I am sure I would love it as I am just a sucker to everything Woody Allen.

Those who have not seen Arlington Road should check it out.

X-Men First Class. Class! I don't have to say more.

It really suprised me too, outdid my expectations conisderably. Fleshed out Magneto and the original characters really well. Not just mindless action. Hopefully its successful enough in theaters, because they said they will do a series of it if is.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Jason Momoa will be Konan It's Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones by the way.


No idea if it was mentioned already, but it got me all excited It should be a good one.

YERRR GAYYY!!

 

[JuveJay]

Only just watched Robin Hood. WTF accent is he supposed to have?

 

[Snoop]

X-Men First Class. Class! I don't have to say more.

Damn I wish you told us before they removed the movie from cinemas here. The fools only leave the new movies for a week, or two maximum. Now there is hangover two, I think I should watch it no?

 

[Christina]

No.

The Fightrer Absolutely amazing movie in every aspect especially the acting. Mark Wahlberg is more and more becoming one of my all time favourites and Christian Bale pulled just another one of his sovereign performances. All that topped with the fabulous flower Amy Adams.

Wahlberg all time fave? The guy can barely act.

 

[Osman]

Lol yeah, The Fighter is one his more better acting roles though.

 

[icemaη]

Wahlberg is cool

 

[JCK]

Wahlberg is the man. Who doesn't love Boogie Nights?

 

[king Ale]

Wahlberg is the man. Who doesn't love Boogie Nights?

P.T. Anderson is the man.

 

[Avalanche]

Is it just me or is Wahlberg angry in about every one of his movies?

 

[Gustav]

P.T. Anderson is the man.

Nah, he's just a Robert Altman wannabe. He even admits it himself.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Nah, he's just a Robert Altman wannabe. He even admits it himself.

I'd say Altman's output has been more uneven than PTA's. Some of Altman's work is really quite bad, while PT Anderson hasn't made any true stinkers yet, even if I didn't really like Punch Drunk Love.

Altman experimented a lot, hence the hit n miss. I don't know any precursors to movies like MASH, Nashville or Short Cuts, all uncharted territory. There's nothing original about Anderson, on whom another influence is Tarantino(who's also influenced by Altman, see The Long Goodbye).

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Maybe so, but I don't care for experimenting just for the sake of experimenting, when it doesn't have any actual value or isn't worth watching (not that that was often the case with Altman).
You, me, or anyone else for that matter can shoot a film that hasn't been done before, doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Both Boogie Nights & Magnolia were absolute masterpieces for me. And considering that we (or I at least) don't see these kinds of films every other week, I do consider them original in some way. Depends of course on how you define original in this case.

 

[king Ale]

I'm with Buck on this. P.T Anderson has admitted himself how he's idolized Altman but it doesn't make him any less good as he is creating excellent stuff himself. Many directors have idolized the legends such as Hitchcock and Kubrick but how many of them have been successful even at copying their works? P.T. Anderson makes very few movies but whenever he is to release something, you know for damn sure that you are going to see a masterpiece.

 

[JCK]

I agree with Hoori and Buck, a director might follow the style of another director but that does not credit them any less. If they have done something good then it deserves the credit.
