Bella Loves Jenna

I second this even though I have yet to see it. Bella is a brillant actor.

I don't really watch a lot of movies that I'd recommend to people. It doesn't appear that you realy like comedy movies either. BUt I'd say:

Not Another Teen Movie
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Scary Movie
Scary Movie 2
Eurotrip

That's about it that's already on DVD. Oh and Hitch.

Unleashed you are right about. Punisher you are not.

Despite its approach with practical effects and an old-fashioned style, Jonathan Hensleigh's movie is nothing more than a vacuous shoot-'em-up. It's the 1994 rather than the 2004 version of the Punisher. Replace Tom Jane with Tom Berenger or Michael Dudikoff, and it would've had the right amount of cheese to stay afloat.

Equilibrium hasn't been mentioned yet, aside from being buried in GK's list, but from casual moviewatchers, I wouldn't expect much. One of the last films to squeak out of 2002, this is what the producers of Batman Begins must have been watching when they allowed Christopher Nolan to cast Christian Bale. Combining a dystopian setting inspired by Fahernheit 451 and 1984 with a post-Matrix Hong Kong presentation, Writer/Director Kurt Wimmer fashions a sleek, stylish tale about a man who is just starting to discover his emotions and kills a lot of people in the process. The movie is more than the sum of its parts, succeeding despite a surprisingly low production budget ($20 million USD -- barely enough to make most studio driven romantic comedies, let alone futuristic action flicks) and a derivative screenplay through the conviction of the actors' performances, the Director's passion for his craft and material, and honest-to-goodness great filmmaking. This is 2002's best movie.

 

[Mike Shagohod]

I did mention Equilibrium in my post above actually. But it's always good to see another fan of the flick. As for THE PUNISHER, the Dolph Lundgren one was worlds better. It actually felt like a comic book come to life even if the movie was filmed in Australia and had budget problems. The Thomas Jane version was crap. Everyone slept walked through their roles and it didn't feel like a comic book movie w. action... it felt like a bad attempt to make an 80's or early 90's "Action Film" with a protagonist who just happened to be *The Punisher. + the shit he did was stupid. In the comics (that I read) and in the Dolph version, everyone believes Frank Castle is dead. In this one he let's his adversary as well as his former FBI friends know he's alive and well and sets off on a mission of vengeance, which makes no fucking sense. No element to surprise, and the cops/feds know who to look for. BAH!

Whatever you say it's still x10 better than xxx2 etc etc Okay it isn't quite a masterpiece but it's intelligent, riveting viewing imho

It's the 1994 rather than the 2004 version of the Punisher. Replace Tom Jane with Tom Berenger or Michael Dudikoff, and it would've had the right amount of cheese to stay afloat.

? WTHBBQ suppose you think it needs more hoff or mullet? Surprised you didn't mention Macguyver lol

#1> Ppl today complain about remakes (well those of us who know better, and in most cases we're right) but if 9 out of 10 liked the 2004 version of THE PUNISHER better than the Dolph one, it's because it's a contemporary film. No different than how there's nothing wrong with Logan's Run from the 70's but a remake is being made because most ppl under the age of 25 (unless they're open minded) won't be bothered to actually go outside the norm of the moment and hunt down films from the past. Thus the rationale is, if it's older than 5 no more than 10 years it probably sucks. Which is ridiculous. Hell most of the films I like were made before I was born, in some cases when my grandfather was barely out of highschool. The 2004 version is shit.

#2> Anyone who grew up watching "Action Films" in the 80's and early 90's (yes even Segal films before he got fat) knows that movie had no life in it. Ppl rag on Dolph but while he might not be A-list talent, his films always have pleanty of action and the plots are usually waaaay to controversial to be screened in a big screen cinema for the masses. Travolta didn't even try in that film. Nothing he did screamed "My Kid has been killed and I want revenge"... he basically was like: "I'm pissed, hey honey what should we do... oh yes, let's kill the entire Castle clan and call it a day." Jane was like the 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano rendition of the classic comic character. The only movie with sleep walk acting worse than this is Daredevil which for whatever reason has it's own "Cult" following.

Seriously I weep for the future.

His wife called the hit, he supposed to be a ruthless calm and collected immoral murdering crime lord I think he was alright.

He's the fucking punisher not some pussy bitch picard type, whatever...bleh btw Dare Devil Sucked more cocks that Jenna Jamieson what a shit movie fuckin stupid imo....

GK, I agree with you wholeheartedly on many points, particularly your one on Punisher being a retread of late 80's/early 90's action movies. More than likely this stems from writer/director Jonathan Hensleigh being in the movie industry for fifteen-plus years churning out action/adventure titles that I'll wager dollars to doughnuts were halfway watchable (with the exception of Armageddon, as Michael Bay never makes good movies) because he was not in charge of the final product. In 2004's Punisher, He makes the action film he's wanted to make since 1990. Too bad no one told him that movies have since then have gotten far less crappy. He thought plastering the Punisher trademark over it would fool people into thinking that any of this material was new or good. Looks like it's back to the drawing board.

The acting was decent: not balls-to-the-wall awful, but by no means high caliber. The performances suited the crap material perfectly, and with the exception of John Travolta and Thomas Jane (who has been in much better movies -- see sig), who seemed to be constantly one-upping each other in the grunting ham department, and did not detract from the knowledgeable viewer noticing the weak screenplay and elementary directing. Though, it didn't help.

I'm glad that nine out of ten some jerkoff's friends who watch only mainstream crap thought this film was good. If not for them, Fantastic Four probably would have tanked at the box office like it should have. "Riveting"? "Intelligent"? Only to those who've never known the true meaning.

Judging from the movies he and nine out of ten of his friends like, I don't think he'll mind.

SW ROJ-4lyfe man I don't know what your on about..... maybe retards think like that?

#1> Well personally I never cared for ROTJ, but even that film was better than the first two installments of the Prequels.

#2> Only retards think that movies older than 5 to 10 years are worth watching? Nope it's the way it is now. Today's youth (ppl under age 25) came up in a much more unforgiving and up-to-the-second sporadic way of living, thus they have no appreciation of older things and cannot seem to find the gems out there. Albeit some do, but en mass they don't. On one hand I'd say the youth coming up today are cool in my book because they're a generation who's moving more at my velocity in terms of "Throw Down & Get Down" for doing zany shit off the tops of their head, and voicing their opinions about everything... but on the other hand they suck because that's the only thing they know. Because they didn't get to evolve with video gaming with each epoch milestone, or see particular kinds of films, or study and appreciate history in all forms... they are not very well rounded at all. HOLLYWOOD depends on these ppl to basically see "Anything" put in front of them at least 3 times a piece, and cinemas will show one damn movie on 3 or 4 screens, leaving little chance for a really good film that's actually saying something as well as being entertaining, but that is Indie or Underground.

Thus the future is indeed a globally aware culture of contemporary timelines and overly glossed marketing. Hollywood sees this and knows for example that say something as cheeseball as "American Ninja" was to be remade even with the same budget, most under 25 will have never seen the original just because they are too busy buying whatever just hit on DVD that they saw 10 times at the cinema, and automatically will crown the remake better just because. This is what I'm referring to.

[EliteDoomMaster]

Well GK said a bunch of movies I would suggested, like Hard Boiled. But here are a few

Imports(Haven't been released here yet)
Natural City(Its like blade runner, enjoyable n' stuff.)
Undead
Ong-Bak

Imports that have been.
Ichi the Killer(Uncut one only)
Versus
Alive
SkyHigh(not the disney one...sword slashing dead people one)
The Princess Blade
The Returner
Deadly Outlaw Rekka
Infernal Affairs
Avalon
Rubber's Lover.


Other Films.
Videodrome
Zoolander(shhh! My friends and I love this movie.)
The Way of the Gun
Bubba Ho-Tep
Bad Taste

Anime
Blame!

Most of the movies are imports/asian etc, because I would gather you've seen a lot of whats available here. Blame! is a half hour long of oddness..I do believe reading the manga before it(which only has 2 of them out of 10 released here) would help somewhat. Anyways as for the rest, SkyHigh,Alive, and Versus are all made by Ryuhei Kitamura, who also directed the cutscenes in the Metal Gear Solid remake on the 'cube. The rest are just out there, Rubber's love only see if you want the bizarre, but the rest should entertain you. I don't know, I have a wide taste in movies.
