The Movie Thread

Recommended Posts

Watched a couple of movies last night. First of all, I watched Transformers again, and I it should be prohibited, also Michael Bay should refrain from making any more movies. And watched One Missed Call, man should I have listened the warnings, I hadn't watched a horror film that bad since Silent Hill.

District 9... out of ten! See what I did there? ;)

 

Equal parts funny/serious/documentary/actiony/emotional/reflection-on-humanity. But in this film it all works, and it's the first film I think I can honestly say I've forgotten that there's any CGI. It's all done so well and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

 

Oh, and the South African accent is the funniest for swearing. It's official.

The A-Team is coming out as a feature film in June-July next year. I was a huge fan of the series growing up, but I'm skeptical whether this is going to be as good as it's supposed to be. Too bad none of the original cast will be involved. :)

 

Who should play Hannibal? In a YouTube video I watched the other day George Cloony was the chosen one (hypothetically speaking of course, the cast is probably already determined). He's a good actor, just not sure if he's right for the job. Faceman was to be played by Brad Pitt. I'm not a big fan of him, but I think he'd be the perfect choice. Really. Not sure about the other two: Murdock and BA. ;)

 

Should they include a female reporter? Dunno, if the writer is skillful enough to keep her as low-key as possible it might work. I say bring back Lance LeGault as Colonel Decker (I realize he's like in his 70's now, but he has a great presence on screen). Maybe not Colonel anymore but General or something. And yup, get Robert Vaughn in there too as Stockwell. He was a great actor. Eddie Valez as Frankie Santana would be another one to bring back. Ah, all wishes on my part. :)

The A-Team was special because of its cast. Turning old series into modern films don't always work. Or when they do, they rarely feel the same as their base material. We'll wait and see. Hope they at least keep it campy and semi-serious.

 

By the way, I see Mr-T did some Snickers ads recently. I recall seeing the one with the tank, helicopter and gatling gun. Then there was that show he hosted a few years back where he went about improving business or somesuch. He looks almost like he could still fill his old role if they wanted.

Mr T looks much the same as he did 20 years ago. You could easily stick him in for BA and he'd fit in perfect. :)

 

Well, Stephen Cannell (the original writer for the series) is slated to write the film also, so that's the good news. We need to wait and see how it will all turn out. Fingers crossed and all that. ;)

That's funny! Thanks for sharing. :)

 

Anyhow, to get back on topic a little, the X-Files is supposedly going to be made into a movie again. At least, that's what Gillian Anderson is saying. Hopefully one of these days I'll get to watch the second X-Files movie, but I heard it was a letdown. Is it any good? ;)
