Cloverfield, the Collector and Disbelief - Apr 23, 2008 - 05:30pm
Well, to be honest I a a very hard critic when it comes to movies. Yet, I know how to suspend belief, how else could I enjoy FF and Hellboy? Seriously though, when directors and FANS say they want realism in movies and want to make it as real as possible, then do so. Do not make the movie half-assed because you know it can gain hype. For instance: If NEWS crews are filming the monster attacking the city, why would they want to watch footage that is barely comprehensible and rarely shows the monster? You have news crews that are looking DIRECTLY at monster? Stuff like that just irritates me. The Government will not watch 30 minutes of a party and then watch 5 mins of monster from amateur footage. Yeah, right. Another example is Batman Begins. People love this movie because it is "real" Even Nolan states that he can only do a batman movie if it is done with realism. Not gimmicks. Weird, since when is driving a TANK on a roof REAL? Not Gimmicking at all. Yet, fans eat up the hype and always will. So Hollywood is doing something right. This is why we have people who know nothing of story and real element making movies. And we will continue to get garbage. I mean we are getting a remake of Freddy, Jason (already did Michael...with the horrid Halloween remake), Critters, The Thing and now Child's Play! Come on! USE THE BRAIN PEOPLE! If you want it real, make it real, you want it original, then do so.
Ratner Set for Incredible SHRINKING Man - Apr 18, 2008 - 07:51pm
LOL! BHC: 4, and it will be called something like, 'To Be Or Not To Be A Beverly Hills Cop'. Or TBONTBABHC for short.
To be honest, I am not excited about this movie, but I am sick of people saying he is a bad director and "ruined" X3, I think the time given him, we got a great movie.
Oh, and I HATE remakes. I am sick of them!! SICK!
There is now a rumor of remaking Critters and Puppet Master, I mean come on, get over it. ORIGINAL.
Ratner Set for Incredible SHRINKING Man - Apr 18, 2008 - 03:06pm
What exactly is wrong with X3?
Ratner is a good director. Red Dragon was fantastic.
I enjoyed all three rush hour movies and I REALLY Like X3...much better than 2.
Imagine if Anderson (AVP) or Uwe Boll was considered.
I am sick of the Ratner hating.
MEDIUM: Partners in Crime - Apr 18, 2008 - 02:42pm
I want to watch this show. Is it good? I mean, is it good and not CORNY?
I start watching Bones, and I have to admit, it is ok and I like David....but Emily Deschanel is just not the right actress for that show.
I want to like it. I think I am getting there and I am interested in this show...but it seems like the Ghost Whisperer to me and I cannot stand that show.
First Pic of Joe's SCARLETT Revealed - Apr 18, 2008 - 02:27pm
I love GI Joe, and to be honest, I am not interested in this movie. No matter HOW hot she is....and yes....it is a shame they cut off her butt....
Michael Stahl-David Responds to CLOVERFIELD 2 - Apr 18, 2008 - 02:16pm
Oh my gosh. This movie is horrid and the whole idea of a sequel makes no sense. Leave it alone let it die.
No offense, but a news crew "follows" the monster? The disaster? Then why even bother with the amateur footage? It would negate it.
That is a reason I thought Cloverfield was horrid. We have a guy filming TV in which we can see they have a better glimspe of the monster. it just seems juvenile.
X-Files 2 Title Revealed by Carter - Apr 16, 2008 - 04:10pm
Hey, I just posted this...where is the love man?
WHERE IS THE LOVE?!!?
July 25th is gonna be a good day.
New X-FILES 2 Photos Pop Up Online - Apr 13, 2008 - 03:10pm
LOL!!!
I love the responses. I am not allowed to input my opinion, but it is PERFECT for everyone else. Classic.
Also, mla, Do you know what bias means? LOL!!!!!!
Everyone, we all know Lost, is well LOST on its own story and where to take it. Nothing you can do about that. The X-Files had depth and didn't rely on a continuation. It made GREAT stand alone episodes along with great Mythology episodes.
If you like LOST, great. Enjoy the mediocre television.
I will stick to intelligent, fun Television.
New X-FILES 2 Photos Pop Up Online - Apr 12, 2008 - 03:09pm
Whoa...whoa.whoa......WHOAA!!! WHAT. THE. FUCK?
People on here are seriously stating that LOST, is BETTER than The X-Files?
NO WAY.
Please, give us some insightful answers on why LOST is better. PLEEEEEEEEASE. Could it be that seasons 1 and 2 are almost EXACTLY the same?
I do agree BSG is a good show. However, for me The X-Files is the best show on TV. Well, WAS on TV. LOST is nothing but redundancy. At least the X-Files changed TV, it was graphic, insightful, thoughtful, and even funny. It was scary, personal and suspenseful. Show like Home and The End and others were fantastic. The X-Files WORST episodes (Mostly seasons 8 and 9) run circles around LOST "BEST" episodes. If LOST even has good ones.
Seriously, does anyone know the show? He has the poster back, yes it could be his OFFICE or his apartment. It is known they are FBI agents again, not in the beginning, but it happens. This movie is made to spark Duchovny's career? Has anyone heard of the hit show called Calfornication? Critically and viewer acclaimed show that he produces and stars in? He is doing good. What Anderson? She is doing grat as well. Anyone seen the fantastic Closure? She was wonderful.
I agree, she is getting HOTTER and HOTTER! Yum.
daforce, you are so right, the writers of LOST had no Clue, in fact, they were lost on any story idea. Yes, it was going to be canceled, after season 2, it was apparent that the show had no legs or life.
Wow, I cannot believe the lack of taste on this site sometimes. What is next? Family Guy is a groundbreaking Animated show? Geez.
haven't been this pissed in a loooooooong time. Whew.
U.K Gets BOND 22 on Halloween - Mar 19, 2008 - 10:20pm
I hated Casino Royale, talk about over the top crap.
Oh during a knife fight I am am going to be distracted if someone motions behind me...WHAT?!??!
Anyways...is Bond blind now in the movie? is this the darker element?
SUPERMAN Sequel Begins Script Phase - Mar 14, 2008 - 02:44pm
Sorry Merin, but you stated what you believe to be accurate. Not what is ACTUALLY accurate.
However, I am glad that you are ending this debate as reading your books can be more of a chore than actually writing one.
:)
SUPERMAN Sequel Begins Script Phase - Mar 13, 2008 - 02:24pm
Hmmm.....everyone knows how Much I hate and despise SR. It was a rehash of The First movie. It had little action, little story, little creativity.
Sorry, Merin, I usually get your posts. I really do. but you are going to far. Even the studio stated the movie was not what it would have liked it to be.
SR was not a good movie, people wanted to like, they made themselves like. They wanted Superman to be back on the big screen they looked passed the obvious errors and bad writing. The suit, Bosworth, The kid, Lex as the Villian. Real Estate as the Plot. However, as the movie sunk in, people started to realize it was not all that great.
I am sorry, but I do not agree the Staduim scene was in either way emotional or scene stealing.
Yes, the movie made SOME money. It was not in anywaye profitable for WB. Superman should have been bigger and better than Spider-man. It was nothing short of disappointing.
Merin, you can give us links and crop reports and show us what you think makes SR a success. As you know, when people post about how they like SR or loved it, they always state they are in the minority. Interesting. Very few like or love the movie, MANY hate and are disappointed with it.
You writing novels will not change that.
New Official Trailer for SPEED RACER - Mar 13, 2008 - 09:42am
all the gayness aside, this trailer has changed my opinion. I will be there opening night. This movie looks GREAT! It is abit colorful for my taste, but damn it has got bite.
Ricci looks good in this movie as well....all except "cool beans". Bleh.
Ok, I will let the gaylords get back to their cuddling.
JERICHO: Termination for Cause - Mar 12, 2008 - 10:40pm
Jericho is a really, really good show.
I watched in on DVD again, and was again blown away.
The show is cancelled (according to insider source) and that makes me a little upset. They premiered the second season during the writers strike. They could have at least waited until it was over.
Also, I feel they didn't really promote it all that well.
Jericho is a sold show and I wish it would stay on the air. We get crap like CSI and Without a Trace, but good quaility shows are always cancelled. Drives me insane. I wish it were on Fox, becasue then it would have staying power. Hell Prison Break is still on....Jericho should be given the saem respect.
First HULK Teaser Trailer Online - Mar 12, 2008 - 07:49pm
Um, biogeek.
You can watch it in HIGH-DEF. Nifty huh?
Even in High Def. It looks bad.
DEATHLY HALLOWS Split into Two Films - Mar 12, 2008 - 05:53pm
Oh Come on!! That is retarded!
It is a little too late to finally decide to split a Harry Potter book.
In my opinion, they are picking the wrong book. They could have done that a movie or two ago!
I for one, will not be watching it. I love the movies (except the last one...yawn!), bu tI am not going to be duped into watching an EXTRA movie.
Bleh.
SUPERMAN Sequel Begins Script Phase - Mar 12, 2008 - 05:46pm
LOL!!!
Singer still thinks he is going to direct the sequel?
That is hilarious. As I have stated before. He will NOT direct the sequel.
In fact, he is not even being considered. So why keep lying to the press like he did in the past? Get over yourself Singer.
First HULK Teaser Trailer Online - Mar 12, 2008 - 05:39pm
Um, sorry is it just me or does the hulk look like Ang Lee's hulk except more muscular?
I am not impressed with this movie. I was really hyped about this movie and it is not really getting me excited. Damn! You know what? I was really wanting this to blow my socks off.
It is only a trailer and I really want to like this movie, but it is looking like this is not gonna be the smash we were expecting.
To be honest, I like the Lost Boys: The Tribe trailer more than the Hulk trailer! the CGI does not look impressive either. Dang, I need to quit thinking about the trailer because I will just get upset and will not want to watch the movie.
Wait for It... - Mar 12, 2008 - 10:30am
themovielord!!??!? You're Trate?
Oh CRAP!! Now I feel freaking torn. I HATE Your DVD articles man, HATE them. I have to be honest with you! They drive me nuts. I was wondering "Who the helli s this guy? he can't spell and gets all his facts wrong!"
However,
I LOVE your movie reviews. I MISS those man. What the frick? Why are you not doing MOVIE reviews? DVD movie reviews...yeah in the same vicinity, yet it feels different. Your movie reviews RIZZOCKED!
Well, you are a good writer and I am gonna support you regardless! KEEP IT UP!
Oh and that is hilarious about the spell check changing it to blue-ray. Classic.
Hey, just liven up your DVD articles. Give it a little of the 'ol themovielord pizazz.
Affleck Ready to Adapt BLADE ITSELF - Mar 11, 2008 - 11:23pm
I have confidence in Ben, Gone, Baby Gone is a great movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Bring it on!
Wait for It... - Mar 11, 2008 - 11:05pm
First....let me get this off my chest. IT IS BLU-RAY. Not BluE-Ray. GEEZ.
Trate, seriously, you need spell check. Who are you?
I am not happy with this either. However, I am getting another Indy film so I cannot complain.
Oh, and No country for Old Men is great. I really enjoyed that film.
AvP Sequel Talks Continue at Fox - Mar 11, 2008 - 10:49pm
I enjoyed AvP:R, I thought it was fun and it actually felt a lot like ALiens and Predator Mixed together.
I did not like however the Predalien. The movie should have been called PRedalien instead of AvP:R, but whatever.
I hope the Third one is in space with no Predalien and just a full out battle. Oh, and PLEASE. LET SOMEONE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IRON MAN SB Spot Online - Feb 03, 2008 - 11:22pm
I agree with the last shot as well, I thought it looked to CGI, but that trailer has me REALLY excited.
Cannot wait to watch this on the big screen. Oh....and the Giants won! YES!
HANNAH MONTANA Tunes Up Record Debut - Feb 03, 2008 - 08:46pm
Cloverfield is a horrible movie. The box office shows this.
I knew Cloverfield would lose its momentum and this proves it.
juno is a fantastic movie as is Rambo. Untraceable and the Bucket List were excellent as well. I was actually surprised by 'The Eye', I didn't think I would enjoy it, but I did.
I do not see the appeal of Hannah Montana either, but at least she is a little bit more of a positive role model, Look at Jamie Lynn Spears. Not so much.
NIGHTMARE Series Getting Remade.. - Jan 29, 2008 - 10:49pm
DAMN!!!
Why? Why are they remaking this? There is absolutely no reason to give this franchise a remake or an overhaul.
Again, American Cinema is pissing me off and they have nothing original. NOTHING ORIGINAL.
I love the old school NOES movies, they need to be left alone. This news really pisses me off.
RAMBO - Jan 27, 2008 - 05:36pm
A B+? Really? I would give it a solid A. I thought the movie was great, unbelievably GRAPHIC, but a great movie regardless. Stallone (even hopped up on growth hormones) is a really talented guy.
Stallone wrote and directed a really fun and eye-opening movie. Although, I hope this is his last sequel to his 80's blockbusters. Yet, then again, he surprised the HELL out of me with Rocky Balboa.
Oh, and Boxofficemojo.com staes Rambo is number 1, even though it made less than Meet the Spartans. I was hoping Rambo would be number one....but legitimately.
30 Rock Rocks! - Jan 27, 2008 - 05:30pm
I love 30 Rock. It is one of the smartest shows out there!
I REALLY miss The Office, 30 Rock and My Name is Earl. My Tivo has nothing to record! NOTHING!!!!!!!!
And how is Flash gordon still on? What an AWFUL, AWFUL show.
Update: Ledger's Autopsy Is Inconclusive - Jan 23, 2008 - 12:34am
I have noticed as well that many other forums are really disrespectfu and have really nasty things to say about Heath.
Here, on Mania, it has been positive and I love that. Everyone knows my feelings on him being cast for the Joker. However, that is niether here nor there. I am am looking at this fine actor and see so much potential.
Watching the Patriot a little while ago, just reminded me of how great he can really be.
Also, I thought abotu the The Crow and Joker makeup and cannot believe the odds of both of them dying while looking surprisingly similiar.
SPOILER X-FILES 2 Pics Online - Jan 22, 2008 - 07:01pm
With the News about Heath Ledger Passing, it is hard to get excited.
However, seeing these pics makes me even more enthused about this production! Good Lord I cannot wait for this movie!!! Bring it on!
Update: Ledger's Autopsy Is Inconclusive - Jan 22, 2008 - 06:58pm
Regardless of anyones opinions....including my own.
Heath, you are a great actor and a person that took bold choices when acting. You will be missed on screen. Thank you for what you have done and may you rest in peace.
It seems that your time was to soon. I will be watching The Patriot and 10 things I hate about you as a tribute to your life. God Bless!

HD STAR TREK Teaser Online - Jan 21, 2008 - 07:13pm
Hmmm, I hate Star Trek? Riiiiiight. What is Next? X-Files is a crappy show?
Look, I LOVE Star Trek. Tha tis my point with this worthless "Reboot" "re-imaging", or "re-whatever-you-want-to-call-it"
T2 assembly line was fantastic. It was about a character we rarely see fully. It looked good. The Enterprise being BUILT!?!? Do they evne know their Star Trek Mythology? Seriously, where do they get off.
A lot fo you know I am HUGELY against this remake. However, opening weekend I will feel vinidcated and JJ Abrams will be exposed for the hack he is.
Oh and another thing, they wanted this t have a REAL feel to it? WTF? IT IS STAR TREK! Everything we know now is based of of Star Trek.....now we are going BACK to the beginning of the mythology?
they shoudl have either left the franchise ALONE, or try to make a REALLY good movie with all three shows (TNG, DS9, VOY)
Buuuut nooooo, we have ot screw around with something we have already come to love and know. It is just pathetic.
HD STAR TREK Teaser Online - Jan 21, 2008 - 04:04pm
HOW can this teaser get ANYONE excited? It is a freaking teaser about the Enterprise being built.
CONSTRUCTION. Construction tells people that his movie will be good? Yeah, it is a teaser, that shows nothing and has a horrible Spock voice over and partial Star Trek Music.
Geez, I cannot get how this movie will be remotely good. Ot how anyone thinks it will be or this teaser is worthy of excitement.
Marvel Comics vs Science: The 5 Most Absurd Superhero Origins - Jan 20, 2008 - 01:49pm
Hmmmmm.....well....I could have done with the porn references and vulgar language.
I get the Article, but come one! IT IS FANTASY!
It is a good effort regardless Pinketton, but quit cussing every five seconds and use analogies that not only make sense but are not derived from porn scenes.
Imagine if Jon Stewart did that! Oh...wait.
DAMN IT.
The Pranksters of Sion - Jan 20, 2008 - 01:42pm

Did I state that I didn't comprehend it? Or did I state that no one liked?
Hmmm....maybe you should READ and then Decipher the meaning of a post.
Anywho....back to the Chargers and Pat....damn it is half time! Now how will I entertain myself? .....Oh and GOOO GIANTS!
CLOVERFIELD - Jan 20, 2008 - 01:11pm
vichussmith,
What on earth do you mean? After 15min of the movie starting, there is no refund.
You really have to bitch and moan in order to get your money back AFTER you watched the WHOLE thing.
CLOVERFIELD Monster Attacks January Records - Jan 20, 2008 - 12:20pm
LOL! Riiight. Lets look at January Records, lets not put into account Inflation or anything, because that doesn't matter. I paid freaking TWENTY FOUR dollars for TWO Tickets Last night.
Why didn't you mention how it dropped on Sat? honestly, I do not see the profit! With SOOOOO much Viral and ads for this film, it had to a lot more than this. I do grant that they used cheapo cameras compared to Studio Cameras, but still. LOL. Yeah....no politics here!
The Pranksters of Sion - Jan 20, 2008 - 11:48am
And yet the article gets two bangs. No one likes it, yet it is popular. It is like Hilary Clinton and the '08 election, but for Mania.
CLOVERFIELD - Jan 20, 2008 - 10:01am
Well, I feel better. Yeah I knew it was going to be number one this weekend. However, Word of mouth really helped the movie sink on Saturday and Sunday (I know the NFL Playoffs are starting today (sunday) and I am EXCITED! What? I can't be a geek and Jock?)
Anyways, Fri the movie made about 17mil and sat it made 13.8mil and then Sunday of course it made even less cash with 10mil. A 17-25 percent drop is not good. In fact it is supposed to do more business on Sat (if it is not a HUGE blockbuster and makes all its money on Fri) So I feel better. Cloverfield was just an over hyped movie. Yes, people will realize later it is garbage and that is fine, It happened with the over hyped SR and Spider-man 3. Cloverfield will be no different as will be the Star Trek movie. I am just glad that people spoke out. My aunt saw it in Michigan and she said the theater booed there as well. So, it is hard for me to believe people really cheered this movie or left really appreciating it.
Sadly, the ending is an obvious solute to a sequel. Just leave it alone. Let Japan do the Godzilla movies. Please? Thanks.
CLOVERFIELD - Jan 19, 2008 - 09:53pm
Well, I saw it and it was exactly what I thought it would be. Garbage. the shaky cam does nothing but take away from the experience. It is nothing new, it is basically Godzilla with good CGI and jagged cuts and shots.
I am surprised others admitted that the audienced booed in the theatres because that is EXACTLY what they did at mine. Yet, somehow this movie is getting rave reviews?
Oh and the Star Trek XI teaser is nothing more than construction on the Enterprise and people are creaming themselves over it? Not only that, Leonard Nimoy's voice is the one that says Kirks line? The Movie will bomb.
Top 6 Reasons 2008 Could be the Year of PS3 - Jan 15, 2008 - 07:15pm
SO is this a PS3 Xbox thing?
To be honest, PS3 will not be much this year. It has to much ground to catch up on.
Xbox has plenty in line for their releases. As for the Wii, which is briefly mentioned, Who cares about Hard drives? Wii and Xbox have USB ports, I bought a 200G for my Wii for 70 bucks, And it is STILL cheaper than the PS3 by leaps and bounds. And 200G is a lot more than 80G. Not a great selling point. Same for the Xbox. I love both my Xbox 360 and Wii. PS3 has turned me off fromt heir products altogether.
Seriously, having Blu-ray RAMMED down our throats it getting old. Wii will have some cool games coming. I am looking forward to Star Wars: FU. I think it will rock. Anothe rmetroid is in the works and LucasArts is finally getting the balls to make star wars games for the Wii. The Wii will still be the dominate console, due to a sad market and more being in stock. I loo at Best Buy and Target and Wal Mart.....guess what they have plenty off? PS3's. Wii are flying off the shelf. Is this a sad attemp at publicity by lying to the genearl public? All I have read lately is how PS3 will dominate this year....which sound familiar....Hmmmm....where di I hear this before? Oh thats right....LAST YEAR at this time. Get over it. PS3 is done.
SUPERMAN on Hold, JLA Trouble Continues - Jan 13, 2008 - 08:24pm
SONYMANswallows ,
I completely agree with you! Parker Posey would have been an EXCELLENT Lois Lane. She closely resembles Margot Kidder and can act like her as well.
Man.....why don't they just ASK us to make the films? Talk about Rude.
SUPERMAN on Hold, JLA Trouble Continues - Jan 12, 2008 - 07:50pm
As much as I love the Superman Comics, I do not consider the Death of Superman to be a Graphic Novel. In fact, I think it is one of the weaker series.
I am not a huge fan of Doomsday. I liked the concept, but they went about it all wrong.
One villain I would love to see is Metallo or Parasite, either one would be great visually and would add a kind of action not seen on film. As stated before, I am SICK of Lex. Give us a new take.
With our luck they will use Composite Superman or Gog. Or use Lex Luthor and have him create Galactic Golem to fight Supes. We need a great villain that could make us feel that Superman can die. Even Darkseid is a good idea.
As Long as Singer is gone, I am one happy fan. Now, lets get a director who understand Batman and I would be in comic heaven. OH JOY!
Schreiber Playing Creed in WOLVERINE? - Jan 12, 2008 - 09:35am
Wow. I have to admit, this is a bit of odd casting. However, I am excited about this movie. I will give this a shot.
Bat Battle: Who's The Best Movie Batman Ever? - Jan 12, 2008 - 09:21am
Hmmmmm.....Interesting. Failed to see the humor in the article, but whatever.
As for the actor who plays Bats. I have to say that Clooney and Keaton are tied for the best. Clooney got a raw deal with Batman and Robin. Seriously, When Clooney read about ice skating or even put them on, that should have given him a clue. Or the bat card.
You all know I hate Batman Begins and Have no desire for the sequel. I like Bale but I agree with others on here and stated so in my review. Bales Lisp and Batman voice are retarded. Also, The Battumbler driving on roofs? Being trained for years on an ice mountain and then falls down a building? Horrible movie. It really is.
So. Here is my list.
1. Keaton and Clooney
2. West
3.Bale
4. Kilmer
As much as I despise Bale as bats. Kilmer killed it for me. He was not in shape,, he was not menacing and his acting seemed half assed.
Rival Race Car for SPEED RACER - Jan 12, 2008 - 09:15am
I agree WISEGUY562. Even with the Wachowskis attached, the trailer and the story make me flinch. I am not impressed with this movie. I fail to see how this will be a smash in theaters, regardless of the fan base.
SUPERMAN on Hold, JLA Trouble Continues - Jan 12, 2008 - 09:13am
As I have stated many time before. Singer will NOT direct the next superman movie. To be honest, how anyone could like let alone LOVE SR is beyond me. For me, it was everything singer tried to change that ruined it. The Suit, the kid, Lois. The things he reused other bothered me. Lex, Property gain. Yeah, there was no action. However, I do not need action to sustain me. I need a good story and a good vision. Burton's Batman had barely any "action", yet it was good because of the story.
Furthermore, Singer doesn't have a grasp on the character like he did in X-men and X2. He seems to want to change everything while still trying to use the previous Reeves films. That is irritating. Either do your own thing or just stay with the continuity.
The fact remains, Singer is not wanted for this project, strike or no strike. It is obvious and I am glad the studio saw the movie for what it is. Garbage.
EDIT:
I want to clarify that I think Routh should stay as Supes. He was the ONLY good part of the movie.
JERICHO The Return - Dec 30, 2007 - 06:00pm
Now Ashley Scott can for SURE play a vulcan.....yummers! I SAID YUMMERS!
P.S.
That trailer kicks ass. Now I am all hyped....DAMMIT!
Glad Jericho is back....one of the few shows I am interested in.
Simpsons look HILARIOUS.
ALIENS VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM - Dec 27, 2007 - 09:07pm
As stated before, I thought this movie was good. The first one seemed really cheesy and had a more "Freddy VS. Jason" feel to it.
As I have said int he past, I hate that the aliens gestate in like five minutes and they still do that with this movie. that irritates me!
However, it was darker and feels more like the originals than the first one did and that makes me feel a little better. Oh and the predalien, though interesting, does not make sense, should just be an alien. Sick of the hybrid twist.
ALIENS VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM - Dec 26, 2007 - 08:59pm
I enjoyed this movie. In fact, it reminded me a lot of the originals. Not sure why people think this is too dark. That sounds redundant. That is like saying the Simpsons movie is too animated.
WOW DarkJedi, you have gained even more respect from me. ROCK ON!
This movie should probably have been made in space or not made at all. However, overall.....this movie was really fun....and A BILLION times better than the crapfest AvP.
Kristin Kreuk Leads STREET FIGHTER - Dec 23, 2007 - 10:30am
I tend to try and not watch Kristin or look at her pics as I have a habit of just going ga-ga over her. TO me, she is the perfect woman.
You cannot tell, but I stopped writing and stared at the pic for 12 minutes. Wow, she has me mesmerized!
The ONLY reason I would watch this, is to see her in tight clothes and kicking things.
Wow, I sound like a pig....oh well. She is beautiful.......too beautiful. LOL
HANCOCK Teaser Trailer in HD - Dec 22, 2007 - 07:40pm
High-Def or not, this still looks great!
I am Legend is really remarkable and this looks to be a great dramedy.
First Teaser Trailer for HELLBOY II - Dec 20, 2007 - 03:14pm
YES!!! HELL YES!!!
Screw it.....HELLBOY YES!!
I am looking forward to this movie. I loved the first one and this one looks liek they tried to follow the comic even more.
Bring it on!!!
Oh.....and Ron Perlman.....What the hell do you EAT?!?!? You are what? 90 years old? I envy you in so many ways (kissing selma blair) LOL.
New Trailer for Pixar's WALL-E - Dec 18, 2007 - 08:06pm
As I said before, this movie looks great! The CGI is really good. I mean, IT IS REALLY GOOD. I am excited about this movie. Story looks interesting. Bring it on.
Pixar has always made high quality films.
DARK KNIGHT Trailer Officially Hits the Web - Dec 17, 2007 - 07:43pm
**SPOILER**
The Prologue was ingenuous? WHAT?!?!?
First off, thugs shooting eachother around innocent people who do not scram or yell is not accurate. A Manager of the bank who talks like a gangster and mindlessly shoots rounds off is not smart.
Then, a BUS runs through the bank undetected and the Joker drives away behind a line of buses....that happen to be there? Like the cops have no clue the people witnessed a BUS crash through a building! This is the crap that irritates me. No one saw two men in masks glide down a rope onto the bank building? In BROAD DAYLIGHT? How can people look past the idiocy and say OOOO AHHHH....Batman and the Joker. It is hype.
Nothing more than that. No, I have desire to see or watch this movie. And yes, I will state how dumb this movie is. EVEN without seeing it. Sorry, but I hate how the Joker looks.
The movie seems more Stiff than dark and edgy. Joker looks like the crow and the movie just feels like it is being made with people who have no CLUE about the comics. NO CLUE. Also, the Joker is a person who loves to cause havoc. The Animated Batman had the perfect joker with the perfect line. Joker shoots a thug randomly without warning and then frowns, he then states: "Why, killing him didn't make me feel better at all." That is the Joker. Not this Nolan Film ACTING like a Batman film.
DARK KNIGHT Trailer Officially Hits the Web - Dec 16, 2007 - 11:06pm
As odd as this sounds. NotAFan is correct.
As I stated before, the "prologue" is boring if not illogical and the trailer seems stiff. The movie has a stiff feel to it. It is not dark it feels depressing. It just does not feel like batman.
Oh for those who want to know the title of the third film. It will most likely be, The Dark Knight Returns.
Mark my words (AGAIN), this movie has nothing but hype. Hype doesn't make the movie.
First Trailer For HORTON HEARS A WHO - Dec 14, 2007 - 05:00pm
What is with the Beetlejuice music? How on earth is that associated with Horton Hears a Who?
Other than that. It looks SWEET!
AT WORLD'S END Plunders DVD Competition - Dec 13, 2007 - 01:06pm
I am SHOCKED.
People wanted Pirates 3 more than Spidey 3 and Shrek the 3rd? Is that why it made more money at the theaters too?
SHOCKED.

I wish they showed BOTH Scully and Mulder....but peet is good.....MMmmmmmm Peeeeeeeeet.

THANK YOU! I agree with you a hundred percent.
Out of the blue this guy is copying most of US and he gets to have it as a main article.
I smell Plagiarism!
Again, Thank you Merin for shedding light on a very sneaky move made by Mania.

scoundrel is correct. I am not sure how Event Horizon and Episode III were added tot he list.
Doom? Yes....horrible movie.
The one that gets me is Blade Runner. Seriously? Blade Runner. Wow. How did you get approval to post this list?
Oh wait, the proof is in the responses you are getting. Gotta generate hits.

Jarrod,
I love how they change a name and it is different. Are they learning from Microsoft? LOL.
Anywho, this movie looks good and has potential. Also, I am a fan of SLJ, so that makes it even more sweeter.
New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 10:31pm
LOTRSUXS,
"You have bad taste in movies, tv shows, posters and, well, pretty much everything in general?"
Is that a question? Shouldn't you be making a statement? You know my taste in the genre how? LMHAO!!!
This coming from someone who has the screen name LOTRSUXS....LOL. Your name, LOTRSUXS, doesn't need the S....you know that right? SUX is Sucks....WOW. That is like ATM Machine or PIN number. LOL!!!
Keep it up. You are getting there. Oh....and do not forget the EDIT button.
Oh and Batman Begins Sucked. Almost an Hour until we see Batman....should have been called Bruce Wayne in Training.
New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 09:54pm
LOTRSUXS,
You are doing good. Do not stop. Try even SMALLER words. Work past your lackadaisical urges. KEEP IT UP.
New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 09:35pm
LOTRSUXS,
Whew, for a second there I didn't think you were gonna keep it up. I am happy you took my advice and started using smaller words. Does the name-calling make you feel like a big boy?
Oh and another thing, there is a button called EDIT under your posts. You can click that and fix your mistakes. That way, you do not have to post a correction.
As for the movie. Yeah, I can speak my mind, that is the point. No, I do not think Ledger is gonna be "BATASS" as the Joker and the poster sucks. I think the batsuit looks good. If it were me, I would just go traditional. And for those who state that naysayers want original stuff, but then bitch about them changing batman. BATMAN is already done. IT IS NOT ORIGINAL. Yeah, when you change something people already love and know....it can be frustrating. Batman is not ORIGINAL when the SIXTH movie is coming out. Changing the character and the logos doesn't make it ORIGINAL. Oh....I am gonn ahave so much fun when you guys pull a spidey 3 or Superman Returns....I can read it now...."TDK was AWESOME"....after the hype fades, "actually, now that I think about it....the movie lacks".....bla bla bla.
Anywho....one more time. I think the BATSUIT LOOKS GOOD. THE LOGO COULD BE BIGGER OR MORE PROMINENT. TAKE DOWNT HE HORRIBLE TEASER POSTER!!! OR give us a damn Scooby SNACK!
New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 06:32pm
bmfstunner,
Where on earth did you get the idea you had to convince me about the suit? Do you read?
The teaser poster is just the opposite. It is not teasing and it is not enthralling. A kid could write it. LOL....now all of you are going to say that the joker is like a kid. WRONG. I wish you people would read the damn comics. Then at least you would have knowledge.
Wait until the trailer. Then all of you will soon be realizing that maybe, just maybe, this movie will not live up to its hype. ESPECIALLY if they show SEVEN minutes of the Joker. Then the newness of the character will be lost.
New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 05:04pm
Jarrod,
you are a kind soul, correct? You would never punish or want to see another human being suffer?
PLEASE!!! FOR THE LOVE OF THE COSMOS, PLEASE take that pic of the poster down!! It reminds me of the old Scooby Doo cartoons.....(shudder)
Sorry....I just hate it soooo very much....more than Superman Returns....that is saying a lot!
New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 01:29pm
LOTRSUXS,
You could throw in a few more put downs. The put downs you used were ok, but not well thought through. Don't think too much when trying to use big words. Either way, I am glad you do what I say. Keep it up.
First JUMPER Trailer Online - Dec 09, 2007 - 12:10pm
Jarrod,
Is the trailer different from the one Yahoo had up a month ago? It does not look different to me.
One thing though. This movie looks good and has potential....but we all know how deceiving trailer can be.
New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 12:09pm
First off, I HATED Batman Begins with a passion, yet I like the suit. Weird. It is not the best suit, and yes the original design would be a little better. I like the look of the batsuit but the logo could be more prominent.
20105,
You know what? I like what you said. Batman is a deadly Ninja in a sense. What you stated is perfect. That suit makes it look more robocop than stealth. I still like the suit, wish they would use the original batman suit and use the same principles....but what you said is logical and on the money. Oh and yes, his fins do shoot. Which I find it retarded and supports your AcroBATics theory.
LOTRSUX,
Your names says it all. I HATE the LOTR Trilogy, but not to go as far as putting that as my name.
So now people who do not like BB are Gay? Great logic. Keep it up.
New BATSUIT Photo Appears on CineLive - Dec 09, 2007 - 07:24am
To be honest, I love everything about the batsuit except the bat logo. It is small and indented......seems off to me. The utility Belt looks good as well.
AS for the Movie? The Trailer will confirm my hatred for the franchise.
One more thing. That poster is ridiculous!! First, we know the Joker in this Vision will not be a silly goofy homicidal maniac like the comics. Yeah, he is the "Joker", but Nolan is taking a realistic and sane approach to the joker. Why so serious? I hate that. Also, the poster just looks goofy. The black eyes, the "batsmile"? Bleh....that poster really irritates me. It reminds me of the Batman and Robin signal in Batman and Robin. It would be a little more effective if the bat sign was superimposed on the Jokers face.
Anywho, I think showing 7 minutes of the Joker before I am Legend will do damage to the Dark Knight.
First PUNISHER:WAR ZONE Pic - Dec 07, 2007 - 10:39am
LOL......you can see the shells flying from the gun. He is shooting, not changing the clip.
I wish they would get a good director and bring back Thomas Jane. Shoot, Jane could have directed it and we would at least get a good pic.
LOL......segal......we will here that for weeks now.
Gerard Butler & Natalie Portman in WOLVERINE? - Dec 07, 2007 - 10:32am
Yes, 300 is not a good movie and is HIGHLY overrated.
Yet, as much as I like Tyler Mane, I think Butler is a better choice. And yes, since Sabretooth and Wolverine are RELATED, it is logical if they look alike (even though I do not see ANY resemblance.)
I am actually excited about this movie. I know many here "hated" X3, but I loved it and I wish they would make a 4th one. Wolverine will have to do. I have no desire for Magneto, though. YAWN.
First PUNISHER:WAR ZONE Pic - Dec 06, 2007 - 08:39pm
First thing I thought was Steven Segal when I first came to the site. Bad pic.
The thing that bugs me the most....or things. Is one you do not hold the Clip when firing a semi, and two, the skull is barely visible.
Doesn't surprise me. I am not interested in this movie in the slightest.......sigh.......hollywood is gonna crumble.
First Six Minutes of DARK KNIGHT Revealed - Dec 04, 2007 - 08:36pm
LOL!!!! Ledger's joker will be "THE ONE"?
Oh my.....that brought on a laugh!
Suuuuuuure......And Chris O'Donnell's Robin is the Definitive Robin!
Three More Join KNIGHT RIDER - Nov 29, 2007 - 08:36pm
Honestly, I am excited for this show. Yeah, yeah...I complain about shows and movies be rehashed....BUT....I love Knight Rider, and I want to see the "second generation" KITT. This sounds fun. I wonder if they will get William Daniels to voice the old KITT?
Seriously....this show was prematurely cut of after four seasons. Lets get 2-3 tops of another version.
New Look at Ledger's JOKER - Nov 27, 2007 - 09:28pm
Guess I will be the first to point out the obvious.
It is a picture. In no way does this look like Joker or gives us an idea of what the performance is gonna be. A humanized Batman? LOL! Wow, we what a down to earth Gritty Batman, put nipples on the suit and people have a frickin porcupine.
I stand by what I say. This movie does nothing to spark my interest in the slightest. Heath Ledger as Joker? Nope, do not buy nor do I think he will succeed. The pic looks more cartoonish if anything, how is that "real". He looks more like Chucky than Joker.
YAWN.
Kirk's Father & Nero's General Cast in TREK - Nov 14, 2007 - 08:57am
First off, good trailers do not make good trailer. This is known.
Also, there are naysayers, and I am one of them. In no way is looking ot be good. Lost? LOST??? LOL!!!! That is a hilarious comparison. Lost is not the show it could have been.
Start Trek: The Clone, will not be the movie it should be.

Nispel Remaking FRIDAY THE 13TH - Nov 14, 2007 - 07:05am
Really? This has to be done?
Friday the 13th re-imagining? Wow. So basically they are going to do this to every horror movie from the 80's.
What is the point of this?
First Images of Quinto's SPOCK Online - Nov 13, 2007 - 10:10pm
One thing I can do, is state if I am going to like something or not. Regardless if the movie is out yet or not. All hollywood can do now is take the past and re-image it. Just do something original or build upon.
Everyone has their opinion. The fact remains, I think this movie will bomb. No one wants to see this movie other than individuals who are easily entertained. People who can sit down and watch gigli 24/hrs a day.
Sadly, this guy does not have Spocks mannerisms or facial expressions, he looks to much like the villain from Heroes and nothing more. In fact, where in anything this actor has been in gives a hint he could be a Vulcan? A homicidal maniac, yes. A emotionless Vulcan? No, he cannot convey that.
Why are so many people easily pleased? Easily entertained? That is frustrating to me. Hollywood keeps pumping out crap because people say OH AWESOME!!! Then, after that crappy movie has settled they all get on the band wagon and state how much they hated the movie. Their true colors and feelings come out. That is irritating.
As for me, they are more than movies ot me when it involves my past. The fact remains though, they are just movies. It will not be an issue a hundred years from now. That does not stop me from stating my opinions. I will not conform to hollywood and be happy that half-assed rehashes are being produced. Will I see this movie? NO, I will not. Why? Because it is a waste of my time. When the movie first comes out, people will praise it. Then, let it settle, and people will realize it is a dud.
One more thing, why can't I say it will fail and that it will not be a good movie, and yet others can state it will be fantastic? Take your own advice. Wait until the movie comes out before you say how awesome this is gonna be.

First Images of Quinto's SPOCK Online - Nov 13, 2007 - 09:24am
What is with the fanboy comments? People are allowed to like and dislike what they want.
The reason I am not interested in this movie is due to the fact it is a not a tribute, it is a slap in the face. Star Trek is not a prequel vehicle. Star Trek needs to move forward. ST ENT showed that no one wants a re-image of a franchise that is solidified. Now, they are taking famous characters and recasting them and trying to reboot the franchise. This makes no sense. It is not James bonds or Superman or batman. It is Star Trek, it needs to be built upon, not re hatched.
Do I like the pic? Hoenstly, no. I do not see spock. I see a vulcan that looks more like the guy from voyager (not tuvok).
It annoys me that people think things need to be re hatched. Star Trek has been created. Now build on it, do not try to make the original different.
Jet Li Wraps Up in MUMMY 3 - Nov 11, 2007 - 10:21am
I agree, this movie sounds fun. I enjoyed the other two and this seems on track to be just as good or better than the first movie.
Tommy Lee Jones Talks New TWO FACE - Nov 10, 2007 - 11:01am
TLJ's Two-Face is not a popular character in the Batman Franchise. Jack's Joker is the character everyone is going to compare Heath Ledgers crappy joker too.
TLJ's Two-Face is not going to be compared. That is a fact. Such a weird interview. Like his take on Two-Face was iconic? LOL. Right.
X-FILES 2 Begins Production Dec 10. - Oct 29, 2007 - 08:25pm
I am such a HUGE X-files fan! This make me want to scream like a girl and prance around....but I will wait until Halloween to do that.
This is one movie I have high hopes for and cannot wait to see.

Mark Millar to Pitch SUPERMAN Sequel - Oct 23, 2007 - 01:05am
drvertigo, I sure hope it is being treated that way.
I am glad he is interested in writing this movie. As I stated before, Bryan Singer will not direct the sequel (if it can be called that). New Writers and then, a new director. WB has heard the fans and they seem to be listening.
TRANSFORMERS Sparks Records in DVD - Oct 23, 2007 - 01:01am
What is it with Blu-Ray lovers? HD-DVD holds less Storage. Big whoop! Like We really need the extra 10-15 Gigs? Seriously, when shows start coming out on the High Def Disks, do you think they are gonna put all the episodes on one disk and then put the extra on another? no, they are going to have as many disks as possible.
The Quality is the SAME! Frankly, I like HD-DVD. I am sick of Sony and their dumb ideas (PS3 comes to mind) Blu-Ray is being forced on us. At Least HD-DVD is not making us buy it with their most popular console. I am sorry, but HD-DVD player costs 200 at Wal-freaking-mart, and even less on ebay. Blu-Ray Players cost 400+ bucks! That is DOUBLE the damn price. I will be investing in a player that plays both as I am sick of the damn disk wars. I hope Sony goes down as they do not deserve to when this war.
As much as I hate transformers, I am glad they are getting people to buy the HD-DVD. Remember, the cheapest player will when this war. Look at the Wii.

Chris Pine is Kirk in STAR TREK - Oct 17, 2007 - 11:06am
It is simple. This movie will Bomb.
http://uk.imdb.com/poll/results/2007-10-13
That link says it all. Star Trek will be buried next year and then we will have lost a really good franchise. Why do these people not learn from Star Trek Enterprise? no one wants their mythology messed with. And Leonard Nimoy taking this and Shatner not is very disturbing. Again, it is Romulans and it is about EARTH mythology. Seriously, get a better story, give us a WAR. The Dominion, the Cardassians, The Borg, and the Federation give us an all out WAR! Why is that hard?
A prequel is going to be useless. Paramount and JJ Abrams are going to ruin this great franchise. Mark my words, this movie will bomb and it will be a laughing stock.
Well, to be honest I a a very hard critic when it comes to movies. Yet, I know how to suspend belief, how else could I enjoy FF and Hellboy? Seriously though, when directors and FANS say they want realism in movies and want to make it as real as possible, then do so. Do not make the movie half-assed because you know it can gain hype. For instance: If NEWS crews are filming the monster attacking the city, why would they want to watch footage that is barely comprehensible and rarely shows the monster? You have news crews that are looking DIRECTLY at monster? Stuff like that just irritates me. The Government will not watch 30 minutes of a party and then watch 5 mins of monster from amateur footage. Yeah, right. Another example is Batman Begins. People love this movie because it is "real" Even Nolan states that he can only do a batman movie if it is done with realism. Not gimmicks. Weird, since when is driving a TANK on a roof REAL? Not Gimmicking at all. Yet, fans eat up the hype and always will. So Hollywood is doing something right. This is why we have people who know nothing of story and real element making movies. And we will continue to get garbage. I mean we are getting a remake of Freddy, Jason (already did Michael...with the horrid Halloween remake), Critters, The Thing and now Child's Play! Come on! USE THE BRAIN PEOPLE! If you want it real, make it real, you want it original, then do so.
