I guessed I missed the Dark Knight haters while I was away. Hard to believe anyone would have a hard time giving that film its props. Excellent in my opinion. And you can say whatever you want to about Ledger. Mediocre actor, timing of death brought on more hype, and on an on..... Heath...
Cameron will have #1 and #2 all time grossing films at some point. Love or hate the guy, that is an amazing feat. I will just be glad when that atrocity (Transformers RotF) is knocked out of the top ten.
I have been away from the HTF for some time now. I won't stray too far, and I'm about to get to the reason I have come back, but imo we've been in a movie recession for too long. My passion has been renewed by films like Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes. Both great movie experiences for me. But...
I'll see this. I'm a big fan of these movies. The second was a bit overdone, but vampires and warewolves is just something I can't turn down. Kate was great, but new girl looks pretty good in the trailors. Looks fun, JC
Thanks for the warning guys. I haven't been on here in a while. I've joined the world of parenting and a 1 year old daughter means dad's trips to the silver screen are now few and far between. Got a sitter for the evening and planning to take the wife out. You just saved me $20. Hopefully...
Long, Long time since I've been on the forum guys. I could blame it on golf, fantasy sports, and a bigger role at the job, but mainly it's a new 7 month old. Hard to get out to the movies these days. I have to say that until now I've not been very excited about the films coming out, and there...
I was cruising along in this film, thinking it was the average, run of the mill, Terrorist overseas type of flick until the last 1/3 of the film. From the Car chase sequence to the end was pure adrenaline, with one of the best action scenes I've seen in a long time. It saved the film for me...
Richard, You seem to be a fan of the genre, but very critical on the small details. I am curious to know some Westerns that you enjoyed, and met your criteria for costume, story, etc... I am also a great fan of Westerns JC
I agree Michael. Cruise is great in the Mission Impossible, high octane, fast paced action genre, but I don't see him pulling off Wade. Cruise can do cold and nasty, but Wade's character is much deeper. Crowe was 100% the right guy for this part imo. As weird and Tom Cruise is, I still think...
I'm sure no-one saw this coming :)
I searched the forum for a "greatest Western's" list and went back as far as '05 and didn't see any, so I guess with the Yuma and Jesse James buzz, it's good timing.
Let's see your top 10. I'm on a Western kick, so I am hoping this brings out some films I...
Crawdaddy, After seeing the film do you still think Cruise and Bana could have outdone Crowe and Bale? Personally I could see Bana doing Evans very well, but I don't think Cruise could come close to Crowe's performance here. My opions of course. JC
Another positive review on the way..... I agree that this was a very solid film. Bale and Crowe had great chemistry and were very believable in their roles as Evans and Wade. I continue to be amazed by Russell Crowe. This guy is the perfect example of someone who seems to be a jerk by all...
