Movies - General Discussion

Yeah that was a good movie however I dont think I've ever seen the beginning of that movie before..

[WingsFan]

Ha! You just watched for the limo scene

lol That was somewhat steamy for the fresh faced 'Mr Nice Guy' Kevin Costner.

Yep, no way out is awesome. One of the great twist endings too, before that became the in thing to do.

[Nick Pappageorgio]

The problemwith "twist" endings is that the foreshadowing that takes place in the movie generally gives it away. In No Way Out, it was a hide in plain sight type of thing.

while I'm thinking about it......has Gene Hackman aged in the past 30 or so years?

[Mainevent]

Exactly. Plus, they try to hype up the surprise/twist endings these days as well, which means it ends up not really being a surprise at all and you're alerted to what it could possibly be. I think the last time I saw a surprise ending was the end of Seven.

[WingsFan]

I was already tipped by the time I seen Seven, so it wasn't that much of a shocker to me. 'No Way Out' completely caught me offguard in a 'The Sixth Sense' type way.

I think the last time I seen him was in 'Runaway Jury' was a few years ago, I remember that b/c my x-MIL really liked it. But yea, he didn't look much different from the 80s.

I saw No Way Out in the theatre. That was a good flick.

Saw Inside Job, the Academy Award winning documentary about the 2008 financial crisis. It. Was. Excellent. Should be required viewing for all Americans. I laughed and shook my head so much it almost felt like a comedy.

Just read where the guy (Tim Hetherington) who made Restrepo (haven't seen it yet) was killed in Libya.

If you want a good read on the crisis, check out The Big Short by Michael Lewis, also a must read

[Nick Pappageorgio]

Just saw "Kill the Irishman"

for those of you into Gangster movies I recommend it.

Due Date was not very good.

[jaadam4]

Due Date kind of takes a page from Plane Trains and Automobiles. I thought it would be a lot better but I still thought it was funny.

Highlight Spoiler.. I loved this quote..Sonny, you will be sorely missed, you little bat-faced piece of shit!

[Passepartout]

Will try to go see "Rio" as it looks like a cute movie this weekend or next!

[romster]

Saw two Oscar contenders - The Kings Speech and Black Swan. Both were very good and worthy of their awards. Black Swan was intense. I actually covered my eyes during some of the hallucination scenes and peeked through my fingers.
