paleo 63 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Im quite anxious to see the movie Knowing. since its a Nick Cage movie, most of us are Knowing there is a good chance it won't be the best movie.But I do love the premise.I hope it's not as disappointing as "Next". I still regret the loss of my ticket money (and poor Julianne Moore ;-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Here's the teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's WWII epic Inglorious Basterds.Looks promising, even though it's presented as a kind of mainstream Hollywood film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Why does a movie like that need to be made?Because Tarantino has a gigantic ego.He's a genius. All he does is steal, I mean be inspired, from the movies he loves. I wouldn't call that ego. Inglourious Basterds is what he described as a Spaghetti western in Nazi occupied France. Too bad Morricone can't compose because of the damn Weinstein's. Nonetheless it'll be filled with his music.I was disappointed by the trailer. I was expecting something a little more serious, but it looks like a gore-fest exploitation film. We already have a director that can bring violence and humor together, and his name is Robert Rodriguez. I hope Tarantino returns to his usual style.

He clearly thinks he's a genius, but he's really a good filmmaker who can sometimes write good dialogue and occasionally picks decent music, when he's not operating under his ego (see next sentence). I mention his ego, because he seems to think we all are dying to watch the movies he makes, and seems determined for us all to love grindhouse movies as much as he does when frankly most of them are terrible and usually worth watching only for the music and ironic value (see JAWS 3). I can't watch one of his movies without imagining him at the side going 'I used a Charlie Feathers song, look how hip I am!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 please QT is not a genius, he's often a freaking idiot.He's no genius and if anything he's severely overrated, BUT Pulp Fiction is not only a masterpiece of contemporary cinema; it also the most revolutionary film of the 90s. The screenplay alone IS a stroke of sheer genius.Pulp Fiction is as rewatchable as Jaws and I don't say that lightly, as if I had to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 it also the most revolutionary film of the 90s.I think TOY STORY would have something to say about that.I haven't seen the film in a long time, and I don't really have a desire to. I'll admit it's well written, but it personifies the 'I'm hip!' thematics of his work. I think his best film is one he didn't direct, TRUE ROMANCE.

On its own, I don't think it supports the statement, because there were a few revolutionary movies in that decade.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I've got mixed feelings about this one, The Battle for Terra:http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2148336409/Visually, it looks like they turned the Homeworld series of video games into a movie. I'm not impressed with the voice acting, the characters all sound too tired or disinterested. The name "Terra" is usually reserved for this planet in science fiction, so I'm curious what's up with that. But the storyline, who they've cast as the antagonizers of the movie? Ugh.
