Ben Stiller is hilarious when his characters get backed in a corner, and he starts ranting, all jaded like. Can't think of any particular scene to point it out... but I could never get tired of the guy for that. He's got to stop playing that same Zoolander/White Goodman character. What's the relation? Those two are completely different! |

I  The Gamers. The DVD has an option for Latin subtitles. Its free on instant viewing if you have a Netflix account (well, free within your download limit, if you have one). Just finished watching it, and it was pretty funny. Not OMG awsome, but far far better than the trailer leads you to believe. I thought the trailer was funny, but the movie starts slow. If you can get about 20-30 minutes into it, it gets a whole lot funnier than it starts. |

The sequel's supposed to be coming out sometime this month (after years of distributor problems). Mostly the same guys making it, but with a bigger budget and a feature length running time.  |

My point about Jack Black wasn't that we needed more of the character he played; we needed more Jack Black shining through the character. There are probably dozens of fat guys who could have played that role with 90% effectiveness. If Jack was allowed to do his thing a bit more the character would have been a lot funnier.
Also, I could go my entire life and die happy if I never see/hear another flatulence joke. It really stopped being funny when I was about 13.

It was clear that while Stiller had the core idea of a great movie he just isn't talented to flesh it all out well. Only Stiller and RDJ had great characters, the rest were fairly "meh", he didn't even do a good job ripping off Boondock's Gangstalicious, crossing him with Luda was silly, also the "your not black" bits w/ him and RDJ didn't make me laugh hard enough. Except the slap back, that was amusing. The jew, agent and pyrotecnics guy (just saw him in an indy movie where he's a kung fu teacher) really bailed out the poorly written/designed other members of the main cast. |

Just watched Vantage Point, meh.
The story was unbelievably bad. The rewinding of scenes was pretty awful too.
Perhaps if they had spent some time on explaining why the characters were involved it would have helped.

Proud to say I've never seen any of them. Random: I would watch one if they got Keanu Reeves though. Seriously. I'm willing to admit that somehow, that guy makes shitty action movies watchable. Somehow.  [edit] On another note: The Fountain fucking sucks. |

Watched District B13 yesterday. It is a French action movie based in the near future, quite good chase scenes and a pretty good resolution at the end. I would suggest renting it if you get a chance. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414852/ |

Oh, it hurts us. Why Vin, why would you return to the dog vomit that is this series? Gasoline hijacking? Really? I feel dumber for having watched it. |

Watched Intacto the other day - slightly offbeat Spanish thriller about a group of people who are supernaturally lucky. It was pretty good - liked it a lot. |

That makes me sad. Someone needs to nuke Fox from orbit before they do any more damage. It's the only way to be sure.

A little Ben Stiller goes an incredibly long way for me. If you don't have this same aversion, he won't bug you at all. He was definitely used less than his other star vehicles, which made it tolerable. That is a good explanation of why Tropic Thunder worked. That and the supporting cast was really good (except for the real black guy who was a throw away.) I laughed more than several (but less than many) times at TT. Tom Cruise needs to do more roles like that. It makes me almost like him. I also saw Dark Knight. Nothing to add but another layer of "awesome!" |

Don't be so sure. Sounds to me like the frenchman was going to fuck up a good Vin Diesel action movie. |

I just say Babylon A.D. and It had so much potential...
it looks like they cut maybe about 30 minutes of the movie. The ending is kind of abrupt and the scenes kind of all just jump with any lack of finesse.
I liked most of it.. I mean as a Vin Diesel sci-fi/action movie, I wasn't expecting much. However it just pisses me off at what could have been.

It was apparently cut by a decent amount.

According to the director about 15 minutes were cut. I believe the Euro version is about 11 minutes longer than the U.S. version.

Its confusing, but apparently it wasn't that much. The last stroke, Kassovitz says, was when Fox interfered with the editing of the film, paring it down to a confusing 93 minutes (original reports were that 70 minutes were cut from the film; Kassovitz says the number is closer to 15).

God I hope so. It had a lot of some potential with the first hour. |

I agree. It had potential then after an hour it started wandering. I thought the Merovingian would boost interest but no luck.
