I'll never understand the hate...




Have you seen Cocktail?




Dude's got a solid sheet.





I won't defend Cocktail.





Every actor has a dog or 2.




Cocktail is actually kinda cult.





But War Of The Worlds, and Oblivion are cookie cutter Sci-Fi.




I liked Oblivion ya bastard.


(But I get it)


Minority Report was hella good. Loved Edge of Tomorrow. He should stay in his lane and continue doing scifi. After that Shyamalamadingdong piece of crap, Will Smith now has no lane.

The two that come to mind are his "ahhhggg what is happening" slightly contorted, pained and squirmy body language when Kidman has her meltdown at the start of Eyes Wide Shut, when he is sitting on the bed and she is by the window.


And the complete head-to-toe change when the interview regarding his men's group turns from friendly to adversarial in Magnolia. It is measured and a perfect example of fury bubbling under the surface.




yeah I think you nailed it. very very few actors can pull that off. I'm an unabashed Cruise fanboy. he and Bale are the only actors who can get me to the theater on the strength of their names alone.

Oblivion was dope.





Minority Report is one of my favorite sci fi movies of the last 15 yrs easy.

I won't deny solid sheet status, in my view, but I can see where someone might not dig.





Vanilla Sky, anyone?

lol@mbient recommended this on that other forum and it's so fucking good... one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. Founding contribution to the "Reverse Home Invasion" sub-genre





Bonus points for making me listen to Agent Orange again.








I also liked this one even though I literally hated every other "found footage" movie (except Cannibal Holocaust of course)

Also, I'm sure you already heard it elsewhere but Under The Skin is absolutely incredible.

I'll hold out for people to tell me why I should have hated this...

 

[The_Non]

Well, I haven't seen it, but because Favreau is a fat sack of hacky garbage?


Perhaps ScarJo or Vergara save the movie w/fun and/or nudity


How was Liquidjello in it? He hasn't been in anything in awhile. I liked Ghetto Klown, but he seems to be running outta personal life material....

HAHA. Why you gotta take away my good feels? But it's nice to see you posting on the reg again...








"Perhaps ScarJo or Vergara save the movie w/fun and/or nudity"





Sadly no. For ScarJo it's that Under the Skin movie (Have not seen).

 

[The_Non]

Under The Skin was the shit.


Edge of Tomorrow ripped it.


I liked Transcendence okkkkk, but the ending sucked and was implausible.


I wanna see Snowpiercer, but SURPRISE! It's not playing in any movie theatre within 1.5 hr radius.


:f-u:


As you can tell, I like to go to the theatre for SciFi. My girl doesn't require RomComs (thank god) and the next thing I wanna see besides Snowpiercer is the new Apes movie cuz of that commercial where Chimp foo blasts those guys in the warehouse. Oh, and I'mma see the fuck outta the James Brown movie.

 

[Hotsauce84]

Trip out. I had never heard of Snowpiercer 'til about 5 minutes ago via FB. It's playing here tonight. Probably gonna go.

I found Snowpiercer to be unbearably boring... I fell asleep after 40-50 minutes. My wife sat through it all and said it's not worth revisiting.

I really liked the trailer. The runtime did seem a bit excessive. I'mma still see it, somehow.

I'm sure it makes a great looking trailer but as a movie there's just not enough of a story, I also found the action scenes kindof ehh. It has great atmosphere but that alone just isn't nearly enough so it just gets old real quick. I was super bummed because I had very high expectations. But yeah, maybe I was just too tired. Don't forget to report back!

That sucks. I thought the trailer looked corny but the reviews were so good I was going to give it a chance. Might just wait for netflix.

Because food trucks are totally cliche. So famous people


Making a food truck movie is elitist.
