If you're ever in Philly and looking for something different to do, take a tour of Eastern State Penitentiary, where the insane asylum was filmed. Creepy, interesting and fun place to visit.Worm said:
FWIW, I was pretty drunk when I watched this, so while I enjoyed it more than 4/10, even in my drunken stupor it didnt feel much better than that. When you say close as its going to be to the comics, it was kind of a #### Tracy-esque movie but with R-rated violence.And whatchoo talkin bout willis, The Rock is 1 of the best action movies ever, not corny at all.hooter311 said:

Absolutely. I love classic film, so I am geeked about seeing this.hooter311 said:
and who can forget the timeless comedy Senior Trip!he got an IFC Best Actor nomination for Dahmer in 2002.hooter311 said:PTA, that sounds awesome, hopefully they can lock down Renner, I hated him the first time I can remember seeing him in SWAT, but he has intrigued me since with his roles in 28 Weeks Later, Hurt Locker, and Assassination of Jesse James.
I wish I could be you and watch this again for the first time.KarmaPolice said:Skimming through that thread (as I am thinking about my 100 movies), I realized I haven't seen Cool Hand Luke or Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.hooter311 said:
Yes. I can't stop thinking about this movie.

Oy. The Rock is awful.

I was actually going to draft this in the Great Movie Draft as an action movie, but after a couple PMs with some people I learned that the majority don't hold this in the same light I do.Best action movie in the last 20 years if you ask me.
Awfully GOOD you mean."I'd take pleasure in guttin' you, boy. I'd take pleasure in guttin' you... boy." What is wrong with these people, huh? Mason? Don't you think there's a lot of, uh, a lot of anger flowing around this island? Kind of a pubescent volatility? Don't you think? A lotta angst, a lot of "I'm sixteen, I'm angry at my father" syndrome? I mean grow up! We're stuck on an island with a bunch of violence-for-pleasure-seeking psycophatic marines, SHAME-ON-THEM!
You just lost a lot of movie credibility, pal.7.2 on IMDB
Sandra Bullock being President?Watching her run around in a bikini in Speed 2, they might as well cast a 12 year old boy for that part.
Mila Jovovich was busy.
I watched this again just the other week and never noticed just how bad Mason #### kicks every marine he encounters in no time flat. One question did arise. How come he threw the sniper rifle off the roof with the marine when he could have covered Goodspeed with it?Awfully GOOD you mean."I'd take pleasure in guttin' you, boy.

Cage is so bad in this movie i have to mute his parts sometimes. he brings the movie down a few notches, but it's still a quality action flick.

I use this sequence of lines from Harris often when debating with friends, sans pulling an actual handgun.General Hummel: You've been asked by an old friend.Major Tom Baxter: Put him on the phone right now.General Hummel: You're being ordered by a superior officer.Major Tom Baxter: This is Major Baxter...!General Hummel: [draws] Now you're being given your last chance by a man with a gun.

Cage had a nearly unbeatable back to back action trifecta with The Rock, Con Air, and Face/Off. All awesome in their own right.Which brings me back to my point that when Cage doesnt make a #### movie, he's pretty good.
If I have to watch that "Don't shoot the bunny" scene one more time in my life, I'll cut my own eyes and ears off.This started the whole long-haired Cage shenanigans, boy am I glad that wifebeater Cage didn't catch on. (Sans Little Junior Brown which was from years prior)
As a guilty pleasure, sure no problem but best action movie in the last 20 years, that's shocking.It had a mining cart chase underneath Alcatraz. Seriously.I was actually going to draft this in the Great Movie Draft as an action movie, but after a couple PMs with some people I learned that the majority don't hold this in the same light I do.
Best action movie in the last 20 years if you ask me.
I love Face/Off although I haven't seen it in years. Cage as Castor Troy was completely bad ###, Travolta didn't do that character justice.
I enjoy Armageddon as infinitely re-watchable despite (or maybe because of) its cheezy awfulness.As a guilty pleasure, sure no problem but best action movie in the last 20 years, that's shocking.It had a mining cart chase underneath Alcatraz. Seriously.

Michael Bay's best work was Keri Kendall's video centerfold.
I shed a tear in the theater, I was probably around 14, but the tear was real. I've never tried to seduce anyone with an animal cracker though.
1 movie Im kind of glad Ive never seen.
I can't even begin to find the words to express the awful that is Armageddon. Although I'll give a nod to the "no taxes for life" thing, that was clever. I'm gonna go ahead and say Bay had nothing to do with that.Oh and another nod to killing Owen Wilson which is never a bad thing.As a guilty pleasure, sure no problem but best action movie in the last 20 years, that's shocking.It had a mining cart chase underneath Alcatraz. Seriously.

oof. Transformers movies weren't much better.Bay's fast cut gimmicks have turned into nothing more than a formula. It's like he uses the exact same plot outlines for each 2 1/2 hour film he puts together and just changes the characters and the setting.
Here's just a snippet of the dialogue
Just READING that makes me angry in a "Hulk get mad, Hulk SMASH" sort of way.
I think I started smoking joints after that scene. Sick opening sequence.
Jesus Christ. The Rock, Con Air, and Face/Off are to Action Movies what Nickelback, Daughtry, and Van Hagar are to Rock and Roll. Van Hagar put a noose around rock's throat, and Nickelback kicked the chair from under its legs. Similarly, The Rock and Con Air have plunged their knives into the heart of the Action Movie, and Gone in Sixty Seconds is twisting . . . twisting . . . twisting. #### Nick Cage.
I am totally in the minority here, so I'd never claim my opinion to be "right." Just not my cup of tea.I was actually going to draft this in the Great Movie Draft as an action movie, but after a couple PMs with some people I learned that the majority don't hold this in the same light I do.Best action movie in the last 20 years if you ask me.
Like I told hooter, I'm in a small minority, so I realize I'll get heat for saying that. But mass ratings are not a measure of quality.You just lost a lot of movie credibility, pal.7.2 on IMDB
I'd crawl over a mile of broken glass just to hold her hand.
Its not even close to being considered a great movie, but for pure entertainment value it is one of my all time favorites.
Big fan of this movie.Watched Punch-Drunk Love for the first time last night. I didn't know Sandler had it in him. He was great. Really good movie.
The way the score and direction made you feel his anxiety was pretty impressive. It was a relief when you could relax again.
Just now saw that the pudding storyline was based on actual events.
I can scarcely think of an actor I enjoy watching more than Ed Harris.Ed Harris is
