If Mendes returns then that's fine by me since i loved Skyfall. From the other names considered i find some of them rather interesting. Unfortunately the two British ones (Hooper, Yates) don't sound very promising. But Lee is a perfect choice and Black would give a pretty different and interesting take on Bond. Refn on the other hand is love him or hate him type of filmamker. I'd love to see a Refn Bond but i fail to see how this can be worked out to fit his sensibilities.

Actually it managed to be worse than the first one as far as movie making goes. And i consider the first film one of the worst comic book adaptations ever. But at the same time this sequel is so bad on every single level that it gets really funny after a while. I mean Ghost Rider stares some bad guy to death! That was hilarious. And there is a scene where Cage is in a club or something and interrogates another bad guy and he overracts and screams and yells and cries and... sings so furiously and over the top that i'm pretty sure it was intentional. That was comedy gold right there.

I disagree. It's doing worse than i expected for example and i expected about 250m. Nothing extraordinary. And i'm sure when a studio makes a 190m budget blockbuster they expect something more than 200m or so from the expanded overseas markets.

That was a great weekend. Furious 6 is doing great. It didn't reach some crazy numbers tossed around but it increased over the last one and it will increase its total also. Since i think it has a standard audience that won't expand like crazy i see it reaching 240m or so. A truly great number. The third Hangover is the big loser of the weekend. I think reviews hurt it along with the competition. It will make a profit but it's a big disappointment no way around it. Star Trek rebounded. It will get to 220m or so. Solid but i still consider it a disappointment. No one thought it will gross less than the first and the OS are not that good considering the big marketing push, the expanded markets and the 3d. Epic did some solid numbers. It has some time until Monsters University arrives. Iron Man 3 had a great hold and keeps having an awesome run. Obviously the GA likes the film. I see it reaching 410m. And The Great Gatsby is doing much better than i thought. A nice surprise and another reason to consider Di Caprio one of the biggest stars worldwide.

I think it will hit 800m even with some steep drops.

500m

I'm glad the Coens are having another great film. It's not really surprising though. The Past is getting solid reviews also but it seems it's not in the same level as A Seperation. But not many movies are anyway.

Never thought that Iron Man 3 would get to 800m OS. Avengers effect or not it doesn't matter. This is an incredible performance.

I have high hopes for this. Sounds really interesting.

It made something like 217m WW. More than 3 times its budget. And back in 2004 i think those were some really good numbers for such a film. I don't think that Collateral was an easy sell. It was a griity and atmoshperic film and probably the first time that Cruise played a bad guy. Jamie Foxx wasn't as big as he is now either. I think that it was and still is considered a solid hit.

Martin and Caine are brilliant in it. A really funny and smart comedy.

One of Coen's finest films. And that says a lot. Haunting, brilliant and incredibly rewatchable.

Surprisingly fun and entertaining. Much better than the original.

A masterpiece. Wim Wendrers' best film imo. The library scene is one of the most stunning scenes i' ve ever seen.

It's a Shane Black film from start to finish. That means a lot of twists, some pretty inventive action scenes, lots and lots of funny one-liners and a bit of 80's action nostalgia. It also has some pretty bold plot twists for the superhero genre. The villain twist (which i found great) and the fact that it should be called Tony Stark and not Iron Man might turn some people off. I'm not one of them. This time it's more personal for Tony Stark and the film digs a bit deeper in his personality. He shows him vulnerable, full of panic attacks. But it never gets too heavy or melodramatic. It never forgets the lighter nature of the franchise and it really is very, very funny. As a comedy is a solid A actually. It was entertaining all the way and it never dragged. There were some pretty cool and well made action scenes like the attack in Stark's mansion and the fight wearing half the suit. Plus it has a couple of things to say about what separates man from the suit, about what you really see and what you think you see. RDJ is brilliant here. He's always great as Stark but this is his best interprentation of the role. And Kingsley is hilarious. There are some negative things like the really busy but only half exciting action finale. The weak reason that Pearce wanted RDJ for and the fact that the villain wasn't really memorable. Long story short, I consider it the best Iron Man film to date. Not as good as The Avengers but still the second best Marvel movie.

Jaw dropping opening for Iron Man. Now he is obviously part of the A-list comic book characters worldwide. I still remember the skepticism about the character and Robert Downey Jr back in 2008. Times change so fast.

A very underrated black comedy. It feels like a thriller at times and it's pretty suspenseful. One of Scorsese's hidden gems.

A masterpiece. Pixar's best and that says something.

The best movie ever made. Nothing more to say. Personal opinion obviously.

So many great ones. Annie Hall Manhattan Match Point Hannah and her Sisters The Purple Rose of Cairo Deconstructing Harry

By far the worst Die Hard film. It was just a bad ugly dumb picture. And i don't mean that because it was called Die Hard. As a DH film it was an embarrassement. But even as an ordinary action film it was awful. There isn't much to say that it isn't already covered. I 'll just say that the writer and the director of this film have never seen a Die Hard film in their lives and they are clueless of what makes a decent action film. John Moore probably saw the Bourne series a bit too much but of course he didn't get it. He didn't understand that there was a reason those movies were shot the way they were. He didn't understand the context of those films and he doesn't have the talent to do something similar. Of course he had a braindead script to work with and his leading star being incredibly sleepy and bored. I honestly thought that Bruce would fall asleep right before the first car chase. A car chase that it was so badly shot and edited that i didn't know where McLane was. I didn't know which vehicle he was driving and i wasn't sure if he was chasing someone or he was being chased. Thankfully it only took half the chase to really figure it out. It was a bit more than figuring out the twist. But i honestly have years to see a worst cinematography for a big budget Hollywood film. It felt as if we were watching a bootleg version of the film. As if they shot a sceen projecting the film. A huge disappointment.
