The Zone

in all fairness, if they released a trailer for the Broadway version of Cats, it would probably be just as goofy and creepy. maybe that's why Broadway plays don't release trailers?

Dolomite is My Name

If a movie has all african american actors in it, is it racist to think it looks bad? Cause this looks really stupid. Maybe its Eddie... to me it looks like he's just doing a SNL skit.

by **TheBaxter** on Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:21 pm

i mean, the long-awaited return of R-Rated Eddie Murphy is intriguing at least. who knows what that will look like in 2019?
kinda gives me a Boogie Nights vibe. this film could go either way.

You know, HUSTLE & FLOW was a really good film.

This looks like a shitburger.

People have trashed most of the Madea films without any ill effects. They're probably safe here.

finally, the long-awaited prequel to "2 Girls 1 Cup"

most prequels are usually weak because we all know how things turn out eventually already.....

...I'd rather see the sequel set 2500 years after the original, when Apes have taken over the planet, "2 Apes 1 Human"

but then you're losing the most interesting character from the original... the cup.

The character of the cup has been recast as a chalice. The alt-right is up in arms, deriding it as "SJW bullshit."

Woof.

And I'm sure you'll have the same reaction i did to Martin Lawrence's chubby face.... "what was he doing in his Big Mama's House studly suit?"

Also looking forward to Death on the Nile, despite Orient Express not being that good.

I watched this without sound. Here are my thoughts.

Haven't they been trying to make this with RDJ for like years now?

Why are these pieces of shit always overlit? What is this, the fucking '50s?

That's pretty much it.

This looks interesting.

Death on the Nile, a quasi-sequel to Murder on the Orient Express:

I found the first one to be surprisingly good, so I'm down.

by **Al Shut** on Thu Aug 20, 2020 6:21 am

I was a bit disapointed by the first, but I also think Death on the Nile is a better source and easier to adapt, so I'm still looking forward to this.

Unfortunately it is doomed from the start because it has Armie Hammer in it.

Clue 2: Egyptian Boogaloo

NOBODY

I can't tell if this movie is supposed to be a comedy or just an action movie with slightly comedic elements. It's very confusing watching Bob Odenkirk kick ass.

I saw this during the game last night and had that same reaction. I'm guessing its a more comedic take on the John Wick genre. Made more funny by the fact that its Saul Goodman somehow kicking ass.

Night should make a plain boring drama about suburban life that has a trite "Wonder Years" ending, just to psyche people out who sat through it expecting a big twist at the end.

"trite" didn't work out for him so well on Lady in the Water.

Someone much smarter than me is going to have to write an essay on the conversion of iconic female villains into antiheroines.

I'm not super-enthused, but my biggest criticism of the Disney adaptations has been their rigid adherence to the animated versions. This is a (relatively) wild departure by those standards. Plus it's got a surprisingly good pedigree (no pun intended), most interestingly to me a co-screenwriting credit for Tony McNamara, creator of the excellent royal drama The Great.

it all started with "I Spit On Your Grave" as a Snow White retelling of the "evil" Queen taking revenge against the group of sexual deviants who tried to kill her and kidnap her stepdaughter as their own servant

Maleficent definitely had some major I Spit On Your Grave energy.
