The Official Movie Thread

So I just saw green latern even though I was warned against doing so. My god what a movie. It's superman 4 bad, right down to using the sun as a plot point.

I'm not a comic book reader but is the original story just as ridiculous?

I've had that movie on my hard drive for months but continue to avoid watching it. Movies that are that bad make me angry.

Green Lantern is a hard character to translate into live action because, his power will almost always come across as fairly cartoony. The movie was sort of doomed to be ridiculous right from the start.
 
I wish I had a time machine because I would back to 1994 on the set of schindler's list to show both liam neeson and Ralph Fiennes the script of wrath of the titans and then see how they laugh at me when I tell them that they will both star in it.

Caught 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi', an amazing account of dedication to craft and duty or 'Shokunin' philosophy.

Yeah, I heard that was excellent. I'll definitely check it out.
 
I just watched the Marinovich Project on netflix... Interesting doc...

Whoever mentioned Jiro dreams of Sushi, thanks, I checked that out, really nice doc. Made me realize what garbage sushi we're eating here...

Also watched Gonzo - great doc on Hunter S. Thompson.
 
Mission to Mars is on tv. I remember it being a pretty bad movie but my god this is almost highlander 2 bad. And the score of this movie is something else.
 
Has anyone seen Looper yet?

If you have, how much of its dialogue is in Chinese? I want to go see it here in China, but if there is a lot of Chinese dialogue I won't bother.

Gonna get on Jiro Dreams of Sushi soon! Original mention would be by Nick.

I first heard of the film at the Japanese Cultural Centre down on Bloor. They all seemed to love the film there.

Just watched them both. The stories were completely made up, but very enjoyable!

donnie Yen is amazing. I'm in the middle of watching Flashpoint now.

I really recommend War of Arrows. Really great Korean film centered around the Manchu invasion. It's not a big war movie, but more of a personal story, kind of like Last of the Mohicans. Absolutely loved it.

And I feel sorry for you if you haven't seen 13 Assassins yet.  ;D Wicked movie.

Total Recall 2012 was a lot better than I expected it to be.

I just saw it a couple of days ago. Didn't really even want to go see it, but had nothing to do so thought I would check it out. I REALLY liked it! I don't get why it didn't get better reviews. The visuals were amazing, great action sequences...a perfect sci-fi/action movie in my opinion.
