Vanilla Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Well during that trailer I was busy making a status about the ordeal I had at the ticket counter. I didn't see Tom Cruise.On your cell phone during the movie? tisk, tisk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 When I saw 2012 there was this annoying girl who was about 14 in front of me who had her cell phone during about half the film. (She was sitting right in front of me. Go figure-its either that or the big 10 foot man in front of you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actors were terrible. The GCI is good until the moment you see the aliens. After that there is no turning back. I see better GCI in DTV movies or Tv Shows. The story is also very mediocre. It is understandable why this is tanking. Not even teens are seeing this mess. 4.5/10 Edited January 15, 2012 by CJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Lots of movies that are released straight to DVD in America like Trespass or The Double are released in Portugal with some good marketing and they usually turn out to be solid hits to our distributor.

MovieGuyKyle16 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 about to go see Red Tails (I really dont want to see it but I got outvoted I much rather see Haywire) my expectations are very low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 So should I go see Red Tails or Contraband on Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekVl Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travod Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Haywire 9:30 PM - 75 people Trailers 21 Jump Street Some movie about war that apparently has real life soldiers playing the characters. The trailer has a great song playing in it. A movie about an Edgar Allan Poe themed killer. Project X? A movie about a giant party. Movie: So honestly I just wanted to go to the movies to ask for a movie poster that they didn't have. Haywire had Fassbender and action and good reviews so I chose to see that. HOLY GOD THE FIGHT SCENES (of which there are maybe 10 that each last 5 minutes at least) ARE AMAZING. The choreography is perfect and it's really flashy yet still "real" with guns rarely being used. The girl is apparently some martial arts person in real life so I guess she already knew some of her character's (Mallory) awesome moves. Michael Fassbender is only in it for maybe 20 min but he's great, Michael Douglas is good but in it even less, Ewan McGregor (sp?) is pretty awesome, and the rest of the cast is too long to list. Just woa. I would see this again to watch the bedroom fight scene. And the one on the beach. And in the diner. And the one in Barcelona. And all the others. AND THE LAST LINE! It's hilarious! One thing I noticed was that the font used to name the cities the characters go to is like the same font they used in Contagion. Same director, who knew. Great cinematography. AND THE SCORE. AMAZING MUSIC. When each fight scene reached the climax the audience I was watching with all laughed at how friggin' amazing Mallory is and how she just owned that particular opponent. Hard.

rockNrollaDIM Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think I'm gonna have to see Haywire. I've been ragging on it a little bit but I keep hearing really good things about it, and it sounds like my type of film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariadne Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, SpyEvent Cinemas Westgate, AucklandFri 5.40pm 20 Jan150 seats - a third full - mainly older peopleTrailers:GWTDTSafe HouseAnother I can't remember. No reaction to any of them.I went to see this with my Dad, who is the pickiest movie-goer ever, and suprisingly - he really liked it! I thought it was great - both my Dad and I were easily able to follow what was happening. I'm not saying those who find the movie confusing are dumb, but...Gary Oldman was just brilliant - he should get an Oscar nom in my opinion - it's scandalous that he's been snubbed so far by the American awards. The rest of the cast was also great - especially Mark Strong. This movie is very cerebral and slowly-paced, deliberately so, the atmosphere and cinematography are very true to the time - London in the 70s was a dull, grey, depressing place. My Dad lived there at the time - he said that was just like the London he remembered.I thought the end was brilliant, I definitely want to see this again when it comes out on DVD.A- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) The MuppetsFri 8:15pm35 people (less than 1/3 - horrible for an opening weekend)the trailers were all for children's films which was stupid since no one in the audience was under 25 and most 40+ I guess :lol:The film: AWell maybe I'm just being nostalgic here - the muppets being after all part of my childhood (me and my sister were very proud of our Muppet pyjamas and even performed sketches at home) - but my girl who has never been much into them also liked the film. There was so much enthusiasm on the screen that it would be actually hard to dislike it.Box-office wise this will not do big numbers here although WOM should be exceptional - the audience was completely into it, laughing, clapping and even humming and singing along - but I was expecting more like a sell-out on opening weekend. Maybe weather conditions played a role (heavy snowfall here in Tyrol the last days) but if this doesn't have a significant increase next weekend I'd expect it in the range of Tintin in Germany+Austria (about 15mil).
