Diesel Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think they're remaking that whole series. I know Oldboy is getting the hollywood treatment with Will Smith rumoured to be taking the main role...Is Will Fucking Smith connected to every single remake rumour?Note to Casting : Will Smith is a lightweight singer/comedian. He really, really can't do serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yes, Con AIr is awesome. It's got what every great action film needs, quotable one liners.A car crash of a movie - you know you shouldn't look, but......Complete and utter bobbins, but all the better for it.

Alkaline Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Is Will Fucking Smith connected to every single remake rumour?Note to Casting : Will Smith is a lightweight singer/comedian. He really, really can't do serious.Is it 'cause he is black? I think he played the serious aspect of Robert Neville's character well and he was good in The Pursuit of Happiness. He may be ok in an Oldboy remake if he capitalises on the whole "nutjob" aspect of Oh Dae-su in his performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Jo-D Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Note to Casting : Will Smith is a lightweight singer/comedian. He really, really can't do serious.To be fair I did like him in Pursuit of Happiness (made me cry!) and Seven pounds, just can't see him as the main in oldboy! his son in this too? or am I mixing that up with another remake?

Diesel Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 watched the departed on channel four last night - awesome film.Yep, superb.Jaaaaaaaaack is brilliant as Frank Costello and great performances all round.

delboy Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 i'd forgotten how good it was, hadn't seen it since it came out and forgot all the twists and turns at the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Men in Black 2. Nowhere near as good as the first one but not as bad as I expected.Scary Movie. Couldn't remember if I'd seen it or not. I had. I suppose I should think it's shit but some bits made me laugh.Walk Hard. Veers between trying too hard to be funny and actually being funny. All in all enjoyable enough.Tonight I am watching My Name Is Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Watched Yes Man last night and I really enjoyed it, a right feel good movie with lot's of laughs!I thought it was quite good for a Rom-Com, but i'm a massive fan of Zooey Deschanel so i was probably going to enjoy it anyway.I watched the Departed when it was on the telly at the weekend and it was just as good on a second viewing as it was at the cinema. Mark Wahlberg and Alec Baldwin are great in it though Matt Damon's accent annoys the shit out of me the whole way through.I watched Gangs Of New York on Monday as well and it is great from start to finish. Daniel Day Lewis is amazing as Butcher. The cinematography is a perfect mixture of bleak undertones and bright but dirty colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that in my cupboard for about a year, I didn't know anything about it, it was one of those "I just don't fancy it" movies. Then I finally watched it and loved it.

SeaOfEnergy Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 The Unborn, overall i enjoyed it, pretty cliched ghost horror kinda film but worth a watch.Eagle eye, enjoyable/entertaining enough, starts to drag near the end.How to lose friends and alienate people, really enjoyed this, simon pegg is great in it, actually liked it better than hot fuzz and shaun of the dead.

Bigsby Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Changeling. Took an unexpectedly dark direction, but overall it was brilliant. Jolie was fantastic and her performance merely confirms my suspicions that the Oscars are a pile of wank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
