes and what stays. Small things will of course be filmed and then have to go of course...But a whole action scene?!

More money than talent some people.

because it was in the script

Was that really worth the time spent typing? Dear me.

finger exercise

Well, you sig is a 100 times longer than all your posts...Time to switch that around a wee bit i think.

yeah i'm just lazy

Man on Fire is a great movie!! 9/10

Thats what i said...haha

do you mean man on fire?

I can't agree more. The ending really felt like a let down.
Thats Hollywood for ya.

still says of in my quote

three to tango

Found it funny the first time i saw it. Second time.........Yuch!!:(

I found it pretty lame. so i fell asleep. for being late 90's (1999 to be exact) it was pretty crappy.

in the movie ? or as a teaser ? Have'nt seen this but I liked "True Romance"....
Anyway...saw "Dune" a great sc.fi. (Lynch of course):eek:

Quote on the DVD cover.

And at times it was, very tough. But the refusal to kill any women involved in the kidnappings, only the men, and that flat finale let it down.

By all that is holy! "MST3K: 'Manos: Hands of Fate'". Now that was indeed a BAD film! A bad, bad, bad film. At least some of the MST3K stuff was funny.

**Spoilers**



No matter how ''on fire'' he was suppose to be, most of the time you see a movie about an assassin they don't go for women and kids. I don't see how you can think he got soft, he was bleeding to death and had been through quite a bit in the strech of a day or two emotionally and physically so after he found out Pita was alive all he wanted to do was get her back and that's what he did.

Think about it, what if it were you? Forget all the assassin for the goverment, killing machine,''creasy's art is death'' stuff. You've been through hell and you're completely worn out, you find out she's alive ''the voice'' makes you the same offer. You're telling me you wouldn't have done the same and just got it over with?

But hey, that's just me.:)

Friday Night Lights

wanted to see it in the theater but didn't for whatever reason which I can't remember.

I thought it was really good, Billy Bob Thorton did a good job as he usually does and the guys who played the roles of the players also did a pretty decent job. Although it wasn't the best sports movie I've ever seen (which I was told it would be)it was still really well done. Like I said it wasn't the best sports film I've seen but it did have the most fucked up scene I've ever seen in a sports movie.

True. "Chandler" dosen´t do well outside " Friends".... He´s just not that funny.:(

And what happened in that scene?

I don't want to give away the ending.

:(

I can just put a spoiler warning on it duh.


**Friday Night Lights Spoiler**








They make it to the state championship and they need a touchdown to win on the last play. The QB slips away from a few tackles and runs, and he gets tackled at the ONE FUCKING YARD LINE.

:D What a happy ending.:D

friday night lights rules... one of the only sport movies that had me choking up a little. i dont know why... very very good movie

I probably would've just been like ''aw man that's fucked up'' about a week ago but I've become kind of a pussy lately. Sunday I saw a movie that almost had me in tears then I go home and watch another movie that got me choked up and ever since I've been watching a bunch of dramas which I do anyway but it's been more than usual lately.

I watched Memento again.

I'm usually one of the few people I know that gets movies like Memento the first time around but I had to watch it again to catch a few things that were a little blurry the first time.

Watch Antwone Fisher, Big Fish.... but watch it alone just in case you dont wanna embarass yourself. haha

Memento was good... lil bit over hyped and not as good as watching it the 2nd time.

i cry every time i see heidi

sniff

Big Fish nearly killed me. I watched that with my wife on July 4th. i am really close to my dad, and the end of that movie had me bawling like a fucking baby....

and dont forget "Pay It Forward"... I love horror but I also like a nice drama here and there

ugh .. if that had any more sugar in it i'd have gotten a mouth full of cavities watching it...

thats the 1st time i saw Spacey in a movie i didnt like

smartass:)

well, i couldnt sleep so i wanted to watch something dumb.
I watched Rambo - 1st Blood II.

I got what i was looking for ..
hadn't seen it in so long i had forgotten just how bad it was.

I didn´t get it?:confused:


And i´ve tried to watch it several times now. Didn´t help...

Guess i just don´t have enough consentration to stay focused for that kind of movie?


I wish there was a straight forward version on the DVD....:(

"Creep".



Sucked ass...

First half was like a "28 days later" ripoff. Last half became much better, but all in all it still sucked...



"The story of Ricky"


Insanely violent asian martial art flick.

Bad story, bad acting, bad lines and very, VERY bad translations on the subtitles.

I LOVED IT!!!!:D

Can´t decide if the major spelling errors was irritating or hilarious, but it definitely didn´t ruin the movie wich literally KICKED AAASS!!!
:cool: :cool: :cool:



Can´t remember wich of you at Horror.com who recommented it, but HAIL SATAN!!!:)

it's backwards, all you have to do is pay attention. Instead of seeing cause and effect your seeing effect then cause.
