River ,'The Message'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
From the teaser, anyway, it doesn't look different enough from the original movie to have been worth re-adapting the book. But hopefully the longer trailer will have some footage that convinces me otherwise.
I'm feeling the same way about Flight of the Phoenix.
Apparently, Gina Torres has 3 movies coming out next year (including Serenity ).
They're mentioned on her website.
I totally just saw ELF! And it was so totally cute!
Yay! Told you, Alibelle.
Huh. The Wonka trailer makes the movie look...zanier than I expected.
Have you read the book, PC? Seen the original?
Have you read the book, PC?
I can't remember. I might have.
Seen the original?
Yes, I love it, and it's not zany like that teaser is zany. It's far more sinister. It's a slasher movie, dude.
Batman Begins trailer. It's like some kind of awesome privilege, being the first one to post stuff like this.
As far as Hero is concerned, it was one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. However, I do think it dragged a bit in parts.
It just seems funny to me how in a real Hong Kong movie they can milk the big moments, often over Cantopop, and the whole thing flows beautifully, and these mainland/mainstream things (Hero, Crouching Tiger) just don't keep things moving.
And it's not as if HK movies don't have their own beauty. Those moments are so plentiful Steven Chow once created an entrance: wind through his hair, and leaves swirling around his feet, all beautifully lighted. Then the camera pulled back to reveal the guys operating the fans! Yes, the character actually hired guys to do that.
Batman Begins trailer.
Dude. Sweet ass monkey. It's so unlike the previous movies. I didn't know Qui-Gon Jinn was in it.
Gimme movie!!!!
Yes, the character actually hired guys to do that.
Didn't Jackie Chan do that in Gorgeous?
I didn't think that the action dragged in CTHD, and didn't mind that it did in Hero.
Just watched Before Sunset.
Have enormous crushes on Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke. I mean, pretentious, greasy, screwing-Uma-over Ethan Hawke! Dude.
I really liked "Before Sunrise", but I think I liked this one even better. And who knew Julie Delpy had such a pretty singing voice? I mean, it's not a big voice, but oh, so pretty.
