My god, if Project X had come out before Chronicle, I might have missed out on a good movie, because the mere idea of pissy teens and found footage might give associations I couldn't shake. That movie looks *so* irritating. I can only hope it ends in a fireball, but what do you do for the preceding 90 minutes?
Anyone here normally use fandango for movie tickets? I find myself suddenly (since last Sat) slung over to their site for AMC tickets (although, last week, none of the purchases actually went through....hmmm....). And I'm not receptive to the change.
Ha, ita!, I was just thinking that I can't think of a movie I want to see
less
than
Project X.
I just sort of recognized that other people found Thomas Hardy hot. Then I saw him in
Tinker, Tailor.
Now I totally see the hot.
Having seen Clash of the Titans, OMG, no--Project X is way way higher on the must-avoid list than anything in that franchise.
How about the upcoming Madea's Witness Protection? (Best I can do. I'm sure Uwe Boll is working on some movie, but I'm not masochistic enough to go looking for it.)
No, I'd rather watch Good Deeds than those pricks cavorting and angling within some contempt-inducing high school hierarchy.
You're pretty much going to have to destroy an already-loved franchise or character to raise my hackles the same amount.
Nicholas Cage IS Captain America in Michael Bay's The Avengers 2!
The Avengers 2: Fall of the Risen: Based on the Popular Toy Line "The Avengers" Inspired by the Movie The Avengers Based on the Comic Book The Avengers.
Okay, now that I've seen a longer Project X trailer, there *is* a fireball. It's still not enough, though. Not big enough, not soon enough, not devastating enough.
GI Joe II is tempting me in with the idea that Channing's character is dead, and that The Rock and Jessica Moore will kick some ass, but why does there have to be Bruce Willis? Hmmph.
I liked Safe House. Originally I'd have said that it was about as plausible as the Bourne movies, but having seen a trailer for Bourne Legacy, and Safe House is much more likely.
However, it was fun. You have to take some leaps to get from scene to scene, but Denzel is fucking *on*. I love him nefarious and malevolent, because I've always thought he was scarily charismatic, and perfectly designed to get in your head and fuck you up. Still, vuvuzelas is beyond the pale.
Lots of fun fight choreography, with about enough focus that you can see who's hitting who, and lots of bullets that don't hit anyone, and some that do.
And pretty! Man, Ryan starts out basically in tears, and it sets some expectations.
