    Why is no one talking about the Watchmen trailer?

    I believe in Zach Snyder. He's a fan and I truly believe he's committed to making the best Watchmen adaptation he can make. I mean, the guy is including The Black Freighter (in his DVD cut, anyway) - dude is serious about this. Highly optimistic, especially after seeing this trailer. The...

    THE PUNISHER Warzone w/ Titus Pullo !

    They just went too far with the last Punisher movie. I liked it for what it was but it simply wasn't dark enough. I didn't like all of the lighthearted humor and I didn't like Frank's grand scheme to get back at Howard Saint. Running around scamming hotel receipts and moving fire hydrants? No...

    Terminator 4: Salvation

    This looks awesome. I think it feels more like Terminator than Terminator 3 did. That movie slipped so far into parody that the awesome ending barely redeemed it. I'm stoked about finally seeing the future war. McG has a silly name and he admits it, and he doesn't really have that much...

    Generation Kill

    Just finished the first episode. I love it. Over There was pretty terrific, this reminds me a lot of that but it's not hampered by melodrama or TV censors. It's still a real shame Over There got canceled. I think people weren't really ready for a show like that at the time.

    Max Payne movie trailer

    Nothing wrong with a little creative license. So he doesn't look just like him, whatever. I thought Mos Def did a fine job. That movie was mediocre as a whole, though.

    Max Payne movie trailer

    The winged monsters are confirmed to be hallucinations caused by valkyr. Apparently Max is on valkyr during the final shootout at Aesir.

    Max Payne movie trailer

    I think Bravura is an internal affairs officer as opposed to the chief of police in this one.

    THE PUNISHER Warzone w/ Titus Pullo !

    There's not much to explain about The Punisher aside from "Hey his family got shot up and now he kills the fuck out of everyone." Everyone with a tiny bit of comic-knowledge knows the basic premise of the character, explaining it in detail would be pretty redundant. On top of that, 99% of action...

    Generation Kill

    I'm gonna check this out as soon as I can. The previews looked cool. You're right - anything from the guys who made The Wire is going to be gold. I think there are some former OZ cast members in this, too. I distinctly remember seeing Tobias Beecher's face in one of the trailers.

    THE PUNISHER Warzone w/ Titus Pullo !

    Let me preface this by saying Ennis's MAX Punisher series is fucking incredible, and it's an absolute tragedy that he's leaving the book. Seriously, if you haven't read it pick up a trade paperback (I recommend Up is Down, Black is White or The Slavers), you will fall instantly in love. I'm...

    Hancock!

    Except one is awesome and one isn't. I'm glad Hellboy beat it out at the box office, too. I really hope there's a third film.

    Hancock!

    Go see Hellboy II instead of this dreck. Seriously, you will not be disappointed.

    Hancock!

    The problem with Hancock is that it doesn't know what it wants to be. Some of the jokes are clever, some of the action scenes are well done, and Smith is decent-to-good. As usual, his performance can light up even the worst films (example: I Am Legend). The film just can't decide whether it...

    Max Payne movie trailer

    I wouldn't consider him an "old wise black dude" in Robin Hood. I mean, he is a wise old black dude, but... well. Shit. He has a sword? You win.

    Hancock!

    If that isn't a fake post, this guy needs to be banned. What a horrible, horrible disappointment.

    Max Payne movie trailer

    I only saw it once, but I remember digging Topher Grace. I get what you're saying in that they made Brock a clone of Parker. I guess it just made me wish Grace had been cast as Parker from the get go. I fucking hate Tobey Maguire. I don't think Morgan Freeman is a one-sided actor, I just...

    Max Payne movie trailer

    Mila Kunis was terrific in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but I haven't really seen her in anything else. Topher Grace was also one of the few redeeming qualities of Spider-Man 3. I still say he should have been cast as Peter Parker from the get-go.

    Max Payne movie trailer

    I was pretty stoked about Hitman. I still like it in a "wow, this is fucking awful" sort of way. It's very much an MST3K-worthy movie. Oh, and it does have Olga Kurylenko's tits...

    Max Payne movie trailer

    I dismissed this when I first heard about it, but after seeing that trailer I'm pretty excited and cautiously optimistic. The whole diving backwards with the shotgun bit was rad, as well as the seemingly high body count.

    General film discussion thread.

    The Illusionist is terrific and it is a shame that it came out at the same time as The Prestige. They're both strong movies, but I have to say The Prestige is much more enjoyable. Norton and Giamatti are excellent in The Illusionist, however. I love Judd Apatow and I loved Knocked Up, but...
