*facepalm*


Brandon Lee's been in the ground for 15 minutes and they're already going to remake, of all things, "The Crow"!? Starring Bradley Cooper!? What the hell is going on in Hollywood... seriously.

quote:

Bradley Cooper is in early negotiations to star in Relativity’s remake of The Crow, being directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. In the adaptation of the gritty black-and-white indie comic by artist James O'Barr, Cooper will play a rock musician who is murdered while trying to save his fiancée from thugs. He is resurrected by supernatural forces and seeks revenge. The role was originally played by Brandon Lee, who was killed by a freak accident during production in 1993.

EDIT: Twilight is bad enough with the emo crowd... if they remake The Crow I can't imagine what the movie theater audiences will look like.

Eight years = 15 mins? Maybe on Fox time

But also, they already made sequels without him like straight after he died... that was way worse--

the main bad thing if they make the new one is that lead- that guy is fucking SHIT lol

Next thing you know, they'll be announcing a remake of Goodfellas starring Tony Danza, Ray Romano, Joey Buttafuco, and Andrew Dice Clay.

Saw Dogville last night for the first time. It was a long movie, but by the time I thought I'd be thinking "this is sort of dragging on..." I was sort of just "wow"ing and "wtf"ing. Initially I disliked the technique of it being shot on a stage, but by the end I couldn't really imagine it any other way. Really didn't see the ending coming at all, that totally made it for me.

Watched Source Code 2 nights ago, thanks to my wife dragging me there. It was like The Matrix meets Groundhog Day. Silly and boring, with an ending that was dumb. I couldn't believe the theater was packed. Don't waste your time and $$$ on this one.

I liked it alright, although not as much as most people seem to. I thought the love story at the end was tacked on, but I bet the studio forced it on them. The repetition was handled well, much better than Groundhog Day. Jake Gyllenhaal always looks like a startled monkey to me though.

This.


And yes, excellent comparison with a startled monkey.

Recently saw Of Gods and Men. I didn't think it was particularly spectacular, but it really drew me in. There were no real stand-out scenes, aside from one (maybe). It wasn't that type of movie. Instead, everything sort of meshed together, giving it a sort of ethereal tone. Initially, I found that to be mesmerizing but by the end it was very disquieting. In an early scene a joke was made that also foreshadowed the events that would conclude the movie. It was really well done.

I also saw The House of the Devil as per the recommendation of a good friend. I can't stand Greta Gerwig, so I was quite pleased to find that her roll was a minor one. I thought the lead actress did a really great job, while the husband and wife in the house were fucking awesome in their roles. I loved the way the introductory credits were filmed -- sweet music, white-washed/diluted colors, freeze-frames. It evoked the 80s vibe so well. The movie had potential to be really fuckin' phenomenal but wayyy too much happened wayyy too fast in the final act. The pacing up until then had been really effective. If a longer version exists I'd really like to see it - I think that if they had drawn out that final act, given the absolute terror of it all time to breathe, to set in, then the movie would have been elevated from 'pretty good horror movie' to 'top-notch horror movie'.

probably has been mentioned but "the fall" great flick

I saw "Win Win" tonight with Paul Giamatti, Jeffery Tambor, and Amy Ryan. Really really really liked it. Slightly serious movie with plenty of comic relief mixed in.
