This might be my man crush on Brad Pitt talking, but I think Killing Them Softly will be absolutely amazing.

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

I think this movie looks pretty fucking awesome

Gangster Squad

I dont know why but I like better gangster movies about the 40s,that doesnt mean that I dont like others like American Gangster.
Too bad it got moved and it is going to be re edited for January 2013 which I dont like a lot :/

Can't wait for Killing Them Softly!

Just saw ''Dark Knight Rises''

7/10

First part (60min) of the movie was nothing but a standart cop movie.
There were so many charachters and everyone have so many little stories, that was shitty.
And about dialogs, the director is like ''talk faster, talk, faster, we have no time, quick quick quick''
So many unsense things happened. like :
(spoiler)
The healty Batman beaten by Bane easly.
Then he stays in a cave like prison and eats almost nothing and drinks a few drop water for 3 months  with a broken spinal cord (what recovered by a punch!)
Then he beats Bane with that condition.

Also that oxygen (or whatever) pipes on his mask..
Batman punches and it go out. Bane acts like ''aaaw noo, im deaad, heeelp, ooow'' instead of putting it back.
Then that Miranda girl comes and put it back easyly.
How stupid is this?

Anyways, im dissapointed with this. Still cool but its on shadow of the other movie.

(also..Morgan Freeman in every movie? Seriously?..)

Did we watch the same movie?

The film itself was close to three hours, and the dialogue never felt fast paced. Nolan is known for a lot of things in his films, but fast paced dialogue is not one of them. I will admit from time to time Bane was hard to understand. The first act of the film was rushed, but the first act is mainly meant to set up the characters and story and move on. Nolan needed to get in and get out with the way he outlined the script.

There weren't too many subplots, but the side stories were interesting and had lots of conflict that helped moved the plot forward. They worked together to make a cohesive ending. There were some stories I was more interested than others, like Catwoman's and Blake's.

[spoiler]If you remember, Bane was not beaten easily. It took Batman a few tries before he got to the point where he could catch Bane off guard to destroy his mask. Not to mention the prison scene where he just struggled to stand (Remember, Bane gave him that spinal injury) before he struggled to get out of the damn hole. There was quite a bit of conflict before that moment, so it wasn't an easy battle. Half the film is Batman trying to get the strength to even go up against Bane.

And the fact that Bane struggled after Batman's initial blow is plausible. I hear in the comics his mask was how his steroids were injected, but in the film it's used for something else completely. I would imagine it would be the equivalent of getting the wind kicked out of him. Even though he's a strong and very big dude, no one could recover from that easily. So yes, Miranda helping him put it back together isn't stupid. It's plausible.
[/spoiler]

Morgan Freeman helps move the Batman plot, so no, he's not a throw away and yes, he's useful.

Total Recall  (1990)
9/10

Such a great sci-fi.
I've just watched it for fun. It was more than fun.
I barely remembered some scenese from the past..

[bright lights, big city]

Totall Recall is so good. Fuck the new one.

Funny that the remake didn't go to Mars like the original, yet in the same weekend it released we actually land a goddamn robot on Mars.

[rock_n_frost]

Did you watch the new one?
How was it? (without any spoilers)

Edit: yeah i heard about that,too. I heard the robot took some colored photos of Mars for the first time ever. Any link for the pics?

[bright lights, big city]

yeah it was bad. Terrible writing and for the most part bad acting. Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are still gorgeous, but it was a waste.

here's some pics:

Total Recall   (2012)
7/10

It is a ''total copy'' of the 1990 movie.
You can do 100 different stories with concept of the Total Recall movie.
Instead, they just copy it.
1990 one  has WAY MORE sci-fi elements/characters /ideas than the new one.

This movie is full of fuckin LENS FLARE effect..
Lens flares are everywhere, even if there is no light.
Its the cheapest special effect (which can be done in adobe after effects so easyly) and they kept using it.

The action was good, little bit platforming jumps like mario game..but still this is just a copy on storybase.
Im angry.
