We just saw it, too Jilli! We paid LA monies because A. The DH loved the Rambo movies when he was in High School and B. I loves me some Jason Statham. It was totally mindless but we had fun.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want to see it to compare it to The Losers and The A Team, but I think those two kinda wore me out (I only enjoyed the former).
I just had to imdb to check, but yes I did recognise Eric Balfour from behind in the Skyline trailer. WTF, self? When did I memorise his back?

Scott Pilgrim: Awesome.
I just saw it! I know nothing of the book. I enjoyed the movie for the most part, though the things that bugged ita also annoyed me.

Oh yes, mindless. And when Mickey Roark's character said the line " "Goddamn DracuLARa black", all of my friends, as one, turned to look at my reaction to the horrible pronunciation. I facepalmed.

I just rewatched Infernal Affairs. But I don't remember The Departed too well. How much did it divert from what came before it?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I think it was mostly the ending, and they combined two female characters into one.

IA is the superior movie. There was no snorting cocaine, "devil" scene in IA.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't remember that scene in The Departed, which I loved. IA is coming up soon in my Netflix queue.
