I enjoyed hellboy but you can't ask a lot of it.

Given the director, and the comic it's based off of, I'd say you're wrong.

Based off of hellboy one I think the comment stands. An argument could have been made after this first one came out but people should know what they are getting into with this.

Trailer for Outlander.  Looks so cheesy I'm almost forced to watch it when it comes out.

Space Dragons vs vikings?  Hrm.. the potential is there, but I'll wait to see on the execution.

What worries me is the splash screen in the trailer that says: From "Lord of the Ring" producer. They don't know the name is Lord of the Rings?

This is the part of the credits that is the problem:

Finally saw the Hulk today. I got what I expected. I really really liked the Ang Lee version. I got a film that I didn't like as much as the Ang Lee one but was still a good film that I really enjoyed. Edward Norton was superb in the Banner role. Everyone else basically stood around and thought about their pay check, aside from the SAS bad guy who was pretty decent.

I would be interested in getting the DVD and seeing the bits that were cut as Norton was really good when he was by himself.

Hulk himself looked stupid though, but hey.

Is Outlander really only showing on 50 screens?  cry

Found this page with both the international and domestic trailers, along with a cool pre-production teaser used to raise funds for the project:

Had to watch the latest Mummy movie and Brideshead Revisited at work today.  If you liked the previous Mummy movies you'll likely enjoy this one as well.  Can't say I'm a huge fan but I've certainly seen worse.  As for Brideshead, it's one of those annoying period pieces where you know the whole time you're watching it that there isn't going to be a happy ending for any of the characters.  That made it a fairly depressing way to end a 12 hour shift at work.

Is the new Mummy movie more like the first or the second one? I loved the first one, the second was really strained.

I'd put it somewhere in between. It pays lip service to the O'Connelly's have family problems, the parents are bored, the son resents the father being a goofball and not a proper dad.

It never felt as over the top insane as the Mummy 2 and only one scene that made me go "what?" (A stunt where Evelyn, in a dress, leaps out of a moving vehicle onto concrete and doesn't seem hurt at all.)

I saw the movie tonight. It was beyond strained. It's almost as if this movie was rushed out before the Olympics or something. They should of waited and made it suck less or done a straight to dvd release. My opinion is this movie is not worth the price of admission. It was really hard not to walk out.

There is my glowering review. Save your cash.

From what I've seen Mummy 3 is getting really bad reviews, even from people who thought the first two were ok.

Not a new movie, but Charlie Bartlett is pretty good. Not mind blowing or anything, but it's just something I haven't quite seen before (think Ferris Bueller meets Dr. Phil). I watched it because of RDJ (playing a pissed off highschool principal), but the main kid was good in this.

I read a quote from a Universal exec who was surprised by The Dark Knight's overshadowing of The Mummy 3. What a tard. Anywho, here's the new Star Trek teaser. I wasn't feeling froggy enough to necro the old thread.





So much for a Christmas release, but I think it'll be cool.

They confirmed a release for next summer aways back.  It was the studios decision to push it back, which might actually work out well for them since next summer's roster of "blockbuster" movies looks like a pile of ass so far.

I want to like the new star trek but the cast they picked is very recognizable to me.

Harlod(sans kumar), sean of the dead, wynnona ryder and....


omg spock is eating brains!! sylar.

Don't get me wrong, it will probably be a fun movie but this isn't going to revitalize the series like batman begins did, just way too...hollywood?

Well at least Kirk's expression looks like he's about to fuck you.  Which is par the course for Kirk.

That Kirk shot looks like a ripoff of one of the promo shots for The Rules of Attraction.  Just with less sardonic smile.

I should rewatch that. Guaranteed to be better than a new goddamn Star Trek.

Four or five years later and I'm still not sure if I like Rules of Attraction.

Anyone taking bets on how many humans/aliens Kirk bags in the new flick?
