One of those movies featured a genetically engineered frail 90lb woman who easily killed trained killers. Let’s see, Hannah and Columbiana came out in the last 3-4 months. Salt has been playing on Starz a lot. I mean like every other night. Now Starz is running director’s cut versions of the movie. So, I guess they be fresh on my mind. Or maybe they just happened to be good movies that starred women.
You can add Sucker Punch to the list too. That movie rocked, and it starred a whole flock of 90lb women. There just aren’t enough movies these days with 30 foot tall robot samurai. Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner aren’t making action flicks, and I don’t see any other chicks stepping up to the plate besides the 90lbers. Rachel Nichols maybe (GI JOE, CONAN, ALIAS)?
You could argue I have some weird man crush on Chris Evans because I like The Losers, Push, Cellular, and Captain America. Or Jason Statham with movies like The Transporter, War, The Expendables, and Blitz. Maybe its just something special that the best movies that get made are invariably ranked between 6.0-6.5 over at IMDB.
The earlier “etc…” are movies I watch annuallyish like Ghost In The Shell, Terminator 1 & 2, Predator 1 & 2, Ninja Assassin, Soy El Numero Cuatro, 28 Days Later, Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, etc…etc…etc…[/quote]
Bujo you got a place to stay if you ever come through Houston. I liked all these movies you listed, I like the weird stuff also and so I can understand what Roy is talking about. [/quote]
I watch and enjoy all types of movies. I tend to talk about the weirder ones more because they are generally the least talked about. The bigger releases get plenty of coverage without my help.
The main thing is to watch movies for your own enjoyment and don’t get too caught up in what other people think of them. If I like or dislike a movie, then I’ll have plenty of good reasons why I felt that way.
I thought Cowboys & Aliens was overly long, the premise was stretched paper-thin, some moments bordered on cliche, the leads had no rapport and making them both ‘men of action, not words’ brought the movie down. Not to mention the production was plagued with difficulties (mostly at the development stage).
I saw it with three friends: we all have wildly diverse tastes when it comes to movies (one of them doesn’t like horror movies and refuses to watch them. He preferred GL to Thor, which he described as “a bit naff”). We all agreed that the movie was disappointing. I was the only one that didn’t go into it blind.
If we have a difference of opinion on a movie, there’s no need to post up several other flicks to validate your opinion. It implies that because I don’t like C & A, I didn’t like Hanna (thought it was brilliant, btw). Totally different movies, and don’t belong in the same discussion.
Again, if you personally enjoyed a movie, that’s what matters, right? Outside opinions shouldn’t change that.[/quote]
Roy you are always invited also.
I have not seen Cowboys and Aliens. No way I would pay to see it, thought it looked blue ray from the beginning. I might enjoy it who knows.
