fred13 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well, I gotta say, I'm a huge movie buff, and some films that are set to be released later this year have really got me hyped up. Here's a list of movies I'm seeing for sure: Balls of Fury Death Sentence 3:10 To Yuma Shoot 'em Up Eastern Promises Into the Wild Grace Is Gone Michael Clayton Sleuth American Gangster Fred Claus And what is quite possibly the best of them all: No Country for Old Men There's a ton more I want to see. A few of these movies I'll see before their release date. I'm going to the Toronto International Film Festival for my first time and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm seeing Michael Clayton and Sleuth there for sure and possible a few others. Anyone else as big a movie geek as me? Post the movies you want to see. NOTE: Links take you to the film's IMDB page.

kgbaseball Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I look forward to seeing American Gangster and Shoot Em Up. Clive's in that one, so it's gotta be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the BMW Short Films with Clive Owen? They're all on youtube. pretty neat stuff. Also, Children of Men is definitely in the Top Five movies of 2006.

BigRog Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Fred Clause looks good as does balls of fury when i went to see superbad for the first time i didnt see the first 5-10 minuts of the movie. the second time i saw the whole things. i saw the preview for the new Resident Evil coming out and that looks totally bad *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 why is it that people love boring movies that are like 2-hrs and its drama? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am not a huge horror fan, but I had the opportunity to see an Rob Zonbie's "Halloween" remake. ...What a mess! Although, I like how he tries to lay the groundwork for why Michael Myers is the way he is, it is all far to cliche. Myers, as an adult, doesn't even show up until about 50-60 minutes into the movie. I was very disappointed. I enjoyed Corpses, and Devil's Rejects for what they were, but I would suggest avoiding Halloween at all costs. As for the fall movies, 3:10 To Yuma looks amazing, as does American Gangster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgbaseball Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 fred, it's because they require thinking, something Geolink clearly prefers not to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 he prolly means "why do people love drama movies that are boring and last 2 hrs even after rephrasing it i still dont know what the **** he is talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 LOL. The reason people love a good drama is becuase it has a larger impact on the audience than any other genre. An effective drama can impart a cathartic effect like no other genre of film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm most looking forward to the following: No Country For Old Men (Love McCarthy. Love the Coens.) The Darjeeling Limited (Sad about Owen though.) 3:10 to Yuma (I hope it brings back the western as a viable film genre.) Walk Hard (Can't explain this one. I just wanna see it.) Be Kind, Please Rewind (This movie looks like a work of genius.) --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be Kind, Please Rewind (This movie looks like a work of genius.) --Eric Coens are two of the greatest people in Hollywood. Everything I've seen by them I've loved, except for Lady Killers Millers Crossing and Raising Arizona are two of my favourite movies. Darjeeling looks like it'll be good (and funny) but it also looked like they're trying to garner the same attention Little Miss Sunshine got. Be Kind, Please Rewind was a short film made 10 years ago. I think you mean Be Kind Rewind :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Indeed. Thanks for the correction! Ladykillers was really lame. I don't know why they bothered making it, having had no hand in the writing process from what I remember. And I've been a fan of Wes Anderson since 1999, so I think it's sort of the opposite -- Little Miss Sunshine was trying to garner the same attention that Rushmore (and Tenenbaums) got. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Call, I missed that, I loved Tenenbaums. I did however hate A Life Aquatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plunger021 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I'm also looking forward to American Gangster and 3:10 to Yuma. But another one that looks kind of cool (reminds me of a big fish type movie) is Across The Universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
