    Whatever happened to Terry Malick?

    Is it just me or does it look like Malick is just continuing his The Thin Red Line in that trailer? Between the peaceful and spiritual indigenous peoples (who love swimming under water) and the violent, seaborne westerners who bring along our lone wide-eyed protagonist wanting to go from one...

    Movie myths

    Glocks as plastic guns that are undetectable by metal detectors, when in fact, Glocks have a great deal of metal in them. People being thrown back violently when shot by almost anything. In reality the bullet has most power when fired so thanks to Newton we know that the shooter should be...

    Raiders of the lost ark????

    A 1936 German U-Boot wouldn't have a snorkel. ;) But it's a movie, and a damned good one so I don't care too much how Indy hopped a ride on the submarine..

    "WOW!" Moments in the Movies

    Shawshank. The rooftop beer scene, the poster/tunnel scene, Andy in the rain, the warden opening up the book, and of course the final scene in Mexico. All are fantastic.

    Bleeping ridiculous words in movies on TV

    I hate this censorship of supposedly "bad" words. In what way are they bad, will they offend people? Will hearing them cause children to lead immoral lives? The best part of it is how words are edited out but not other things. "I'm gonna blow your Fu... (bleeep) head off!" Followed by guy...

    The Terminal (2004)

    I'm curious how did you percive Viktor's scarifice of his commitment to his father's 50 year long dream to get all the jazz musicians' autographs? Viktor (a white man) gave it all up to protect a black man, an Indian man and a hispanic man. How did you overlook that when thinking about "racism"...

    Is Hollywood ready to produce a BIG BUDGT Epic film starring mostly black people???

    How about an epic about the African slave trade? It may be uncomfortable for some people but the fact is that nearly every black slave was captured, processed and sold by powerful African tribes who raided their neighbors for slaves and they made a major industry of this setting up huge and...

    So the fear is that the French Captain will rally his imprisoned crew and retake their ship? Setup for a sequel?

    Shawshank Redemption #2 on iMDB -- why?

    Its a human story and I belive that hardcore film buff types if they cannot step away from viewing all movies as a technical, mechanical and functional "art" will probably miss the point entirely. The story is what makes it so popular and enduring with normal people, and people far outnumber...

    The scariest line of dialog in any film you've seen

    Scariest? The first line of dialoge in Star Wars EP1 The Phantom Menace, don't recall what it was but I was damn scared from that point on... :D

    Movies featuring German accents?

    Das Boot and Stalingrad are great for German accents. I imagine the full range of emotional states in those war movies, from calm friendly converstation to deadly terror, would be useful for an actor to hear different voice intonnations etc..

    Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

    I gotta say I enjoyed it a lot, though I was not really expecting to like it going into the theater. The beginning was somewhat weak IMO, the action was almost pointless even if very well done and Arnold's comedic entry scene seemed misplaced compared to his debut in T2 and T. At some point...

    Anyone have cable internet and direct tv?

    Hello Kevin! I have AT&T cable internet, DirecTV and phone service from somebody else alltogether - so you can mix and match anything you want. America, hehe, what a great place! :D Filip

    Will the PG-13 Madness Stop?

    But it is very accurate. Did you check out the Ia Drang picture link I posted, most of that looks just like hills, little praries and thin forests around the SF Bay Area. So if it's accurate I dont really understand why it would matter where it was shot. :D

    Spielberg talks "Raiders" DVD

    I think Lucas especially is full of B$ when it comes to DVD, and as for Spielberg where on earth is the Schindler's List DVD? Oh yea I'm strongly for a boxset, although I dont like Temple of Doom as much as Raiders or Crusade.

    Who cares Patrick, he's just a fun character in a very fun movie.... :D Why do some people here just want to overcomplicate things. You fellas sometimes remind me of a Sprite commercial spoofing actors filiming an ordinary advertisement dramatically asking "what is my motivation?" :D hehe I...

    *** Official "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN" Discussion Thread

    Does anyone here ever just sit down and watch a movie anymore? What are you all amatuer film critics who just watch for flaws? Now I have nothing against ripping apart an obviously bad movie but some of you here with your major dissapontment comments are just a bit overblown and dramatic. Was...

    All the Plot Holes in BTTF

    Who cares they are fun movies and I mare than happy they are finally on DVD. :D Time travel is a fact and all of us have done it, into the future at least, but not enough to notice. Time slows down as speed goes up and there is a measurable difference seen even at high subsonic speeds. If time...

    Anyone annoyed with product placements in films?

    Only if it's really blatant like somebody consciously rotating a soda can so the name is visible - even then I just shake my head, chuckle and think the movie's makers are retarded. I suppose it could get annoying if thats repeated over and over. But tasteful placement is realistic. I certainly...

    Movies that really strain credibility.

    Pearl Harbor Perhaps my favorite was how Rufe, Cletus, Billy Bob or whatever their names were set up some Zeros to collide headon after a wild low level below rooftop chase. Or how one of them coordinated with guys on the ground to shoot a Zero off his tail with a shotgun after running up a...

    Sci-Fi topic - Aliens vs Humans in films

    Ohh you got me started on WW2 now.... Yummy. :D Hmm Hitler failed to invade England because the BoB was a major disaster for the Luftwaffe. With no air superiority over the British Isles and specifically none over the channel any sea borne invasion across the channel would have been wiped out...

    Sci-Fi topic - Aliens vs Humans in films

    Seth you seem to think that any aliens simply must forgo any planning, preparation or forethought before engaging in a massive planetary invasion, why is this? Why would they not try to find out as much as possible? Plus if they are so technologically superior maybe they could gather all that...

    Would A Beautiful Mind be ok for an 11 year old to see?

    Absolutely not! Your sister will be horribly scarred for life and should not watch this movie until her 13th birthday. That very second she will magically change and will no longer be scarred for life by watching that movie. :D In other words there really is no big deal about letting an 11...

    Signs (2002)

    No problem about physical strength, I fully account for the possibility that they may be as weak as 3 year old child with a bad case of flu. :) But the movie clearly shows they are able to lift and support at least a 100lb kid with their arms, so I don't for a second buy that they are unable...

    Signs (2002)

    Hmm Seth dont get too emotional. :) Allow me clarify any misunderstanding. First we know the aliens operate in daytime, the Brazil video clearly proves this. Your timeline said the aliens were defeated by daytime in the middle east, so that would make them leave sometime in the night in the...
