what film is that? girl on left looks amazing

Pan's Labyrinth.

Oh, this looks like a cool fantasy movie, let's see what all the fuss is abouOH GOD WAR IS HORRIBLE

>>3659750
Bridge to Terabithia, based on the children's book. Marketed like a light-hearted Narnia-esque fantasy.

Instead you just end up crying like a bitch.

>>3659755
>>3659760
Fun filled fantasy story that turns into a tragedy?

I think I'm seeing a pattern here.

>>3659755
You are now humming the song from this movie out loud.

>>3659755
I was pleasently surprised with this though.

Bridge to Terabethia made me RAGE 5 years off my lifespan, I hated it so much. Worst part of 5th grade. Also, anyone ever see the first movie version of the book, where the chick looks like an ugly lesbian.

me and my friend dubbed it Bridge to Gayrabathia

I probably would have thought the book was a lot better now that I'm more mature of a person, either that or rage just as hard.

>>3659780
I was not fucking ready for the Captain to smash the kid's face in.

>>3659760
Honestly one of the most depressing movies i've ever seen

from dusk till dawn

that movie took a horrible turn for the worst at the exact moment the dancer turned into a lizard

>>3659784
I really liked it when I read it in middle school.

That's why when the movie came out I loved seeing it in theaters - it's like the trailers were master trolling for little kids.

>>3659760

So, pretty much just like how Pan's Labyrinth turned out then?

Awesome. Time to hunt down a torrent for that.

If this keeps this thread may turn out to be full of epic win.

Wanted rates pretty highly for me; expected dumb action movie, got Fight Club meets Nikita.

>>3659785
nah me neither.

I wanted the captain dead there and then. Biggest bastard ive seen in a movie in a long time.

>>3659816
The guy who plays the captain is like a fucking comedian too, apparently.

>>3659790
That entire movie was just an elaborate trolling attempt.

>>3659809
It's definitely not as intense as Pan's Labyrinth, but I loved Bridge to Terabithia.

And holy shit, Wanted was actually good? I just dismissed it.

>>3659790

Dusk Til Dawn was the result of Tarantino having the idea for the start of a crime story, and the idea for the second half a vampire movie. Then he figured (presumably whilst drinking heavily) that the answer was to jam the two together, add duct tape until they somehow started to sort of fit, and call it done.

Oh hey, another dumb, action-packed, buddy comedy.
The only thing that got me to watch this was when I found out Martin McDonagh wrote and directed it.

I love Bridge To Terabithia and Pan's Labyrinth.

However I could only wastch BTT once <.<.

>>3659843
That was actually the best movie of the year.

/tv/ just has a thing for movies with adorable lolis.

>>3659835
Wanted was good and Terabithia was OK. Child acting almost always sucks.

Reservoir Dogs.

>>3659878

I don't think anyone would deny that

>>3659843
FUCK YOU!!!

>>3659873
FUCK YEAH!!!!

>>3659730
EVERY MOVIE EVER!

>>3659918
FFFFFFFFFF

>>3659835

It's the Fight Club stuff that comes out of nowhere. Something like the first half hour of the film is just this brilliant dark comedy about how completely fucking pathetic this guy's life is.

The everyman character of Wesley is incredibly believable; he's not some collossal bad-ass with balls of brass and a dick made of solid steel. He's just a jumped up little nerd who's been given a chance to escape his pathetic wreck of a life.

The acting is solid throughout; Angelie Jolie actually turns in a powerful performance, which may be a first, and Morgan Freeman plays the single coolest role of his life. As for James McAvoy... yeah, he's just freaking awesome.

Also, Danny Elfman soundtrack, for the win.

Epic Movie

Made the movie look terrible. It was worse than that.

Hancock - Went in expecting a cheesy super's spoof. Very, very different film.

JCVD

Baby Mama. It looked semi-decent but was complete shit.

>>3659988
>Baby Mama
>semi-decent

The Punisher (2004)
it looked like a cool movie

>>3659730

click


I expected: Mediocre adam sandle comedy with some fun turns

I got: OH GOD MANLY TEARS EVEYRWHERE OH GOD THE FUCKING RAIN HES HES HES FUCKING YING OH GOD OH GOD IM CRYING LIKE A LITTLE MOTHERFUCKING GIRL HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

I just wasn't expecting it. I was watching it while trying to fall asleep. All of the sudden "your friend is dead."

I thought I misheard it and turned the volume up.

I didn't cry, but goddamn, it just sorta shook me. I did not see it coming. I thought it was just a lighthearted children's movie about adventure.

>>3659973
While I liked Hancock, I think it could've been better if it was just Will Smith The Asshole Superhero.

>>3660005
After that line parents in the theater just fucking gasped. It was crazy.

I've read BTT. In the book she's drawn literally as a boy and there's a scene where the boy sees his younger sister in just her panties and stares at her. She calls him a perv but he's thinking how proud of her he is and how much he loves her.

That's the only differences. Except maybe more damns.

Awesome movie.
There was NO fucking time travel in it.

>>3660000
It ended up being awesome.

>>3660036
I think they said tomboys weren't as big a deal anymore so they decided to make her a little hipster.

>>3660002

This. I cried like a bitch too.

>>3660037

Inb4 pretentious.

The Incredible Hulk. It looked ok.

I thought it was the biggest comic-book adaptation fail ever.

I havent seen the trailer but i heard that kubrick trolled everyone with eyes wide shut


brb trailer watching

Donnie Darko. Love it or hate it, it was marketed as a horror film.

And Wanted was a complete piece of shit that tried too hard to be like Fight Club and lacks everything that made the source material decent. It's like Fight Club's retarded nephew who likes to dress up in superman pajamas.

>>3660054

I'm happy they changed her to a pretty loli. All in all it's one of the better book adaptations.

Should I give Bridge to Terrabithia or whatever the fuck it is called, a whirl?
I only know it from trailers. Looked like another cash cow cash in on the ALTERNATE WORLD FANTASY bullshit.

>>3660095
Fuck yes.

The fantasy is so fucking unimportant.

>>3660095
YES watch it.

>>3660095

It's highly recommended. Also it has Zooey Deschanel and she actually does some acting.

>>3660095
Downloadan now. Maybe this thread will still be around when I'm done.

>>3660095
All the fantasy crap are just the two kids playing make believe in the woods.

It's really unimportant and has nothing to do with the actual story. Just used to market more to kids.

This shit right here

Merovingian - Bring me the eyes of the Oracle and I will give you back your savior.

Trinity - lol no! XD

It's not out yet but The Road is getting fucked in its trailers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQautgFKK50
It looks like a Roland Emmerich movie.

If you've read the book, you'll know that people expecting to go in to see a Bruce Willis style natural disaster flick will be crushed.

Sleepwalking, also with AnnaSophia Robb

In the trailer they tried to make her lolita-ish so I thought it'd be interesting. It wasn't. I think she's great but the movie was bland as hell.

>>3660128
I saw AnnaSophia and Lolita and got excited, but now I'm just disappointed.

>>3660037
I was really surprised how much I liked that movie. I need to pick up a copy at some point.

>>3660123

Hey, I have a question. Is the scream at 2:03 in that trailer like some other sort of Wilhelm scream? Because you hear it in a lot of things, for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49sPDziuO84&feature=related

>>3659843

Get the fuck out, that was a great movie.

In 1979, we discovered in space no one can hear you scream.

In 1992, we will discover, on Earth, everyone can hear you scream.

>>3660138

The Kite Runner

It's like a five year old explained the plot to the director in three sentences and they based it on that instead of the book.

>>3660164
i wish i knew. it is definitely NOT the willhelm scream. this is in the Ahh real monsters' intro and in Broken Arrow. does anyone know the name of this scream?

>>3660164
Gut-Wrenching Scream or the YOURAAGH.
It's a stock scream. You can hear it in StarCraft at the Terran Academy.

>>3660179
Was that Aliens or Aliens 3 that was supposed to have an Alien invasion on Earth?

>>3660168
>>3659906
You misunderstand. I'm saying the trailer made it look like a mediocre buddy comedy and I was really apathetic towards seeing it until I saw who wrote and directed it. I'm not saying the movie was bad, because it wasn't.

>>3660194
That was Alien 3.

>>3660189
http://horrorshow.videosift.com/video/Dedicated-to-the-Youraaagh-The-other-famous-movie-scream

>>3659730

I just read the synopsis and that shit sounds sad as fuck. I remember seeing the trailer and thought is was some kind of Narnia bullshit, not some made up fantasy to escape their shitty lives. I may have to actually see this.

>>3660164
Howie Scream?

>>3659940
>like fight club
>brilliant black comedy


...jesus. what's wrong with you? i seriously hope you're trolling.


or pete hammond.

>>3659940
ha ha you've never seen changeling.

>>3660000
>>3660014
Those were both excellent.
>>3660063
AND IT HAD THE WORST SONG EVER

That "Set Me Free" song. It was just a really, really terrible song.

This thread just makes me want to go into the department of studios involved in promoting films.

I feel like it's a lucrative career choice for trolls.

Happy Feet. Pic related.

>>3660334
No... Happy Feet was supremely well directed, had great visuals and was fun.
Watership Down was a shit bastardization of a great novel.

>>3660353

Imagine Watership Down, directed by George Miller.

>>3660334
Gotta agree with this.
I was surfing /tv/ when I saw a thread coming about Happy Feet. I had no idea why as the trailers looked like TALKING ANIMAL COMEDY X.
It was much better.
Also, required image.

>>3660365
That'd be... AWESOME

>>3660369

The trailers were terrible, except for that first one. It's funny to look at them, and you notice that all the footage is either taken from the first ten minutes of the film, or isn't in there, at all.

>>3659730
people who never read books

>>3660392

>Come back! Come back and fight! Dogs aren't dangerous!

I don't remember the trailer but Surf's Up was much better than I expected. Shit is underrated.

>>3660369

What I'm wondering is, what's with the decision to do the sequel in 3d? That seems - odd. And, so does the title:

"Happy Feet 2 In 3d"

>>3660423

I love the first twenty minutes, especially. The scene where the main character whatshisname is trying to get on the whale - that's the best scene of the movie.

>>3660426

Remember Miller was also going to do Mad Max 4 in 3D, or so he said a couple of months ago. And, it was going to be an anime. That changed pretty quickly.

Happy Feet 2 is probably a little farther along than Mad Max 4, but I'm pretty sure that the inclusion of '3D' is tenuous.

>>3660423
Haven't seen that one either. Might download it if I can get some more recommendations.

>>3660426

3D is the new money maker. 3D movies make 15% more money than non-3D movies now. The new 3D is really good and worth the extra money.

>>3660465

It's a good movie. It's no Happy Feet, but it's certainly worth the download. Only film that I can stand Shia La------ in.

Also - "Dude, she called you crap!"

>>3660426
Happy Feet 2 seems like a very unneeded sequel.
What made the first one good was the alien sense of the humans and the whole church hierarchy of the emperor penguins. But both have been dealt with.

>>3660490

I don't know, I think there's some stuff you could expand on. There's no real need for it, in itself, but I could think of places they could go.

>>3660485
The 3D gimmick is a transparent attempt to get more people in the theater.
Why go out when you can stay at home and watch it in your home theater without the bother of other people and exorbitant prices?

da vinci code

>>3660498

Also, Miller is on a sequel kick, right now. He's also rescusitated Mad Max, although he's been trying to make that for seventeen years. This is the closest it's come since then to getting made.

>>3660426
3D is just the "in" gimmick for children's movies right now. It'll pass.

I thought Hitman would suck but I liked it and even ending up buying it.

>>3660498

- like?

>>3660532

Bring in real aliens.

>>3660556
Too much of a rehash. Humans are aliens to the penguins. Abductions and everything.

>>3660589

Keep that dynamic, with them acting as aliens to the penguins - in fact, you could expand on that, with people coming to the colony every so often.

See, it's kind of a hierarchy. If the penguins are humans, and the humans are aliens, then what are the aliens, to the penguins?

Not saying it's a good idea, just something to throw around. Doesn't mess up the dynamic of the first film too much, I don't think.

>>3660465

>Consensus: Surf's Up is a laid back, visually stunning animated movie that brings a fresh twist to some familiar conventions. Its witty mockumentary format is fun and inventive, and the CGI is breathtakingly realistic.

It's 77 on RT, 64 on Metacritic. Just download it ;).

>>3660620

Happy Feet works better as a stand-alone film, really. Sequel could work, but I wish Miller would do more stand-alone films - Mad Max 4 could be good, but I'm hoping he returns to stand-alone films, sooner or later.

Hey, this looks like a smart, upbeat, witty comedy.

OH GOD SO DARK BUT FUNNY I DONT KNOW WHY I AM LAUGHING THESE GUYS ARE FUCKED UP HUMAN BEINGS BUT FUNNY

>>3660642

I think I repeated myself. How did that happen?

>>3660620
How about turning the humans into Gods for the penguins?

>>3660649
Trailer: Heh, this looks hilarious. Guess I'm watching it on Friday

Movie: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>>3660658

That could be interesting - the humans (or the aliens, actually, as that kind of makes a little more sense) being deified.

Alternately, we should also see more of this guy.

>>3660702
too deep for ya bro

>>3660706

>>3660706
I don't think the aliens being deified over the humans would make any more sense than the humans being deified.
To the penguins, there is no difference between aliens and humans. They only know that they both come from far far away.

Or maybe they should do it in a Close Encounters way. Have the penguins meet the aliens as gods first. Then have them try to tell the humans about them. Or something.

>>3660014
>>3660014

Anybody who does not likes this has no soul.

>>3660753
SUPERMAN

>>3660749
>Or maybe they should do it in a Close Encounters way. Have the penguins meet the aliens as gods first. Then have them try to tell the humans about them. Or something.
Wait, no.
Have the humans meet the aliens first. And go missing or get fucked up or something. Then a penguin goes investigating. Finding influences all along the way.

Wait.
That's just the first movie again.

>>3660749

Well, what I was thinking was, reveal the fact that these actually are aliens over the course of the film - the humans are showing up a lot more, and the sky's cast all over with weird looking lights. Then, gradually, throughout the film, it's revealed that these things are something entirely other.

>>3660779

I had an idea similar to this, but it involved the penguins being forced to migrate.

>>3660774

Well, that'd kind of depend on how it's done, really.

>>3660706

This. I want to see more of the penguin deity.

Pineapple Express.

Predictable stoner comedy

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SEE THAT GUY GET HIS BRAINS BLOWN OUT I DIDN'T COME HERE TO SEE THAT

Not necessarily misleading, but Terminator 2. It destroyed the twist.

i thought this would be a ironically mature movie adaption of Run Spot Run

that would have been pretty cool, instead all i got was shitty german techno and time travel cop-outs

>>3660880

>>3660876

What twist?

>>3660946
Wait. Are you saying it isn't Get Off My Lawn You Darn Kids: The Movie?

>>3660953
That the Arnold Terminator was actually sent back to help Connor, not kill him.
The earliest trailers made it look like it was two Terminators sent to get Connor and mum.

>>3660956

Oh, it is. But, with guns, and racial tolerance. And gangs. And incest. And bad acting from a couple of people.

>>3660979

Except no incest, very little guns, and most of all...
CLINT DOES NOT SHOOT ANYONE

>>3660996

One of the gang members beats and rapes that girl, who is his cousin.

Donnie Darko.

DX

>>3661030
>DX
Is that some type of postmodern trolling?

>>3660779

Whatever the sequel does, it needs some His Name Is Alive and My Bloody Valentine on the soundtrack.

See, bad thing about talking about Happy Feet on /tv/ is that it can quickly turn to /mu/.

>>3659843
THIS

I thought this movie would be terrible. My brother ended up seeing it and telling me how much I liked it, so I checked it out and ended up thinking it was phenomenal.

>>3661070
how much he liked it*

>>3661044

More Prince.

That is all.

>>3660123
>>If you've read the book, you'll know that people expecting to go in to see a Bruce Willis style natural disaster flick will be crushed.
Everybody coming out of watching The Road will be crushed, emotionally and spiritually

>>3661166
Yeeeeeeah...I wouldn't count on that.

>>3661043
Just annoyed at how much fail the trailer for Donnie Darko was.

>>3661177
look, I just want to see some dead babies get eaten, can't I have the dream?

>>3661166

I went to see The Mist with a couple of friends - who hadn't read the book. I didn't say a word, on the way there - and neither did they, on the way back.

>>3661193

why would you do that

>>3661193

Was the book superior? Movie was pretty decent despite the ending

Happy feet. Loved by all?

>>3661290
Never read the book, but the ending was the best part of the Mist. I couldn't control my laughter. I mean, really, they weren't in a suicide situation. The monsters were pretty brutal, not torturous. There was no reason to use the gun. And then the ultimate irony of the tanks passing by at the end.

I mean, really, that was fucking hilarious. Made the movie something memorable.

>>3661304
>I mean, really

Sorry. Tired.

>>3661290
Movie is faithful adaption until the end. The end of the short story (or novella if you want to get pedantic) has the narrator writing the story on napkins in a hotel. He and the other survivors take off in their vehicle to an undetermined future.
Movie ending was better I think.

>>3661295

Every film forum I've been a part of also seems to like it a lot - CHUD, Match-Cut, etc. So, yes. Loved by all.

>>3661304
>The monsters were pretty brutal, not torturous.
Did you miss the part with the spider creature laying eggs in that guys body to have them eat his insides away while he was alive ultimately leading his body to explode into baby spiders?
That shit was fucking high octane nightmare fuel.

>>3661328
>Did you miss the part with the spider creature laying eggs in that guys body to have them eat his insides away while he was alive ultimately leading his body to explode into baby spiders?

Apparently. Aside from tentacles and flying bugs coming inside that store, I do not remember any spiders.

>>3661320

It also got lots of love in France - critics liked it over here well enough, but not as much as they did over there. I mean, wow.

>>3659843
You shut your whore mouth.

>>3660037
They never said there was.

>>3661343
The tentacles were pretty bad on their own. What with the flesh melting and what not.
The spiders showed up when they went to the other store to see if there were survivors. On top of the chestbursting babies, they also spin acid webs.

>>3661295

Yes. Except for conservatives. Which is good.

>>3661166
>>3660123

Is the movie going to be good? I was hoping viggo mortensen would play the father, if bruce willis is though, guess that won't be too bad...

>>3659730
The Prestige,

What I expected: Magic. What I got: CLONES!!!!

What about those giant flying bat-things?

It makes it look like the parts with Tomas are actually happening and that he is literally the same person as Tommy.

Snakes On A Plane

What i expected: i thought the title was a metaphor about the hardships and jealous coworkers(snakes) someone faces on their way up the ranks in an aviation career.

What i got: snakes on a fucking plane.

They advertised it as a action film. Instead it's more of a drama.

The ad featured a fighter jet shooting a missile at a ship for christ sakes. But it was no where in the final film.

>>3661446
