Two movies I need to track down and see again: Flight of the Navigator & Total Recall

I guess there's going to be a remake of Total Recall coming out this fall...

FOTN is such a good classic. It's cool to go back and watch to see the cars and great outfits of that time.

Not quite sure about Total Recall yet. Saw the teaser and there are these storm-trooper like humanoids walking around and then Collin Farrell running around. Next thing you know they'll be remaking Predator. LOL

saw a preview the other day for the movie lockout...reminds me of the Kurt Russel escape from LA or NY movie...send a convict in to do a task no one else can do yadda yadda yadda.

Also I don't understand the obsession with Titanic...the movie since they are bringing it back out in 3D and the real life incident. Yes is was a very sad and tragic event, but geeze...let the wreck sit in peace at the bottom of the ocean already.

^^^ You mean you don't want to see Leonardo DiCaprio in 3D? He doesn't do it for you? LOL

Watched Immortals last night

It was awesome...lots of people being stabbed and gods fighting titans...what's not to love

 

[pbrme]

I would have diarrhea all over the theater if I was forced to watch the 3D.

I always get Leo and Matt Damon mixed up... but you know... Ben just makes my heart go pitty pat... Phantoms was the BOMB, yo. no seriously... in college I alternated between posters of "The Rock" and him above my bed

Did I get those people mixed up again? I am horrid with keeping track of famous people... for the longest time I thought Snookie was something people did, but it turns out... it's a girl!!!

 

[wilheldp_PE]

it's a girl!!!

Debatable.

Just watched Tucker & Dale vs Evil on Netflix. It was so stupid it was funny. I laughed my ass off, but it was so dumb. The only downside was there were two hot blond chicks but no nekkedness...

Saw Dirty Girl this weekend, which turned out to be a surprisingly good coming of age/road film.

It's cool to go back and watch to see the cars and great outfits of that time.

A few Christmases ago, i got the first three seasons of Profiler. When watching it, I noticed the 'fish mouth' generation Taurus and made a comment like, "Why are they driving those crappy Tauruses and look how nice they look!" before I remembered the show first came out in 1996.

Then i felt old.

Ok, so we saw The Lazarus Project a few nights ago. Meh. It was alright. Nothing to write home about, but it does have a sweet MILF (no nekkidness ). It's a "thriller", but it didn't live up to its genre, IMO. It kept me watching, but not on the edge of my seat. Moral of the story, don't have a criminal record. 3.5 stars.

 

[Master slacker]

Now here is a pretty sweet movie - Limitless. Again, another thriller, but this was actually worth watching two times, which we did. We genuinely enjoyed this movie as it is a flawless how-to video of how to be smarter.

Step 1 - Learn that there is a magic pill.

Step 2 - ...

Step 3 - Profit (or get smarter, whatever).

No brainer, right? This is a movie I recommend, not so much as a "thriller", but just as a good movie to watch if you'd like to be entertained for an hour and a half. Yeah, a movie this day and age that is LESS than two hours. 4 stars.

Saw "Immortals" the other night. It was OK, had some good scenes, but it was a bit of a yawner. I was expecting non-stop action circa 300, but it fell a bit short. I also think if you're going to name a group of baddies "Titans," they should at least be gigantic in stature.

Oh, the American version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was also excellent. The guy who plays the lead in the foreign version does a better job than Daniel Craig, but all in all, I like it as much as the original. Some scenes/relationships were better executed in the foreign version, but the American version took some of the scenes to a higher level. The girl who took Noomi Rapace's spot in the American version also did a better job than I'd thought, though she'd be way hotter if she actually had eyebrows.

Good to know, I was debating about watching the American version. I hate watching the movies after I've read the books usually.

I liked that movie myself. Very different (err weird) like you said. Not many big name actors/actresses which was a refreshing change of pace. And I thought the screen play looked awesome. Especially when they would show those special weapons wreaking havoc on people in real time. LOL

And not that it matters, but Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails did the soundtrack to the entire movie. Odd, but fit the mood/various scenes perfectly.

Saw Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star. Stupid, but hilarious movie. Don Johnson tries hard, but doesn't best Burt Reynolds for best portrayal of a pr0n director.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

^^^ But I would argue that Don Johnson has a better pr0n name...
