Wow, is Radcliffe a bonified box office star now? Call me impressed, he hit the publicity circuit hard, good for them!
-
yeah lesser known ones would be more ideal! I'm excited, let's start thinking of movies now! We'll launch on friday?
-
Yeah definitely home viewing films! (Except for maybe special things like TDKR!)
-
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?

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

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
-
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

The Artist - Curing Insomniacs since 2011 (and Best Picture? Yikes)
-
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

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

You might be thinking of Tim TebowMark is very religious and prays five times a day.

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!!!

Top 10 Films:
1) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Was there another movie that stuck with anyone as much as this one? It might be polarizing with the love/hate factor, but to people who loved this movie it was one of the best ever made
2) Shaun of the Dead
Simon Pegg's Breakout, One of the BEST Horror-Com's ever
3) Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy
Absolutely Hilarious, the best Will Ferrell film; I dare you to watch the flute scene or the news anchor battle and NOT laugh
4) Ray
Jamie Foxx's best film, AMAZING performance
5) Shrek 2
This broke records and was the height of the Shrek franchise
6) Mean Girls
The teen movie of the year, one of the best since John Hughes, Also broke Tina Fey out
7) The Notebook
Again many people dislike this film, but is now a chick-flick classic
8) Garden State
Do we even remember how cool we all thought Zach Braff was?
9) The Bourne Supremacy
Showed that the Bourne series could go to sequels, AWESOME movie
10) Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
Was not expecting it to be so funny, re-launched career of NPH
Honorable Mentions:
Hellboy (Enjoyable, Ron Perlman was Great)
Open Water (Indie Horror at it's best)
I Heart Huckabees (The Scene with Mark Wahlberg at the Religious Family's table is AMAZING)
Secret Window (Great Johnny Depp Thriller)
Finding Neverland (Can we all just admit we cried a bit?)
Closer (HAUNTING drama movie)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (For Obvious Reasons, near top 10 worthy)
Guilty Pleasures:
The Perfect Score (We all quoted this movie in high school, leonardo Nam was Gold)
Miracle (let's all recite the Kurt Russell speech now)
The Prince and Me (Julia Stiles was the Smart-Girl crush)
The Day After Tomorrow (I enjoy Emmerich destroying stuff)

haha if he wants to use original cast, maybe he can, it just wouldn't turn out very well? Those trekkies are very hard to please!
-
As bad as people say it isThe CGI was terrible, but they couldn't decide if they wanted CGI'd or Makeup'd characters, which led to a very weird mixThe storyline wasn't easy to digest either, WAY too much Sci-Fi and not enough plot, it was like the script revolved around introducing characters and not the story, very little back story, and the most interesting part was the relationship between Reynold and livelyDidn't like it, a shame, because I really liked the comics
-
I wouldn't call it comedy gold, but it actually made me laughI think this is the problem with all those Happy Madison guys, they have the maturity level of an 8 year old, but they are genuinely funny people, and even in their worst movies, they still make people laughSandler's Monkey was pretty good

Alright, I'm claiming Assassin's Creed then
I'd also like to do the "Wicked" Series (yes, the musical), if I can claim that as well -
how does one obtain it?

I'd like to introduce both my studio and my intention for my studio in my first post in hereMy Studio will be called: Foundation StudiosMy Aim for this studio will be to focus on more of the mid-range to smaller films (with occasional Blockbusters) I'd love to be known as the quirkier, smaller, based-on-novel type studios (Although I would love if they broke out every now and then
)I'm gone for the next 5 weeks (Backpacking trip through Europe) but I'd like to set some things in motion until I get back and be happily involved after thatThis sounds fun, thanks so much for including a newb like me!
