After the f***ing awesome year of movies just behind us (Matrix, Terminator 3 and lotr:rotk) I feel somewhat empty at the lack of promise for future movies to entertain me. Personally, I don't think any movie will enthrall me as much as the lotr trilogy did, but who knows.

The movie I am most amped up about doesn't come out for ages, that movie being x-men 3. After watching x2 for the second time today, I f***ing can't wait to see what happens in the third. I am hoping s*** really hits the fan, and the huge battle scenes really do begin, but I think it will be cool anyway.

um... go into your local video shop and watch *everything*


sif wait for new ideas when they've pretty much all been done better already eh

yeah - I meant *everything*.



seeya in a few years dude. starting in the pr0n section helps with the motivation to keep going ;)

sometimes it definitely is cool to watch a movie you always "meant to watch" but never got around to it... some real gems you never got a chance to see can be almost as good as seeing a new flick

Spiderman 2 and Van Helsing are up the top of my list at the moment, looking forward to both of them. Troy would be up there too.

Well I'm waiting for Episode 3 (shutup I don't care if you don't like it) and Spiderman 2.

Half-l.... oh, wait, this is movies,

Probably Van Helsing + Episode 3

Definitely X3 like you said f***pot, but for the moment it would be AVP which comes out in August.

SHREK 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1one.

Kill Bill. Volume 2

Harry Potter.

Pretty much Troy, Van Helsing, Hidalgo and Spiderman 2... oh and the Chronicles of Riddik - can't think of any others at the moment.

This one has me intressted though
http://qgl.ausforums.com/index.php/439207?agn=thread&id=2013615

I am hanging out for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ie: The latest Jim Carrey serious movie.
It looks fantastic.

I also want to see Big Fish and 21 Grams. I've avoided all trailers and reviews about both movies because I don't want them spoilt :/

Big Fish = Win Grosby, see it NOW!

Yuh, thinking of escaping the heat this weekend by going to see it. :)

Oh yes I also add Van Hellsing, X3 and Troy.

Harry Potter, and some of those sword people movies.

yeah, wanna see hellboy. I saw it advertised when I went to see underworld. Haven't heard anything about xmen 3 but I'll probably go see it when it comes out.

x3 isnt due until 2006

Go see dicky Roberetson. top movie

Spiderman 2

ARhaha, the first one was the f***ing worst movie ever. The green goblin, WTF! It was the worst comic to movie not including dare devil

daredevil should be renamed inconsistency

matrix was homo *shrug*

Matrix 1 was so freakin good. Good storyline, always entertaining, no holes in the story.

But the last 2 were just dog s***!

Reloaded was ok.

Revolutions was just pure pile of dog s***.

Im looking forward to Blade 3.

kill bill v2

Pretty much what people have posted:
- Kill Bill Vol.2
- Van Helsing
- Troy (although I think they changed the name of it from Trog to Troy)
- Spiderman 2
- Shrek 2 because I read a review which says it's just as good and if not better than the first
- Chronicles of Riddick.

Alot of others coming out that look good, but these are the top of the list.

Return of the King: extended edition

:D

Che
the Che Guevera biography starring Benicio Del Toro.
doesnt ocme out til 2005 though :(

Oh yeah, Chronicles of Riddick definately, that looks freaking hardcore. Also, Alien vs Predator. I was dubious about it until I saw an interview with Paul Anderson (the director) and hes got some awesome ideas for it, so it should be good.

And Resident Evil 2, thats due out this year, can't forget that :)

ARhaha, the first one was the f***ing worst movie ever. The green goblin, WTF! It was the worst comic to movie not including dare devil

Seriously, are you on crack? Because describing Spiderman as the worst movie ever definately points towards some kind of crack addiction. Spiderman was easily one of the best comic book to movie translations yet (alongside X-men), and easily one of my favourite movies of that year.

I'm with Khel all the way on this one, you obviously know nothing about Spiderman if you can't see the importance of the Green Goblin being the villain in the first movie.

omg CoR is the sequel to pitch black?!? they better do a better fkn job than on the first movie. that was the worst, most evil piece of ass ive ever had to sit through

bubba hotep & a few others already listed by other ppls...

p.s. i also reckn spiderman was arse. that whiney fukn sook they cast as peter parker WAS NO PETER PARKER!@# & if you cant see that then YOU'RE no spiderman fan!@@#$ peter parker was a jive-talking wise-cracking smooth muthr... a crazy no-time-for-saftey scientist hell bent on discovery!@#! not some uuueeeewwwwww my hands are hairy, whiny lil boy.
the saving grace was teh awesome cartoon action hero swinging through the city scenes. the green goblin was also lamer than i remember him being.
bring on DOC OCT!~ :D

yup, AVP and Troy are looking to be pretty exciting:D

London Shaggers #6

Havnt heard of Chronicles of Riddick....anyone fill me in?

asifnt club dread

i'm looking forward to a movie where america blows the f*** up

cuz goddammit i hate that c***ree

Kill Bill Vol 2.
Troy
Resident Evil 2

Probably in that order...

I was dubious about it until I saw an interview with Paul Anderson (the director) and hes got some awesome ideas for it, so it should be good.

I was open-minded until i saw that interview. Seems like the movie will be completely plot free, and just have loads of zombies predators and aliens running about killing people and each other.

"Rest assured there will be more than one predator."

Havnt heard of Chronicles of Riddick....anyone fill me in?

prequel to pitch black i think

the butterfly effect

Shrek 2, Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Resident Evil 2 should all be awesome. Troy looks awesome by the trailer, but I won't know til i've seen it. Jersey Girl should be pretty good too.

X3 - Kill Bill 2 - Shrek 2 - Spiderman 2 - Troy - Van Helsing

theres a few others I'm looking forward too, but they are definately up there.

Havnt heard of Chronicles of Riddick....anyone fill me in?

Go watch the trailer.

troy
spider man 2
xmen 2

Spider man was a good comic to movie flim but if it didnt have the comic to back it up it wouldn't of got as far as it did. It was OK nothing more nothing less

That little emoticon you used looks like its getting ready to suck cock, much like your post does.

kat in a porn flick... not.. :P

1. Club Dread
2. Walking Tall

Khel and what about ur posts ? they don't i assume?

khel officially owns this thread - that call was gold!

kat in a porn flick

there's prolly one out there - *shudders*

Chronicles of Riddick looks like absolute ASS. Well the trailer portrays that anyways.

LotR: RotK (Extended Edition)
Kill Bill Volume 2
Xmen3
Van Helsing
Alien vs Preditor
Resident Evil 2
The Village
Indiana Jones 4 (i don't hold much hope for it but im still interested to see what it'll be like)

Apparently there are also meant to be full length movies of Family Guy and The Simpsons in the works so if they ever come out i'll be looking forward to seeing them.

The Village

How can anyone seriously be looking forward to that? M. Night Shyamamamamamamamalan has got a lot of f***ing making up to do after Unbreakable and Signs, and personally I dont hold a lot of faith that hes got what it takes. If this one is over-rated drivel like the last two then it will just put the final nail into his coffin. Sixth Sense really was just a fluke :(

I haven't seen signs and I really liked unbreakable, surprised that you didn't like it Khel as you seem to have similar tastes to me.

Unbreakable pissed me off so much, it was just so ambiguous and so pointless; it never felt like it got going for me. It also felt a bit disjointed at times and just didn't seem to flow properly. It was an interesting concept but it was really poorly executed.

Signs wasn't THAT bad, but once again it was nowhere near as good as the trailers had made out. It started really well, and I was really enjoying it until they just show you the aliens, that takes all the mystery out of it then. I reckon it would have been a much better, much more effective movie if you never really saw the aliens, instead it just turned into some tacky "OMG ALIENS ARE INVADING, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES" type movie.

I was a bit over unbreakable until the end. I think they could have a done a bit more with the movie after he discovers his gifts and starts using them. I thought the ending was pretty good though, although the convo with Mr Glasses mum gave it away a bit.

I really liked the fact Unbreakable was so ambiguous. It was a selling point for me.

I'm looking forward to Hellboy, Helsing has my interest (but I don't hold much hope for it) and Chronicles of Riddick sounds interesting. But the one movie I'm really hanging out for is Bubba Ho-Tep. It's been out for ages but hasn't gotten wide distribution yet. Why am I keen to see it? Bruce Campbell as Elvis fighting an ancient Egyptian evil directed by Don Coscarelli (phantasm) based on a short story by Joe Lansdale. Yeah baby! And besides, I have a friend in Canada who saw it at the premiere (with Bruce Campbell) and he thought it was great.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to "pleasant surprises". No that's not a movie so don't go looking it up. I mean films like The Ring, or Session 9, or Frailty that come out of nowhere and you watch them and go "WOW!"

the butterfly effect!!!

(in english too)

Bruce Campbell as Elvis fighting an ancient Egyptian evil

Serious Sam? :/

AVP AVP AVP AVP AVP AVP !!!!!

instead it just turned into some tacky "OMG ALIENS ARE INVADING, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES" type movie.

I think that was kinda his point, hence the theme music. I did find the ending kinda boring, but i liked the way they hid the aliens from the audience for most of the movie. Unbreakable sucked, though.

im waiting for:

Final Fantasy 7 - Advent Children
The Butterfly Effect (out in aus yet?)
and
any movie like lotr thats just as good

Final Fantasy 7 - Advent Children

Maybe i've been living in a cave in afghanistan but when did this new final fantasy movie get announced?

The first one was balls.

theres been posts about it nf, there was one like the day b4 yesturday

Lost in La Mancha

Because

I watched a few preview dvd's over the weekend that I can highly recommend once they get released in the next couple of months.

- Japanese Story, stars Toni Collette

Against the background of an Australian desert landscape, so much space and so few people, Sandy, a geologist, and Hiromitsu, a Japanese businessman, play out a story of human inconsequence in the face of the blistering universe. The end of the journey leaves no-one capable of going back to where they started from.

Very f***ing cool movie. I thought it started off slow and was hoping it would pick up a bit and luckily it did. The overall pace of the film is slow but the story just gets better and better as it goes along. I can't recommend this movie enough and the last 20 or so minutes are really f***ing emotional.

- Gettin Square, stars David Wenham and Gary Sweet

This movie sorta reminded me of Dirty Deeds where there was the usual double-crossing with a bunch of smart and dumb criminals. However, I think it was really David Wenhams character that did it for me. Man, he played the best low life junky and his f***ing clothes were hilarious and not to forget his awesome mullett either. Another awesome Aussie movie which I highly recommend.

- Matchstick Men, stars Nicolas Cage, Alison Lohman and Sam Rockwell

Roy Waller is a simple man. He has a clean house, a routine to follow every morning, and a neurotic lifestyle that makes Jack Nicholson in As Good as It Gets seem normal. Roy partners with Frank Mercer, the complete opposite of Roy. Both men scam older people out of money as a career. When Roy's life gets thrown into a bit of a tumble when he has to go visit a psychiatrist about this obsessive compulsive life, things start to turn bad. When Roy meets his long lost daughter, Angela, it seems to get worse, but ends up better. Roy starts teaching Angela the routine of scamming and begins to find that she's catching on and helping out more than he expected (for him and his business).

This film was made by Ridley Scott and it was something I hadn't heard of until I saw the preview sitting at work. Definately better than the crap that was Master & Commander (something else I also watched on the weekend but hated). Definately recommend this movie as well although it does start off rather slow it turns out to be a great movie. The ending is f***ing excellent too, so I wont say anything else about it in case I ruin it.

- Blue Car, stars David Strathairn and Agnes Bruckner

Gifted 18-year-old Meg (Bruckner) has been abandoned by her father and neglected by her hardworking mother. Left to care for her emotionally disturbed younger sister, her world begins to unravel. She finds an outlet in writing poetry and support from her English teacher, Mr. Auster (Straithairn). But what started out as a mentoring relationship begins to get a bit more complex.

This was another flick I had no idea about. Twas the second movie on one of the previews and by looking at the cover it doesn't look anything special. It's a good feeling when you decide to watch something and find out it's really an amazing film. This is pretty much a chick flick but if you don't mind sitting thru stuff like this I can't recommend this enough. The only thing I didn't like about this one was the teacher actually getting it on with the girl near the end of the movie. It really didn't need it, it didn't ruin the movie but I felt it could have been done better if that hadn't of happened.

So you guys should know by now I have awesome taste in movies and if you're looking for something cool to watch these movies are worth it. None of these are big blockbusters and you might have to look a bit harder to see them on the shelves, not like the crap that is Legally Blonde 2 with it's 40 f***ing dvd covers tarnishing the shelves.

8-)

Also one last thing, there is a new movie coming out next month and it's called It Runs In The Family. It stars Michael Douglas, Kirk Douglas and Cameron Douglas. You've probably guessed they're all related. This movie is complete drival and should be left alone and sent straight to the weekly section. The thing that really erked me about this movie was Kirk Douglas. Now back in the 50,s thru to the 80's he made alot of good movies and should be commended. But these days he's just usless and bogs down anything. It's obvious that sometime ago he had a stroke and now has some type of speech impediment and this is what ruins the movie. You really can't understand a f***ing thing he says anytime he says something. It really is quite embarrasing for all involved and although it's a "cute" idea to get the sons of a well-known family together in one movie, this just doesn't work at all. So hopefully this type of thing wont happen again and we can all get on with our lives.

I think Kill Bill second part would be the only movie I would willingly give up my money for, excluding days where i suffer from severe boredom or hangover

I liked the fact they howed you the aliens. Otherwise it would have been like every other movie that would work material like that.

But showing the aliens took all the suspense out of the movie! Especially considering they were dumb looking, naked green men. If they'd showed the aliens, and the aliens were hardcore, and it led to some hardcore scenes with them trying to escape the aliens, then that would be cool. Instead, it just ruined the only thing it had going for it (the psychological suspense angle) and replaced it with nothing of substance.

Of course, the fact that a race of aliens who are killed by water decide to invade a planet that is 75% covered in water is a pretty huge flaw in the movie from the word go.

Ahahaha SiGNs was a really good movie upto the aliens actually showing up, at which point directorial direction became Ed Woodish.

from original post

After the f***ing awesome year of movies just behind us (Matrix

every time I open this thread this sentence disturbs me.

afterall its cool to hate sequels isnt it.

another band wagon

episode 3 right here.

I thought Reloaded was awesome, and Revolutions passable.

My Lack of faith ISN'T disturbing :

Ep1 = rancid dog turd baking in the
sun.

Ep2 = the son of rancid dog turd baking in the sun. (except for the 30 odd unoriginal seconds that Yoda
goes Matrix on Lord Dookie's ass)

What is disturbing is that George Lucas and his zombie fanboy legions actually think he can direct.

Khel: I totally agree with u about "Signs". It was a very stylish piece of s***! I honestly dont know how the f*** it even got made with its monumentally stupid plot flaw.
I mean honestly after all the Movie Aliens that we have watched for the last 30-40 yrs. All M.Nite Shamalan
could come up with was Nude Little Green Men who can be mutilated with a glass of water that come to Earth (which has a surface of 2/3 water)armed only with Fart Gas. To top it all off they can be beaten to Death with wooden Baseball Bats. Not bad for creatures that are so advanced that they have travelled Through space to invade Earth.

afterall its cool to hate sequels isnt it.

no I just hates the matrix ones. I thought LOTR sequels were excellent especially TT and I loved X2. I also enjoyed Ep1 & 2 but they aren't nearly as good as 4, 5 or 6 which is an unfair comparison.

Surely someone here has heard of Blade 3 comming out as it hasn't been mentioned besides me yet.

C'mon i cant be the only one hyped about it....

bring on the CHA CHING !!!

Well seeing as Blade 2 sucked most people aren't hanging for a 3rd in the series.

I thought the first one kinda sucked...in the second one he just kicked a whole lotta vampire ass as he realised his potential in being the daywalker. Abit like neo in reloaded (s*** that's no a selling point)....

I kinda liked blade 2, the reapers were pretty lame though.

I liked Blade and Blade 2, they were both pretty cool in their own ways, and Wesley Snipes is a bit of a hardcore muthaf***er when hes playing Blade. The third one sounds interesting, but considering I haven't seen any trailers or anything like that for it, I'm not bothering to get hyped about it yet.

TAKING LIVES

http://takinglives.warnerbros.com/

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome!

Cool. Really hanging out to see Buba Ho-Tep and I hope it gets some kind of cinema release here. Haven't Bruce on screen since Evil Dead 3 except for a few small rolls.

Bubbaho-tep looks non-scary but funny. The quicktime trailer is funny.

The story is really tongue in cheek. Heck it's about an evil egyptian spirit that sucks your soul out through your ass (I wanna know how they deal with that in the movie)!

Lansdale does write some really gut wrenching stuff. But Bubba Ho-Tep is definitely more fun than frights. I hate ordering stuff from O/S but I might break my rule for that DVD...
