I saw Resident Evil Part 4 with Milla Jovovich today on DVD. I like Jovovich, think she's a great-looking woman, who can play a female action hero as well as anyone (except maybe Angelina Jolie). I really liked the Resident Evil series Parts 1 through 3. But this last one, Part 4, seems to be a little tired. There's plenty of action, but the story-line, not a strong point to any of the series movies, is really weak here. I just didn't enjoy the movie as much as the earlier entries. This movie is in 3D. I saw the movie in 2D, on a DVD. So maybe that took away from enjoying the movie. While the movie was playing on my computer monitor, I was thinking how some of the fight scenes seemed to be crafted for a 3D movie, where the blows, weapons, blood, etc. would have been coming straight at me. I didn't see the movie in the theater, because it was a 3D movie, and that adds around $3 to the ticket price. And tickets are too high to start with, even before any extra charges like 3D or "stadium seating" (the theater says you get a larger screen at the theater, and you are charged extra for the larger screen. Which seems to be a total rip-off, because I can't see any difference in the size of the screen for the "stadium seating". But I don't go to 3D movies, because of the higher ticket price. Plus, it's uncomfortable for me to watch a 3D movie. The special 3D glasses give me eye strain. But I was slightly disappointed with Resident Evil Part 4. Milla Jovovich is still gorgeous, but the fight scenes seem to be repeats of what happened in earlier movies of the series. And the story-line is getting to be repetitious. | |

I saw the first 2 Resident Evil movies all the way and I've seen most of the third. The first one was amazing. It's rare that a movie based on a video game is able to be any good but that one was. The second wasn't too bad but the story was already getting weird. I thougth that the third one would make subsequent movies kind of obselete. The movie implies that the T-Virus has destroyed most of the planet. I was actually surprised when I heard that there was a fourth one coming out. No matter that I love Mila. I didn't see it in theaters and I'm not going to watch it on DVD. I may watch it when it gets on TV. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Is nepotism the reason Hollywood movies have lost all creativity and quality? Read how the Coen brothers used their kin to make their latest movie, even going so far as to give him a special credit for the movie. Shame on Hollywood. Shame on the Coen brothers. Is there no decency left? And what about Matt Damon, who was forced to leave his abs unexposed during the making of this motion picture? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< MOVIE TALK on Yahoo! Movies * Mon Jan 3 2011, 12:37 PM Matt Damon's Mysterious Abs Double by: Michael Krumboltz "True Grit," directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, is garnering rave reviews and big bucks at the box office. Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld all turn in impressive performances. However it's a little-known member of the crew with a curious job title that has people talking. Stick around and watch the credits of the western remake and you'll see something that might make you choke on your popcorn. In the editorial section of the scroll, right under "Post Production Assistant," is a far more interesting job title: "Mr. Damon's Abs Double." Wait, what? For those who haven't seen the movie, we regret to inform you that while Matt Damon does not show his abdominal muscles (though he does rock an impressive moustache). So, is this a wacky Coen-brothers joke? Actually, it's more of a Coen kid joke. The person credited is Buster Coen, 15-year-old son of Ethan Coen. Industry expert Scott Feinberg spoke with Damon at an event and asked about the mysterious abs double. Damon explained that Buster "had served as an assistant to the script supervisor on the set during the making of the film, but had indicated that he wanted a more important-sounding credit than that, and had apparently requested that one!" Should Damon win an Oscar, here's hoping he doesn't forget to thank Joel, Ethan, and Buster in his acceptance speech. It'd be the classy thing to do. | |

We noticed that credit when we saw the movie and thought it was pretty funny. Nepotism is most certainly nothing new in Hollywood - many big name stars got in the business at least partially via their parents (I'm sure some would argue they had good genes, but I'm not buying it). Excellent movie by the way, I'm surprised it didn't recieve any Golden Globe nominations. I'm not usually one that likes Damon (or his abs), but he was very good in this film. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited. | |

Finally, the movie we have all been waiting for. "I Am Number Four" is a sci-fi action adventure movie about a young man (just like all of us PU members) who turns into a man, who becomes a warrior fighting evil forces. And he even has a girl friend in this movie. What better life-affirming plot could there be? And the hero is fabulously handsome, as pretty as his girl friend. Just like us PU members. Did the actors and movie-makers join PU before making this movie, and learn our secrets, and that is why the movie will be so great? The lead actor hopes this movie will be as popular as Twilight (one of the highest grossing movies of all time). I guess he wants to be a super-star, like Robert Pattinson, and make 15-20 million dollars a movie from now on. And why not. This guy is gorgeous. And handsome. He could even become a porno star, if he really wanted to. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Rising Star: 'I Am Number Four's' Alex Pettyfer Source: Access Hollywood 2 hours, 1 minute ago Alex Pettyfer has spent most of his life in front of the camera. The Brit's angled cheekbones and blue eyes won him modeling spots as a youngster for brands like GAP, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, but not content to just be a pretty face, he decided to turn to acting as a teen. Alex netted a few parts quickly, like the title role in the UK TV movie "Tom Brown's Schooldays," before fronting "Alex Rider: Operation Strombreaker," a young-person's adventure film, which also featured Ewan McGregor, Bill Nighy and Mickey Rourke. It is, however, his turn as John Smith in "I Am Number Four" that will make this AccessHollywood.com Rising Star a household name. The thriller, directed by D.J. Caruso (who helped make Shia LaBeouf a breakout star with "Disturbia" and later "Eagle Eye"), sees Alex playing John, a teen who has to hide his true supernatural identity from friends and keep under the radar, and out of the way of a series of deadly forces whose mission is to destroy him. "[It's] an action adventure movie with a sci-fi twinge with a really strong character played by Alex, who begins the movie as a young man who's a little bit confused and ends the movie as this sort of fierce warrior who's accepted his destiny," D.J. told Access Hollywood recently of his film's leading man. The film pits Alex alongside "Justified's" Timothy Olyphant, and Alex's real-life girlfriend, "Glee's" Dianna Agron, and throws in explosions and a heck of a lot of stunts. "I think the most complicated and most fun was probably the back flip off the waterfall," Alex told Access of his stunt moves. "There was a point -- it was the last take and D.J. was at the monitor, very calm, very relaxing energy and he said I need you to get closer to the waterfall, I need your head to be closer because it's a close up of your head, of your face. And I said, 'OK, I'll go close.'... And I nearly hit my head!" Luckily he made it out in one piece, which means the actor will still be around when the fans come running, especially as this movie is already drawing comparisons to "Twilight." "I hope we have the success [like] 'Twilight.' We'll take the success of 'Twilight,' but we have not made a 'Twilight' movie. I mean, there's this compelling story of romance in 'I Am Number Four,' which drives John to what he does, but he's a reluctant hero," Alex explained. "It's about a boy turning into a man, turning into a warrior [and] having to follow his destiny," Alex continued. Fans will get their chance to check Alex out on the big screen on February 18, and again, just a few weeks later when his long-awaited modern-day take on "Beauty and the Beast" is released - "Beastly, co-starring Vanessa Hudgens. The film, which also stars Peter Krause and Mary-Kate Olsen, will be released on March 4. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved. | |

^I wish him luck because I don't think he's got a snowball chance in hell of becoming as big a star as Robert. It's not look or talent but the film he's tied to. Twilight is Twilight because of the book that preceeded it and the fact that girls of all ages love the charaters and story line. It's pure soap opera with vampires and women can't get enough of that stuff. His movie is geared toward teen men. Most will go see the movie once or twice if it's real good. Who wants to bet that many girls saw Twilight more than twice? Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I saw True Grit today. Why didn't anyone warn me that the movie is slow as molasses? I enjoyed Miller's Crossing and No Country for Old Men. But True Grit was a waste of my money. Why critics and audiences have loved this movie is beyond me. Give me an old time western, or a Clint Eastwood western any day over this bloated piece of crap. It was crap based on my expectation of an action western featuring Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon. I was not in the mood for a character study where almost nothing happens in 1 hour and 50 minutes.

I have learned 2 very important things from cinema made in the 21st century. What people find hilarious today I find so unfunny that I can barely get a giggle out of an entire movie. Exhibit A & B: Tropic of Tunder and The other Guys. I laughed once in Tropic of Thunder and I'm not completely sure if the director had meant that scene to be as funny as I found it. I cringed through most of the rest of the movie. The Other Guys had a couple of funny moments and there was one fall down funny sequence but I should have known I was in trouble after the first few minutes involving the Rock and Samuel jackson. The other thing is that just because critics say they enjoyed a movie and keep pilling the acclaims doesn't mean that I'll enjoy it. In fact it's more likely that I won't and will regret paying any money to see those movies. I usually visit moviespoiler.com and read the synopsis of any movie that I'm unsure of enjoying and this has saved me quite a lot of money. There was no way I'd bother paying money to see True Grit after I read what happens in the movie. I can even say that I won't even watch it when it finally makes it to TV. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I've found comedy to be a very personal experience. I did not enjoy Tropic Thunder or The Other Guys. But I did find Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby to be very funny. Did you know that Robert Downey Jr. was nomimated for an academy award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Tropic Thunder? I thought that was amazing, and more unbelievable than watching Robert Downey as a black man. If Downey had died making the movie, then maybe he could be honored with an Oscar nomination for his past roles for this role in Tropic Thunder. But the guy was still alive, so why honor him for a role that was supposed to be a joke? That was "great" acting? I mean, Downey's entire role was a joke, a take-off on the vanity and foibles of Hollywood actors. And he was nomimated for an Oscar for that role? I always thought Oscars were supposed to be a sign of technical excellence and greatness. | |

The truth is, it's hard to know what to believe in any more. Our government has lied to us time and again. And those lies keep getting exposed. How many people realize that 42 years ago, when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, he discovered evidence that we are not alone? There was a black-out on the discovery, but Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on the historic first moon-walk, discovered the remains of a giant Transformer on the dark side of the moon. Transformers: Dark of the Moon is coming this summer to a theater near you. I saw Transformers Part 1 on DVD. But somehow I still haven't seen Transformers Part 2. I will try to see it before I see Transformers Part 3, because I want to see if they explain why our government lied to us about the historic moon-walk. I know our government lied to us about the Transformers before, because in Part 1, it was explained that Hoover Dam was built to hide the discovery of the Transformers from the world, and for America (the United States) to explore the strange science of the Transformers, which would make us strong and world leaders with our new-found scientific knowledge and discoveries based on the Transformer sciences. I also want to see Transformers Part 2 because I think Megan Fox is a hottie. It was really stupid of her to criticize Michael Bay, because she was dropped from Transformers Part 3. That series was the biggest money-maker she will ever be in, and it made her famous and a rising starlet. Now the chances are Megan Fox will just fade away among the thousands of fresh Hollywood faces and bodies. A massive career blunder on her part, for opening her mouth time and again to criticize the man who made her the It Girl of the moment. | |

I couldn't disagree with you more strongly on this lk2, I'm not sure what you were expecting from a coen/western, but a fast pace would not be something to expect, and of course it was character based - that's the coens. I don't think it is a perfect film, but what exactly does one want from such a film, dozens of gunfights, a bunch of horseback riding chases? If you don't like goofy dramas, I would just avoid the coens, because that is all you will ever get. I haven't seen many movies this year, but this was easily one of the best I have seen, and everyone we saw it with agreed. As far as most Eastwood westerns, his most critically acclaimed was probably Unforgiven, which was by no means a fast-paced movie. Did you enjoy Unforgiven? Critically acclaimed movies are almost always character driven dramas, not action driven, because these are the films that require talented actors and filmmakers. Just because it isn't a popcorn flick doesn't mean it isn't a good film. I always wonder exactly what film do folks think should have been nominated for best picture this year? As far as Downey's role, I agree it is a bit goofy to nominate him for that, but he did play the part well, and his character added a lot to the film. TF 2 was terrible, I really wanted to shoot myself in the head 20 minutes into it, Megan Fox is pretty much talentless and gets by on her looks, and I'm sure pissing off people that make movies where looks count doesn't really help her career. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited. | |

Some of the Coen brother movies are goofy, but some are not. If you saw Millers Crossing or No Country for Old Men, they were not goofy. You could argue that there was a touch of existential or outre flavor with the character of the weird killer in No Country for Old Men, but they were basically serious movies. I thought both of those movies were extremely enjoyable and well made and interesting throughout. True Grit failed to hold my interest. I did not find the characters played by Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges, or the newcomer girl, that interesting. I don't think True Grit was a goofy movie. The audience was supposed to be drawn in by the old-time flavor of the language the characters used. I didn't think the language, although flavored by a by-gone era, was that poetic or interesting. I thought the language was more artificial/phony than natural. Rating True Grit, I would not rate it highly. But that's my personal opinion. As I said, critics and general audiences rate it extremely high. I don't think there was a Clint Eastwood western that I did not enjoy. I think I saw all his westerns. And he made a lot of them. Unforgiven was a great movie. It held my interest completely. The same with Pale Rider. Those movies had action, drama, interesting characters, and a whole bunch of other factors that made for an exciting experience. I thought True Grit was very slow-moving. Sort of like Doctor Zhivago. Which I didn't enjoy either. | |

My take on modern westerns compared to those made before the 70's is that the action in todays western often takes second place to the drama and charatcer development. I prefer the good old western where there is one good guy, one bad guy and a lot of his henchmen that are only there to get shot or take the blame for the bad guy. These never got nominated for any oscars and that was fine with them and me. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Perhaps goofy was poor word choice, off-beat may have been a bit better. Either way, I found the characters very interesting, especially Steinfeld and Bridges. I could see how some might find the dialogue a bit phony, but I thought it added nice depth to the characters. The dialogue in many of the coens' films could strike some as phony, Miller's Crossing, O Brother, Hudsucker, even Fargo and Raising Arizona to some extent. The dialogue style is probably one of the more consistent aspects of their films, and I thought it worked well here. I saw a preview for the new Transformers movie last weekend at the theater, and holy crap does that look beyond over-the-top. Sort of surprised they got McDormand to do it, and that Turturro needs cash that bad... Also, surprised Speilberg would want his name attached to this film, even just as a producer.

I think that most people in the movie business regard it as a business. A way to make money. And money is very important to these people. In spite of the fact that they can make 10-100 times or more than what an average person can make in a year, their paycheck, although variable from one project to the next, is part of who they are. Transformers is a huge franchise. I don't see Frances McDormand, John Malkovich or John Turturro, who are probably considered some of the finest actors alive, turning down their noses at a paycheck from working on a Transformers movie. And it's not just the money. I don't understand Hollywood business very well, but I don't see how being in a Transformers movie could hurt their career. It might even help them become more bankable. At the least, they take the money from Transformers and wait for more solid "artistic" films. Steven Spielberg has money up the gazoo. But I don't see him turning down fresh wads of cash from Transformers or any other money-making film that isn't obviously toxic. He is considered one of the finest living directors. I am not saying that money is the complete explanation of who these people are. But I don't see any of them as the type of person who would use a thousand-dollar bill to light a fancy cigar (if you could picture them as cigar smokers, which they probably aren't). | |

Why can't we be this passionate about our porn? But if I went to a Justin Bieber movie to see how the pre-teen and teen female audience reacts to his film, I'd feel like a peeping tom or a pervert. Still, it would be interesting, at least for a few minutes, to see girls screaming and crying and waving glow sticks at the screen. Then it would be time to scram, or stick in the ear plugs. >>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<< 'Beliebers' fill downtown LA for Bieber premiere (AP) LOS ANGELES - The city got a bad case of Bieber fever on Tuesday, when hundreds of Justin Bieber fans — along with his famous friends Miley Cyrus, Will Smith, Usher and Selena Gomez — filled the L.A. Live complex for the premiere of the teen pop star's first movie, "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never." The mostly 'tween and teen crowd, many in homemade T-shirts proclaiming themselves to be Bieber's No. 1 fan, packed the LA Live plaza hours ahead of the screening, hoping for a star sighting. "We just wanted to see if we could get a glimpse of Justin," said 15-year-old Hanna Hamersley, who wore a purple hand-painted T-shirt, a homemade Justin Bieber headband and purple "Never Say Never" 3-D glasses. Part concert film and part biopic, "Never Say Never" tells the story of Bieber's rise from a small-town street performer to a bona fide pop sensation with hit songs, a best-selling book and more than seven million followers on Twitter. It shows a young Bieber pounding away on the drums and busking on the streets of Ontario, Canada, before rising to fame through YouTube and Twitter, and eventually performing at Madison Square Garden. "It was the greatest movie ever," said 13-year-old Hanna Zeile. "I would watch it over and over." Indeed, Hanna and her two friends said they planned to see the movie again on Wednesday and on Friday, when it opens nationwide. Twelve-year-old Bella Garcia said she planned to see the movie at least twice more. "I loved all the baby videos and footage of him as a kid," Bella said. "He had no music lessons as a kid. That really inspired me." Sisters Megan and Emily Bratta also appreciated seeing Bieber's childhood home videos and deep musical roots. Their mom, Gayla, said she was unexpectedly taken with the young musician. "I was very impressed," she said. "I didn't know he had such raw, true talent." Bieber's fans — who call themselves "Beliebers" — play a big role in "Never Say Never." They're shown throughout the film in their T-shirts, singing along with his songs and crying from sheer joy at seeing him in person. Fans in the theater screamed and waved glow sticks during the 3-D concert footage, just like fans at his actual concerts. (Movie-bound parents: Bring earplugs.) "I'm so happy I have such amazing fans," Bieber said as he introduced the film. "Tonight isn't even about me. It's about spreading the message that anything is possible." | |

I think being attached to a popcorn flick has a bit more risk associated with it than just doing it for money. Probably not so much if the film does well, but there are risks. While sequels might seem like easy money, they can damage careers - look at Batman and Robin (O'Donnell and Silverstone haven't done too great since), of course that was easily one of the shittiest films of the 90s, and they aren't exactly of the caliber of McDormand, but it certainly didn't do their careers any favors. Please no more on the Beiber front, or Glee, ugh... Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her.

Just seen "The Mechanic" with Jason Statham at the cinema, If you like blood and gory violence with lots of clichés, then this is the film for you! I personally love big men shooting the shit out of each other and it was a thumbs up for me, however, the story line was a bit pants and Donald Sutherland was not nearly in it enough for me. That said, a great action/born supremacy type film only not as dark and no love story!! Jason Statham is fucking HOT HOT HOT and a great assassin in this mental film!

Don't usually hang around these here parts, but seeing's MK just posted, I got a little curious about what a skilled dominatrix had to say about a form of entertainment outside the Porn Arena, so I ambled on over. Ain't one to burst bubbles, but MK, of all people, should know what heavy makeup can do to enhance the overall appearence of these "Hot, Hot, Hot cinema-babe-magnet-super-hero pretty-boys. Not to mention his body-doubles... who's takin' all the hits and performing the fancy acrobatics that portrays this guy's super-human acts of strength and mental agility, (while the star's sittin' on his ass away from the action.) It's rather ironic, because with the snap of a finger, the flamin' MK beauty can have REAL MEN (with all the right stuff) lined up outside her door. Buy hey, it's an action-packed-pretty-boy movie, for crying out loud..... MK deserves to break-away an' indulge her fantasies once an' a while ...jus' like many of us do almost perpetually.  | |

I saw Sucker Punch, which I'd very much been looking forward to. It fulfilled my expectations and then some. I liked 300 for the look of it, but was not so hot on the content. I understand that Sucker Punch is by the same guy who, like Robert Rodriguez, is really into embracing the latest technology to make movies that couldn't have been made the same way before. It's very much a graphic novel come to life, including all the juicy thigh shots of the lead character, Babydoll. But beyond all that - and beyond the sexiness of much of the movie, it's got a real heart and at a time when ordinary people are exhibiting unbelievable heroism across the Middle East and North Africa, it's very timely to see this movie, which is more than anything else an ode to the heroism of ordinary people - I highly recommend it! | |

I was quite thrilled when I first heard about Sucker Punch because it sounded really interesting. Then I started to hear some early fan reviews and then my thrill started to become dread. I won't spoil the movie because someone will want to see it all the way through but I won't go see this movie, nor will I ever rent it. I'm glad Pink liked it but I do not. If box office takes and early hold then you should rush to go see it because it won't stay in theaters for very long. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

You've seen or you haven't seen it? You don't like it because you saw it and didn't like it or you don't like it because of things you heard about it? I can't tell from your post, pat | |

I didn't see the movie Pink. All of my comments are based on what I've read about the movie. I have seen a complete breakdown of the movie so I know what happens but I didn't actually see too many of the shots except for a few clips here and there. I'm pretty sure that the movie must be visually interesting to look at because Snyder has an eye for that but that wouldn't be enough for me. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

You don't like a movie because of what you read about it? How is that fair or reasonable? You can "think" you won't like it, but if you don't see it, you really won't know. I've found a lot of movies I thought I'd like to be pieces of crap and liked some movies a lot that I never expected to. | |

I read the movies synopsis and I know how it ends so that is why I won't enjoy it. I require a certain type of ending or I don't enjoy the movie. That limits what I can watch but that's fine with me. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

The last film in the Swedish trilogy about the hacker girl with the dragon tattoo is now out on DVD. The films were made in Sweden. An American version will be coming out, but I don't know how it could get any better than the Swedish version. The films were highly enjoyable. The 3 films are: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo The Girl Who Played With Fire The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest | |

That's fine but to say you don't like the movie is mis-leading. The reality is that you don't like the movie's synopsis, as you read it. Which is fine. But it's not the same as being able to judge the movie itself. | |

I'm a big fan of the books. I saw all the movies. I thought the first one was OK. I thought the second one was dreadful - a botch job as a film and I thought that the director/writer's re-writing of the books in several key aspects was awful and I thought they destroyed the ending. I pretty much hated the second movie, though I understand that it was an edit of a longer movie that had been done for television, so that explains part of why it was such crap. I thought the 3rd movie was the best of the 3, by far - and quite a good movie. I'm really looking forward to what Fincher will do with the series. He's done some movies that I thought were awesome. | |

Sometimes reading a book before seeing a movie based on it can affect your enjoyment of the movie. I haven't read any of the dragon girl novels, so any changes from the novel to the movie didn't bother me. So that might be why I enjoyed the movies more, because I didn't have a movie in my mind to compare the film against. I read The Godfather, Dune, Logan's Run and other novels before seeing those movies, and sometimes the changes from novel to screenplay distracted or took away from the movie experience, because you can't help comparing what you imagined from the novel, to what you are seeing on-screen. So for me, anyway, if the book is really good, it's usually better to see the movie first, and then read the book, because then I am able to enjoy both more fully. That's me. I don't know why it works that way, but changes between the movie and the book don't matter as much when I see the movie first. I liked all three dragon girl movies. And felt like cheering when she was finally vindicated in court. The movies are dark in subject matter (abuse, perversion, violence), not lightened by a comic book approach. I really enjoyed them, because the actors pulled me into the story and I cared about the characters. Salt, with Angelina Jolie, on the other hand, was boring for me, because I didn't care what happened to the Angelina Jolie character, or care which side she was on. | |

It's rare for a movie to live up or dare I say improve on a book. Some have managed to do it but those are true exceptions. Most fail miserably. I don't always blame the film makers because it's not always possible to show on film what was written in the book. Once upon time it would have been a question of technology but with the advances they have made in CGI then that's no longer the case. These days it's more a question of budget. I found the movie Harry Potter & the order of the phoenix to be a major improvement on the book. Not so much for what they kept but what they took out and the general tone as well. The book was depressing and Harry was always complaining so by removing most of the complaining and a few other teaks then the movie quite enjoyable. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I am in the middle of reading the third book and am losing a lot of sleep over this trilogy. A terrific read. I only saw the second movie and agree that it was a bunch of crap. So many things omitted, so many things changed. I prefer the scenes my mind conjures up when I read a book so I prefer the written version to the movie most of the time. | |

Arnie is BACK!!!! The world's greatest superhero crimefighter is back. No longer tied to the desk as California's governor, he is now free to make big bucks and provide his loyal fans with great action in new movies. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Arnie is back, now as animated crime-fighter (AP) Source: AP 49 minutes ago CANNES, France - Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger IS back. The one-time muscleman who morphed into Hollywood icon and then California governor returns to his on-screen core — sort of — with a cheekily titled animated TV show, "The Governator." In an interview, the 63-year-old said he wants to surprise fans who expected him to go back to the big screen, shifting to the virtual world with a superhero who gets things done without the constraints of laws or an often-intractable political system. "I think that a lot of times you can actually do more and accomplish more being outside of the system," he said. Schwarzenegger spoke to The Associated Press before unveiling details of what he calls a funny, action-packed, crime-fighting fantasy at the MipTV television business conference in the Riviera resort of Cannes. Action Comics giant Stan Lee will be at the show's creative helm. Schwarzenegger, who will voice the superhero, was the talk of the town Monday: France's culture minister inducted him into the Legion of Honor and he had his handprints cast in cement for Cannes' star walk. Three months out of office, current events are still on his mind, from Japan's earthquake disaster to the Arab world turmoil and to environmental and economic troubles in the West. Still, showbiz is eclipsing politics for now. "I am not as eager to run for office," he said, lounging in an opulent hotel suite overlooking the Mediterranean. "Entertainment is the important thing right now. "I am fortunate that I can have a foot in entertainment and a foot in the political arena," he added. That's where the show comes in: Bridging Schwarzenegger's many personas over the years in a TV project that riffs off his public service, his athletic and acting prowess, and his business savvy. Think Bruce Wayne — the civilian tycoon behind the Batman mask — but involving a former California governor who assembles a team of whiz kids to fight both crime and natural disasters out of a high-tech lair under his mansion in Brentwood, and unbeknownst to his own family upstairs. Producers of the show, which is to debut next year at locations still being determined, have cobbled together a comic-strip action extravaganza with laser-beam eyes, remote-controlled motorcycles and magic chewing-gum bubbles that change faces for incognito sleuthing. It also has what Schwarzenegger called "speaker spray," which temporarily allows its recipient to converse in foreign languages — among much more gee-whiz gadgetry and imagination. In short: "It's a superheroic guy" with powers that a real-world governor could only dream of. "It's kind of like, when you see that you could have fought certain crimes but the system didn't allow you, or there were too many people that had to be asked for permission, by that time, the criminals were gone or the disaster that could have been prevented from happening," Schwarzenegger said. "With this, it's a fantasy world where the governor has extra powers." In a sneak-peak teaser aired for the TV-world honchos at Cannes, the animated governor declares "I won't be back" on the capital steps. Newsman Larry King — show producers say it's really his voice — presses for answers. Then, it was off to battling robots who try to rob an armored car, in a splashy, high-color sequence. The Governator "will be basically fighting the most evil, and worst, of the villains," Schwarzenegger said. The simplicity of save-the-day superheroism is a far cry from the messy world of political wrangling on issues like redistricting, budget balancing and state fiscal woes that hurt his popularity at the end of his seven-year term. "When you are a governor, you deal with keeping the beaches clean, making sure there's enough funding for the after-school programs and the lunch programs for the kids, and all of those kinds of things," he said at the presentation. "As an action hero, you just have to save the world — that's it." Schwarzenegger was quick to insist that the show won't be violent, a conscious break from his cinematic career: "If you look at my movies, a lot of heads come off ... this is not what this is." That, he told the AP, was what drew him to the project: a chance to change his image and surprise his fans. "So we happened to start working on this, and I said, 'This is a perfect thing to introduce first.'" First? Did he mean before a possible return to acting? Schwarzenegger played coy, or perhaps he simply hasn't made up his mind. "There's a lot of scripts that I have been reading," and he has been speaking to producers, directors and "the agencies," he said. "We are getting closer to flushing out in which direction I am going to go." "I have not committed to anything. ... So now we are concentrating on launching this series and this character, and then when that is done, then I will make the next decision," he said. | |

Charlie Sheen is a loose cannon. No surprise there. But it's just as dangerous to be his friend as his enemy. Telling a story about Nic Cage carrying cocaine on an airplane isn't doing Nic Cage any favors. And why slam Oliver Stone, who put Sheen in two of Sheen's most important movies? ======================================================= Charlie Sheen Insults Oliver Stone at NYC Show Source: The Hollywood Reporter Fri Apr 08, 2011, 9:45 pm EDT During his NYC show Friday, Charlie Sheen took a shot at Oliver Stone, who directed the actor in two of his most well-known films, Wall Street and Platoon. "I'll buy an Academy Award from Oliver Stone 'cause he's now broke," Sheen told the audience at Radio City Music Hall, according to People.com. "His movies now suck! Anyone seen Wall Street 2?" Photos: Charlie Sheen's wild time on the road He had nicer things to say about actor Nic Cage, whom he has talked about before on stage. He recalled how once he and Cage were boarding a flight to San Francisco with cocaine. Discovering that there were FBI agents on board, he allegedly was faced with the decision of flushing the ounce of coke he was carrying or stuffing it down his sweaty underwear. Luckily, the Feds were fans of both Platoon and Raising Arizona, so Sheen and Cage walked away unquestioned. It was during that unforgettable flight that Cage came up with “goddess,” the term Sheen now uses for his girlfriends (Cage, Sheen said, referred to a blonde airline stewardess as "a [expletive] goddess.”) | |

^I think that if I was a friend or ex-friend of Charlie then I would be very very nervous at this moment if he knew any of my dark secrets. Sooner or later he will reveal them and he won't care that he did it or what this will do to me. Almost anyone can fuck up royally in Hollywood and still make a comeback but I think that Charlie is burning too many bridges his bullet train of dementia and he may very well never be able to get any major work. It's for sure that a Studio won't be able to get him insured. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Anybody who didn't already associate Nicholas Cage with cocaine has never seen him in person or on screen, so I doubt that this was any great be-smirching. But yeah, the ingratitude to Stone, the only film-maker that gave him classy roles, shows what a total shit Charlie Sheen is. | |

pat362 (or anyone else who knows how to find complete plot summaries for movies on the Internet), you mentioned in an earlier post that before you see a movie in a theater or on DVD, you sometimes read a fairly complete plot summary, with spoilers. You mentioned that one site you used for this was moviespoiler.com. I tried using that site to find plot summaries for movies like Sucker Punch or Hanna (both current in theaters), but could not find any reviews at that site for those movies. Could you post a couple of links to a complete plot summary of those two movies (with spoilers), that I could use, to understand how to find complete plot summaries more easily on the Internet? Most Internet plot summaries are very brief, and do not have the spoilers included, so you don't really know much about what specifically happens in the movie. I would often like to know as many details of the plot as possible, either before or after watching the movie. | |

Movie spoiler has saved me some serious money over the years. Certain movies I will go see without caring about any review but others I won't go see without reading their synopsis at Movie spoiler. If we were talking 5$ then I wouldn't care as much but movies are betwen 11$ and 14$ so I'm not throwing good money on a movie that I won't enjoy. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

pat, just curious, if you already know how the movie will progress doesn't that sort influence your enjoyment of it if you watched it? I usually try to avoid hearing much about a movie before I see it, as I like to be surprised. I suppose it would be okay with dramas/comedies, but thrillers would be more or less ruined wouldn't they? A movie like Memento, which was entertaining to watch once, would be ruined if you knew what was going to happen, as the entertaining part of the movie was to experience how it unfolded. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited. | |

^You are correct that some movies are ruined if you know the outcome. The Sixth Sense is probably the best example I can think of that proves that point. There's no way that a person who knew the ending would have enjoyed the movie the same way that someone who didn't. It doesn't mean that you couldn't have enjoyed it anyway. I know that I watched it a couple of times afterwards only to see the scenes with Bruce and his interaction with the rest of the performers. M Night Shyamalan has done some serious turkeys in his directing career but no one can ever take away the fact that the man was a genius when he did The Sixth Sense. I don't read all the movie synopsis because there are some movies that I want to be surprised. I usually read one if early reviews are very mixed or not very good. In those cases, I'd rather read the synopsis and suspect that the movie would not have appealled than dicover that it didn`t and I`m now out 25$ for movie and snacks. The recent Sucker Punch is a good example of a movie that I know I would have hated if I`d gone to see it. It was a Zack Snyder movie so I know it would have been visually amazing looking but the story is one that I could not have enjoyed. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Experience of a movie can be a very personal experience. I thoroughly enjoyed 300, which is what made Zack Snyder a star director. I thought the visuals of Sucker Punch were well done, but did not enjoy the plot very much. I mean, a bunch of girls in an insane asylum suddenly becoming superhero warriors every time Baby Doll dances? And I did not find the ending to be upbeat at all. I mean, an innocent girl, the heroine, gets a lobotomy, and that's her escape from feeling miserable and abused in an insane asylum? That's supposed to be a positive ending? | |

I suppose Pat, and I think Sixth Sense is the perfect example, I personally think it doesn't have much value in rewatching. I guess my one problem with this strategy would be that I am sure there are many movies I have liked where the synopsis make it sound unappealing. Although I will say that I only go to the theatre if it is a movie a really want to see. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman.

I own 300 and Watchmen so I know about Snyders work. He is a talented director but that doesn't necessarily mean that everything he does is good. Since you have revealed the ending to Sucker Punch then let me say that this is why I did not go see the movie nor will I watch it on DVD. I will not sit through 2 hours of cinema looking at the plight of the main character if said character is going to get it in the last few minutes. We aren't talking about a character giving op their life saving another person like in Saving Private Ryan. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

If you liked the Sixth Sense then you almost have to watch it a second time. You have to catch the director making an error in the plot. Of course you'll realise that he didn't and that's why that movie is a classic of modern cinema. Of course you don't care about the big surprise ending but that's because you already know it. Some movie synopsis can make what might be a good movie look bad but I'm not so sure that it would make a great movie look bad. In the end I use the synopsis mostly to find out the ending or the movie. I find that too often directors will go in an unexpected direction not so much because the plot was going that way but to make a point that their movie isn't going to be like the ones that have gone before it. It's their movie so they can do that but I don't have to pay 12$ to see it. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I didn't intend to spoil the movie Sucker Punch for anyone by revealing the ending. But I thought that anyone who was going to see this movie in a theater had probably already done so. And for people waiting to see it on DVD, a few months will go by before it's released, so what I posted will fade from memory by then. My apologies if I did lessen anyone's anticipation of a movie they were looking forward to seeing. | |

To make up for any lost excitement about the movie Sucker Punch, I will now reveal the biggest upcoming blockbuster of next year (and possibly the decade). Dimension Films has "Apollo 18" (due January 2012), a horror film based on footage from a secret lunar expedition that the government covered up because alien monsters ate the astronauts. From now until the government issues a credible explanation of how to deal with these human-eating monsters, everyone should check under their bed and in their closet before going to sleep at night. Beware of the alien monsters!!! | |
