  1. haha wasn't trying to compare him to Brad Pitt or anythingOnly point was that most of the advertising played the point that Radcliffe was the star, and if it opens to 20+ I could see him given a chance to open more filmsHe was EVERYWHERE for this film! (the snl/lana del Ray publicity couldn't have hurt either) So good for them for having a successful film! Shouldn't be contested for the horror genre for a little while either!
  2. Wow, is Radcliffe a bonified box office star now? Call me impressed, he hit the publicity circuit hard, good for them!
  3. yeah lesser known ones would be more ideal! I'm excited, let's start thinking of movies now! We'll launch on friday?
  4. Yeah definitely home viewing films! (Except for maybe special things like TDKR!)
  5. Wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a film club on here?We could post a new movie on here every week, and it would give us a chance to all watch within the week and perhaps have "Guest Members" post their picks for movies that others need to seeJust a chance for some of us to share the movies we're most passionate about and have discussion with others about itThoughts?
  6. I can't understand why would Sony not capitalize on Beckinsale returning? To me they could have marketed it like Vin Diesel returning to F&F
  7. look up on twitter and see the amount of sell outs for Red Tails, it can happen and I think Nikki's numbers are low
  8. Word of mouth on Red tails seems incredibly high, I would actually expect it do be higher than it itNikki's numbers don't seem on either, The weekend totals for Red Tails don't seem on
  9. The Artist - Curing Insomniacs since 2011 (and Best Picture? Yikes)
  10. I think it depends on how you want to feel when you get out of the movie - If you want to feel synthetically inspirational - Go See Red TailsIf you want to feel like you wanna kick some ass (yet feel like you've seen this movie before) - Go see Contraband
  11. I have to agree with the negatives on Haywire, the biggest draw in their advertisements has been trying to sell it as a Soderbergh film (which sadly doesn't mean too much to too many)You'd think with stars like Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender or even Channing Tatum, they would have featured heavily in the marketing, but most of the marketing have shown Gina Carano running around "in a Soderbergh film"I hate to say it, but I'm actually thinking the film will do a sub 10 million opening and end up around 7-8 mil for the weekendThe Grey intrigues me though, I see it as being the biggest test for how well Neeson can open a movie, everyone was shocked by how well Taken did, and it seems that Neeson bought himself a "January Staple" with that movie, yet Unknown was terrible and definitely underperformedSo I do know that "Taken 2" is coming out next year, but I see "The Grey" as Neeson's "Castaway"I remember hearing critics talk about how Castaway was the biggest testament to Tom Hanks' ability to sell a movie on his own, it was the same thing with Will Smith and "I Am legend", it should make for some interesting numbers
  12. Hey guys, I was wanting to try posting my films from my backpacking trip but it turns out that internet is way too damn expensive (the rent is too damn high?) here so I read that you'll be starting year two at Christmas and that's when I'll be home. Hope that's ok?In the middle of writing now, most films have been written on Trains in Europe, europe's also given me plenty of things to want to write. I'm especially proud of my stoner zombie sex comedy. It's about two stoners who set out across a zombie infected America because they worry it's the last chance they'll ever have to get laid. But as for now, all my films will be held off until next year. Hope that's ok! I'm looking forward to getting going!!!
