I always thought they had more of a "bromance", but I'm fine with it either way. I love Hot Fuzz so much.Hot Fuzz
Still love this film, great comedy, great mystery but one minor qualm...anyone else think they should've gone whole-hog with the Danny/Angel possibly romantic sub-text? I say minor as I still love the movie either way, but it IS there.
I think we all know which one he cared about more.and oscar winner gwyneth paltrow
No not like that, the mother scene.probably whichever grossest part is the grossest to him
oh, yeah, all posh white british oscar-winning women look alikeDon't we mean Cate Blanchett? (Or did I forget the joke you're talking about?)
But Gwyneth is American.(Unless ahe changed citizenship when she married her ex.)oh, yeah, all posh white british oscar-winning women look alike
Oh what DO you know Charlie?! WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!i don't know shit about celebrities, i guess
This movie was great! Oh man I should watch it again.Attack The Block
Odd low budget British sci-fi, about a group of juvenile delinquents in a council housing tower block vs alien monsters. John Boyega (Finn from Force Awakens) is the lead character "Moses", and his star potential shines through. It's funny, gory, tense, and while the creatures are obviously fairly low budget they do pretty well, and manage to get a surprising amount of screen time. The British slang adds to the appeal.
It had some good bits, I thought, but it pulls the same major error as the most recent Amityville in giving the spirit too much screen time as a visible menace, if that makes sense.Poltergeist 2015
Ug.
Excellent movie! And surprise Nick Frost.Attack The Block

The pacing was horribly off and unlike the original I didn't care about the family and was surprised they were not connected to the housing development at all. The writers and director made changes to the story such that the whole graveyard angle was meaningless and rather than being targeted because of the father's involvement selling the houses that were built in the development, the family was just randomly being haunted. If you are going to change a story you need to understand why the things you excised were in it in the first place and these guys clearly did not.It had some good bits, I thought, but it pulls the same major error as the most recent Amityville in giving the spirit too much screen time as a visible menace, if that makes sense.
... which one is meant to be the high end of this scale?On a scale of Super Mario Brother to Mortal Kombat
As far as video game movie adaptations go, I'd say that's very clear.... which one is meant to be the high end of this scale?
RE 1 is a perfectly servicable horror movie. Nothing spectacular, but it's certainly watchable. The movies only got worse the more they tried to introduce elements of the game into them, imo.Some of the CGI movies are fine (Regeneration is fun, but Degeneration is awful).I mean, it's a really low bar but MK is probably the best movie adaptation to a video game. The story gets told with just enough references to the game to be fun but not get in the way. other strong contenders might be either Silent Hill or whatever the most watchable Resident Evil movie is, for being an ok horror movie on its own with the name of a video game attached.
THE DAY YOU WATCHED STREET FIGHTER FEATURING RAUL JULIA WAS THE GREATEST DAY OF YOUR LIFESurely there are better video game movies than Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil!

... well crap, that's a big list of stinkers there. I mean, if I had to pick some favorites I guess I'd go for Advent Children and Street Fighter, but objectively speaking I can't really say they're good movies.
Here's hoping Assassin's Creed and Tomb Raider won't suck.
Judging by the trailers, they're going to mess up the movie by having a completely inappropriate soundtrack.Assassins Creed feels like it would be hard to mess up but I mean, who the hell knows. Like, what's going to mess it up is all of the 2012/aliens (or whatever) stuff because even in the games that doesn't make a lot of sense and I'm not sure if they ever wrapped that up or what.
Just keep it simple. Give me Magneto doing flips n' shit with wrist blades, keep the weird stuff to a minimal and we should be fine.
Yeah.As far as video game movie adaptations go, I'd say that's very clear.
From everything I've read, they are going to fuck it up by really focusing on the "it's a simulation, not the actual events" angle that the games use. It's going to COMPLETELY kill the tension.Judging by the trailers, they're going to mess up the movie by having a completely inappropriate soundtrack.
