Re: DePalmas Black Dahlia
Mission to Mars is PG.
FYI, Black Dahlia is rated "R for strong violence, some grisly images, sexual content and language."

Are you talking about Scarface or something else? You never see anything in the chainsaw scene, except for reaction shots.

Touchstone, not Disney. I know Touchstone is owned by Disney, but it's like saying Warner Brothers instead of New Line.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

Re: DePalmas Black Dahlia
Reviews have been terrible.
How can material like this be described as "campy"?
Rotten Tomatoes is at 48%. Im waiting on James Bs review at the moment.

Re: DePalmas Black Dahlia
A pity, if the reviews are to be believed. I've never read the book, but I was looking forward to this one. Seems like I haven't been to the movies in ages, and the reason is always the same - lackluster reviews of whatever film I was moderately excited about.

Must be much more subtle than any f-bomb or titty flash...that kind of content gives an instant "R" rating. *sarcasm off*
Ugh...

Regardless of reviews, Variety says tracking is excellent.

Re: DePalmas Black Dahlia
I may be turned on to a movie by good word of mouth or critical praise but I don't avoid a movie that I think I would like due to bad word of mouth or critical panning either. In other words, I'm still going to catch it but my expectations are lowered.

Re: DePalmas Black Dahlia
It's always hard to make anything of reviews of DePalma's work because he's such a polarizing director and likes to play and do goofy things in his films. But he's usually interesting so I'll probably see this one.
