Just to spark a bit of debate: I decided to go on IMDB last night to see what terrence malick was up to (seemignly another movie in the pipeline) and got reminded about SPR and TTRL as twin movies with similar release dates,looking a tthe boards,there were plenty of argument for and against each masterpiece as to which was superior. So I decided to think up some more ''twin movies'' and see what the general consensus was as to which is best. feel free to elaborate on why.just for fun :)
Saving Private Ryan or Thin red line
Deep Impact or Armageddon
Mission to mars or red planet
the prestige or the illusionist
end of days or stigmata
{Ed001's Note - I have to be honest, I am not a fan of any of those films.}

I'm not particularly a fan myself of most of them. I liked the prestige,(it all got a bit bizzarred when tesla got involved)
I usually can't sit through SPR AND TTRL.
My preferences If i was just sat watching TV would be (come on ed join in just for fun)
TTRL (I just like the narration and focus on the minds perspective)
Armageddon (the flashback scene with liv and bruce wins it)
Red Planet (The ending for mtm is comedic gold and hand victory to RP)
The prestige (the illusionists insistance on poor fx and a much stronger rivalry in prestige wins it)
Stigmata(2 absolutely awful films gabriel byrnes attempt to act out a terrible script with some crditiblity wins it)
{Ed001's Note - I would honestly turn over all of them.}

Private Ryan is typical Spielberg. Starts well sags in the middle and ends ok but with a lot of sentimentality. Its really only the beach scenes that got it the rep its got.
However despite sitting on my shelf for years I still haven't watched thin red line.
Deep impact I recall was more scientifically realistic by Hollywood standards. Still bad though. But it was dull. I cared little for the characters and considering the plot that's quite bad. Armageddon, well it over does the sentimentality. But that's the point. Your more involved. Some good laughs as well.
Never seen the next two.
Prestige I quite liked. Odd but good. Illusionist I got so bored I turned off half way through.
End of days. Its Arnie.

''Never seen the next two''
don't bother haha

Well saves me a couple of hours so thanks

By the way bit of a bugbear of mine. Why have they released Creed in America on the 25th November,and not releasing it in Europe till 15th Jan?
Did they fear coming up against Spectre in the UK market,and then mocking Jay and starwars later on?
I really don't see the point in going and paying £10+ to see a movie that's been out 2 months and released on DVD in america 1 month after its released to UK cinemas.
Over all it feel like a real kick int he teeth asking premium price for a movie that's other continental release date was 2 months ago. I know I shouldn't say this,but I'll just download a copy from YIFY,this is another reason why people turn to downloads and streams.
I remember a few occassion when DVD's were released in America before the films debut in europe,it's an idiotic move and must cost them millions in revenue.
Just makes me bitter as a movie fan,treated like a muppet
{Ed001's Note - it was released over here last month as well, I never knew it had not been released in the UK yet.}

Independence day 2 resurgence trailer has just been released. Looks like they've done to independence day what they did to starship troopers.
Not a fan of the first look.
1.) 14 Dec 2015 06:45:44
Looks terrible.
{Ed001's Note - I quite like it personally, but then I hated the original.}
11 Dec 2015 16:07:09
New x men trailer is out.
I have my reservations. Apocalypse doesn't look menacing, hopefully his character and script will make him more menacing.
Generally not a fan of nicholas hoults, beast either. I think he's a terribly wooden actor.
1.) 11 Dec 2015 16:48:00
I don't know what to think of that either. It was ok, but something is missing. I don't like that Jennifer Lawrence as an actor either, she has been damn lucky to get good parts, as she is terribly wooden as well.
2.) 11 Dec 2015 19:31:12
Well at least he resembles the comic book character in that he's kinda blue looking but that's where the similarities end. He looks like a drizzly weedy little skid mark compared to his muscle bound tyrant overlord of Earth comic book counterpart. I hope this is him before roids.
3.) 11 Dec 2015 20:32:12
I agree ed001,NOT a fan of Lawrence in the slightest as an actress. Fassbender and Macavoy do well given the rest of the cast they work with. The only other stand out actor in this at the moment whom I recognise is Olivia Munn who will be playing 1 of the 4 horsemen,I really liked her in the newsroom.
I'm really about Apocalypse just being underwhelming,something about this trailer just feels off,it's hard to describe
4.) 12 Dec 2015 06:26:09
There is something very wrong about it, I agree, though it is difficult to figure out what it is. It just somehow feels wrong. The wrong actors doesn't help for me, I don't think any of them fit the characters they are playing.
5.) 12 Dec 2015 17:36:54
To be honest I've only seen a few Jennifer Lawrence films and she wasn't that bad. But then I don't think there's that many good actresses of that age around.
{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen one that she has been 'not bad'. She always seems wooden in everything, just a pout and shout.}
6.) 12 Dec 2015 17:41:46
Definitely more looks than talent. But can say that about most of Hollywood
{Ed001's Note - she does nothing for me in terms of looks, so I probably notice her lack of talent more.}
7.) 12 Dec 2015 17:48:07
And your a boob man as well.
{Ed001's Note - it is more that she looks fake, I mean I have the hugest crush on that Felicity Jones and she has no boobs. Still, I would watch anything with her in it.}
8.) 13 Dec 2015 09:27:08
Is she one in the Stephen hawking film?
{Ed001's Note - I think so.}
9.) 13 Dec 2015 19:57:33
I couldn't stand her in hunger games,silver linings,x men,or american hustle she isn't even close to a versatile actress and she just has average looks. The only thing she stands out in is her actual interviews where she's so down to earth and likes to have a laugh personality wise she seems spot on.
{Ed001's Note - shame she can't project that personality into her acting.}
10.) 13 Dec 2015 22:03:01
Yeah she's alright ed. Flick jones I mean.
I agree regards Lawrence. She's great in interviews. Great personality. Can be wooden in films.
11.) 14 Dec 2015 06:42:26
Don't get the hate toward this apocalypse. He looks the part of apocalypse before he gains all the alien tech and seems to have a number of the main powers apocalypse has, even though in the comics he seems to be able to do anything. Feel he will be more of a psychological tormentor of xavier and co for most the film until the horsemen turn on him.
As for Jennifer Lawrence, she is meh looking, standard actor who seems to have beem luckier than deserving in her castings.
12.) 19 Dec 2015 09:21:47
Didn't lawrence only get the mystique role because romjin stavos got pregnant ? I thought she was good in silver linings but aside from that she style over substance plus having her knockers hanging out at all times hasn't hurt her career 😃
11 Dec 2015 10:12:37
With the new release of the Tarzan film as ed001 noted below I mentioned I liked the score of the trailer.
Does any one have any favourite scores from films
I really like bridge of khazad dum from the 1st LOTR film when gandalf falls with the balrog.
Inception and Time is obviously brilliant
My favourite of all time though has to be the thin red line and journey to the line when they charge the barracks it went so beautifully with the scene and really immersed you in the action
{Ed001's Note - off the top of my head, I loved Straight Out Of Compton, but that is just because I love NWA. It would have to be something like Guardians of the Galaxy, as I don't really take much notice of soundtracks generally.}
1.) 11 Dec 2015 15:16:04
Lord of the rings in general, the sound track was one of the best things.
Last of the Mohicans from the 90s.
Transformers 1986.
The original casino Royale with the soundtrack done by burt Bacharach.
Some of the music from the dark knight trilogy.
The rock
Broken arrow.
Rocky.
The kingdom.
Star trek 2 the wrath of khan.
All the star wars films.
Schindlers list.
There's another I think I'm missing but I need to check my mp3s. That's just films with soundtracks done by composers rather than just a load of cool songs put together
2.) 11 Dec 2015 17:13:19
Flash Gordon and highlander too
3.) 11 Dec 2015 19:25:53
The Devils Rejects
Desperado
Kill Bill
4.) 14 Dec 2015 06:44:54
most of the big epic ones seemed to have already been covered but true romance is probably my favourite.
5.) 19 Dec 2015 09:22:17
Cruel intentions .
04 Feb 2016 14:20:50
You don't fancy lending me some money for some ''work'' then? football-rumours-loans.co.uk. I can see it taking off typical APR 1892
{Ed001's Note - at that rate of interest I think I would consider it....}
04 Feb 2016 09:09:32
hmm.
I looked into who could play wolverine who has martial arts background and is big,there really isn't much to go off.
There's scott adkins but he's only 5'10'' (he was meant to be in origins movie but was cut out)
Maybe matt mullins . There's really not of actors going around with martial arts/fighting back ground who are big and can act sadly.
Maybe I should audition? i'm 5'11 boxed for 3 years and reached pruple belt in karate before I had to quit for school.
I got great reviews in my school nativity play as joseph when I was 7
{Ed001's Note - Wolverine is meant to be good looking though, so unfortunately that rules you out mate.}
22 Jan 2016 09:47:24
They're certainly taking it down a darker route with their directors and screenplay.
For me though I think Leto has become one of those actors who because people have said he's good in the past,it's kinda just stuck,I think every performance he's given has been forgettable,requiem for a dram,Thin Red Line,Dallas buyers club. I'm just not a fan of his.
I think he falls into the category of Hanks,Leo,washington etc that regardless of their acting people say it was a brilliant performance cus they've reached that point of having a reputation.
I hope to god I'm wrong. I still can't see why Jai Courtney was cast I can fart right now and my gas would have more charisma and presence
21 Jan 2016 12:14:40
I know every one is creaming over Leto as the Joker,but I don't like the design/makeup,of him,and I'm personally not sold on Leto as an actor.Don't even get me started on Jai Courtney.
Margot and Smith will put in their usual measured performances I'm interested to see the rest. Delevigne Common beach etc,I don't really know much about them. It looks action packed and fun though I just hope some of the actors can deliver(in a film that probably isn't so much about acting haha)
16 Jan 2016 09:03:03
Ed did you say you'd watched creed in another thread? I heard stallones performance was really good?
{Ed001's Note - no it was not showing for about an hour so I went to eat and bumped into someone I knew and ended up missing the start so didn't go and watch it.}
