Film Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss films...

Looks like a mix in between "War of worlds" and "Independance Day"... but the special effects are amazing.. I'd be happy to watch this shit in 3D tbh :P 
 
Oh god, why did I even try Hot Tub Time Machine? Looking at the photos of the cast I was expecting exactly that style, but was hoping I would be wrong. Well, I wasn't. Stupid, pretentious, "fucking fuck ass dope shit fuck we are using grown-up words fuck". God, I hate these kind of movies. Fast-forwarded from 30 minutes onwards because it did not stop sucking.

I also watched Couples Retreat. Kinda fun, super hot swedish Malin Akerman, some good laughs, some awful acting and bad characterisation (ending is absolutely not believable), kinda racist (?! "haha, that funny fat black guy, he is fat and brought a girl that talk lik dat yo, haha"...). Still enjoyable. 
Shambler 
see my spolier post above. Does that help? 
Skyline 
1st comment in the youtube page sums it up pretty well "were's Will smith and Jeff Goldblum !!!"

Looks like fun though. Those alien ships remind me of the giant machine ships from the matrix. 
Nitin. 
Nope it doesn't, because....








*** SPOILER ***

A loop should only contain 2 Jess's, but at that particular point it contains 3, and no indication where JessX comes from...

*** SPOILER ***








The purgatory theory is a good one though, and probably correct. Although what is she in purgatory for?? 
Spoilers 
shambler,

my post should cover why she is in purgatory. And I thought there were always 3 jess's in a loop. We start in the middle of one where another is watching her already (in the same way she does later). 
SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!! 
Oh yes I see that. Presupposing it's an infinite loop of course.

I'm pretty sure there are only 2 Jesses in a loop - the one on the ship who wiped out the previous jess, and the incoming one from the yacht. The latter kills the former and then another incoming one appears... 
SPOIIIIILERSSSSSSSSSSS 
Skyline looks like a really horrible movie.

Gonna see Sentimental Engine Slayer in a couple of weeks though just because I'm a Omar fanboi... 
The Book Of Eli & Spoilers 
I liked it, and though I can't say I really agree with the religious overtones, I did like the Mussolini vs "Island of Knowledge" themes going on. There were only like 3 real action scenes and they were over pretty quickly, but they established Denzel's character as a bad ass, and I have to say I thought it was awesome how he ended up being blind and it just made sense.

Pope informs me that The Road is better for the apocalyptic feel, but I heard pretty depressing things about it. :( Anyhoo, Book of Eli is worth a look imo. 
Shambler 
I really dont remember it clearly enough to answer your question properly but I do remember thinking that there were 3 Jess' when I watched it.

zwiffle, The Road is very cool, but it's not entertaining. Nor is the book. 
The Road. 
Is very good.

The book is very bleak.

The film is quite sad. 
 
The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Disney fantasy action. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Some very cool scenes, some good laughs, decent story, good actors. 
I Mean The 2010 One Of Course. 
 
Nick Cage??? 
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU 
Says Someone Who Likes Michael Cera. 
I really don't get the Cage hate. His performance in this movie is spot-on. 
Prince Of Persia 
Not bad, decent action scenes and seemingly tons of them. The acting was good enough the, the chick was hot, the video game adaptation was alright too. There was some mention of some awesome demon at one point in the movie, but SPOILER it wasn't there. /SPOILER

Also, Nick Cage was pretty good in Kick Ass, but otherwise I am not a fan. 
Well 
I personally detest Nicholas Cage and don't get why he's this big actor, but he was good in Lord of War (probably because his real personality IS a rich white asshole) and Leaving Las Vegas (he had to put some effort into that). 
Deja Vu 
The Nic Cage discussion seems to repeat itself every couple of weeks. You forgot to mention The Weather Man though. 
So 
What your saying is that he is bad, except when he is good? =)

I personally have no problems with him, he just generally doesn't make the kind of films I want to see. Although Con Air and The Rock were fun. 
Two Films. 
1. Orphanage. Very good. Eerie, scary, intruiging, and ultimately wistful. Interesting how it all pans out in the end. A quality chiller.

2. Black Death. Poor. Good premise but fails to live up to it. Haphazard, disjointed, and unfulfilling. 
Orphanage 
Really liked it the first time around, but I didn't like it when I watched the second time, as I tend to with movies like that.

I watched dog soldiers yesterday - I'm rarely bothered by characters in horror movies making the stupid decisions that they almost inherently make.
But when it's a bunch of well trained soldiers, it kind of makes me react like some others would to a typical slasher.
Still - pretty fun movie, enjoyed the goofiness in some parts...
Not in nearly t he same leage as The Descent though. 
Ps 
is # 2 a movie or your GF's nickname for your penis? 
Lol 
I thought Dog Soldiers was RIDICULOUS, couldn't believe it was the same guy as The Descent which was really good. 
Hmm 
So basically it's an art-nouveau-retro matrix with more pretension, worse gunfights and an obvious ending.

It did have good set design tho. 
The Descent 
I can't understand why everyone raves about it. What does it bring to the table that wasn't already done by Alien / Aliens? I thought it was really boring, the creatures were dull and the characters... well, there's certainly no Ripley among them.
