I need opinions on Unstoppable, Green Zone and Deja Vu.

decent action thrillers to kill the time but will hardly remember any of them the week after

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[Dostoevsky]

Thought so. I'll go with Green Zone.

Tried to download Hugo but there are like zillions of leechers, so no way

 

[acmilan]

Green Zone is probably the best and most relevant of the pack.

Hugo is probably best seen in 3D, if an option, as it is a very aesthetically pleasing movie ... if you are looking to be amazed with a plot, it is a hit and miss in that regard, depending on the person ... ffs, people, it's a kid/family movie, after all (that last part is for everyone who expected to see Goodfellas 2 in Hugo )

P.S. damn, looking at my post count - 3333 - the number "3" likes me a lot today

i'm judging by the poster, synopsis and main keyword which make me think it's an adventure movie like tintin

actually this movie is about

Spoiler

history history of film precisely

 

[Fint]

Watching 'Knuckle' now, movie documentary about bare-knuckle boxing and travellers, very gritty.

 

[Enron]

I've got that in the Netflix que.

 

[Fint]

Pretty gritty watching. Thankfully there's subtitles, I've had a few dealings with travelers but these guys in the movie take pikey talk to another level!

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

the bodyguard, heh

 

[Klin]

Is True Grit any good? Been on my desk for a while and I thought I'd watch it today.

 

[acmilan]

The Coen bros version? Generally, I am not too crazy about westerns but I liked it - more of a character/dialog driven movie, I'd say

 

[Klin]

Yeah. I'm hoping to find some good level of dry sense of humor, like a western movie should be.

 

[acmilan]

Yeah. I'm hoping to find some good level of dry sense of humor, like a western movie should be.

True Grit should do the trick then, go for it

 

[Enron]

Yeah. I'm hoping to find some good level of dry sense of humor, like a western movie should be.

Rio Bravo.

 

[Klin]

Rio Bravo.

I'll watch it with my father since it's old and Eazy recommended it.

 

[Trequartista]

I watched Thank you for smoking yesterday, for the first time.

Epic movie, that was awesome.

 

[Dostoevsky]

These I have available and waiting:

Green Zone
Lord Of War
Robin Hood
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Unknown
Watchmen

 

[acmilan]

Have not seen Robin Hood but the rest are worth watching - mostly good movies, not great but still ...
The US version, by Fincher, of the TGWDT is the better one, imo.
Watchmen is one of the very few superhero movies I actually bothered to watch beyond the first 20-30 min ... way better than the usual Spider Man, X-Men crap, imo.
Lord of War is Cage's best movie, by a mile imo (and I am not a fan of his at all). IIRC, US film studios refused to produce the movie due to its rather politically inconvenient content.
Unknown and Green Zone are good action thrillers, worth a watch but that's about it.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I did download Fincher's TGWDT. As for superhero movies, I think you should give X-Man First Class a go because I believe it's the best one out there, much better than previous parts IMO. Not sure about Robin Hood but I guess it's an enjoyable one.

I wanted to watch Watchmen tonight but I had no idea it lasts 3 hours. I don't mind long movies but I'm not sure I'll make it, so I'll rethink about that.

 

[acmilan]

yeah, heard very good remarks about the last x-men movie but never gave it a shot as I am not a big fan of that type of movies in general ... will probably give it a try when I can though
