Saw GI JOE Retaliation i liked it however

That guy Flynt was the most USELESS character ive ever seen in a movie he did NOTHING but complain. He didnt seem tough at all, all he did was whine. I dont even see hom making it in a Jrotc let alone the GIJOE force

Adrianne palicki was lookin nice

Watched POTC At Worlds End and when they went over the waterfall at night to get to joness locker i recognized the music. The music from that scene was sampled in Jr writers song "Major" from writers block vol 5

 

[lawdog1]

Best Kiera Knightley has ever looked is in POTC Curse of the Black Pearl. She is hot in that movie.

 

[CP1708]

She was very good lookin in that movie, with the accent to boot. Loved her back then, but she rarely looks like that after that movie.

Agree. She peaked way early.

Very hot, this is when I couldn't really tell her apart from Natalie Portman. Lately she's seemed a bit too skinny. Still smash though.

You just go by what everyone else is saying...







... and say the complete opposite.

Real talk, my man. Been noticed this about you. Years ago.

general opinion: "______ is overrated."
you: "I don't know just give it a shot."

general opinion: "______ is FIRE!"
you:" EXTRA wack. You're all sheep."

No hate. Just saying, it's definitely your persona.

not true i am damn sure not the only one who enjoyed hangover 3 and think jennifer lawrence looks below average...

 

[darthska]

Exactly.

general opinion: "Hangover 3 is overrated."
you: "I don't know just give it a shot."

general opinion: "Jennifer Lawrence is FIRE!"
you:" EXTRA wack. You're all sheep."



And of course you're not the only one with those opinions, but general opinion means 'majority of people', which means that there are obviously a minority who don't agree with that general opinion. And I've noticed that on a lot of things, you're in the minority of people trying to buck the trend and swim against the flow, almost like you take pride in it. In sports, too.

Not trying to rustle jimmies. Just ****ing w/ you.

 

[JCMojica24]

Watched The Campaign last night and wasn't very impressed. I felt they tried too hard to be raunchy and it ruined the whole movie.

 

[hypebeast21]

[johnnyredstorm]

I wanna see Cera act a fool in it.

Shameless news. Kind of a spoiler, so I'll just throw it in there.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Steve is no more
Fiona Gallagher has apparently seen the last of Jimmy on Showtime's Shameless.

Justin Chatwin, who played the love interest to Emmy Rossum's Fiona will not return to the Showtime drama, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Producer John Wells made the announcement at a TV Academy Emmy panel for the series on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

A Showtime rep confirms that Chatwin's days as a series regular have come to an end but that the actor could return for one or two episodes in season four.

The actor played the conman forced to turn straight for three seasons -- one season more than the U.K. series on which the Showtime adaptation is based. (James McAvoy played Steve in the original series.)

The actor played the conman forced to turn straight for three seasons -- one season more than the U.K. series on which the Showtime adaptation is based. (James McAvoy played Steve in the original series.)

During the recently wrapped third season, Chatwin's Jimmy spent the season navigating his secret marriage to the daughter of a drug kingpin (so she could remain in the U.S.) and a domesticated life with Fiona.

When the drug dealer's daughter is deported after she can't reach Jimmy to continue the guise of their marriage of convenience, Jimmy is last seen on a boat with a thug, who later returns to hand Fiona an envelope stuffed with cash. His death was presumed and not depicted on the series. (The character in the past had a penchant for disappearing when the pressure got to be too much but would always find his way back to Fiona.)

Showtime renewed Shameless -- and the rest of its Sunday night lineup -- in January. The drama was up year-over-year in its third season, prompting the renewal after three airings.

Chatwin is repped by UTA, Alchemy Entertainment and Sloane Offer.

UPDATED: The actor had played the on-again, off-again love interest to Emmy Rossum's Fiona for three seasons and could return for one or two episodes.

Bobby Cannavale Joins Martin Scorsese's HBO Rock ‘N’ Roll Series

When Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger collaborated on the Rolling Stones documentary “Shine A Light,” they conceived an idea for a “Casino”-like movie set in the music biz of the 1970s. That was in 2010. Then in 2011 Scorsese and Jagger took the idea to HBO and brought on “Boardwalk Empire” writer Terence Winter to help develop the idea. Two years later and it finally looks like the project is ready to move forward with a lead actor.

Deadline is reporting that Scorsese and Winter are looking to their “Boardwalk Empire” star Bobby Cannavale (aka Gyp Rosetti) to headline the untitled music biz drama. Cannavale will play Richie, “a cocaine-fueled record exec in NYC circa 1977, when punk, disco and a new form of music called hip-hop collided. Richie is a talented A&R guy who is elevated to run a big label, even though he thinks he’s better suited to focusing on day-to-day music matters.”

Jagger, Scorsese and Winter will serve as executive producers on the series, with Scorsese to direct the pilot in early 2014 before lensing "Silence." Since Winter is still heavily involved in “Boardwalk Empire”, they’ll soon be looking for a team of writers to work on the new show. Scorsese is currently working on post-production for “The Wolf of Wall Street” which will hit theaters on November 15th.

Sony has bought English-language remake rights for Jacques Audiard’s 2010 Oscar-nominated French hit, “A Prophet,” with Neal Moritz and Toby Jaffe producing.

They should just leave the original alone...

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Movie was ok, but the fight scenes in Bodyguards and Assassins were . You can't get any better then Donnie Yen & Cung Le...

I think I was the only one mad when Channing Tatum won that fight in Fighting...

 

[jpzx]

Anyone seen Now You See Me?

Going to see it tonight with the girl. Don't know what to expect... Zuckerberg talking down to cops instead of lawyers, Woody being Woody, getting to look at the stunning girl who played Vince Vaughn's girlfriend in Wedding Crashers, maybe one or two cool moments.

But a less-than-average movie when it's concluded.

 

[duba169]

I wanted to want t see now you seen me. But it looks terrible.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

SNL's Jay Pharoh stopped by Sway's radio show to talk & do some impressions... His Weezy is hilarious....

 

[IATT]

6 Things Will Smith Can Learn From Tom Cruise Following the Failure of After Earth
By Kyle Buchanan

Imagine, if you will, a 44-year-old A-list actor in trouble. Once labeled the only sure-thing superstar in Hollywood, he's been hobbled by an underperforming summer movie, and the knives are starting to come out. It seems our A-lister has an image problem: He's become more famous for his personal life than for his work, and as audiences speculate about his marriage, his famous child, and his ties to Scientology, his box-office appeal has started to wane. Can he turn things around?

Yes, we're talking about Will Smith, whose career took a hit this week after his father-son tentpole After Earth bombed at the box office, but we might as well be describing Smith's superstar buddy Tom Cruise, who hit a similar rough patch when he was 44, back in 2006. That was the year that Cruise couldn't stop touting Katie and Suri instead of the movie he was supposed to be selling — the lackluster Mission: Impossible III — which prompted Sumner Redstone to sever Cruise's production deal with Paramount. It hasn't entirely been smooth sailing since then for Cruise, but through a series of comeback moves, he's at least righted his ship. Here's what Smith can learn from what Cruise has done right — and wrong — since suffering that midlife-career crisis.

Surprise audiences with a comedy.
Can you guess what was the biggest romantic comedy of the last ten years? It's Hitch, the Will Smith–Eva Mendes vehicle that made a whopping $179 million back in 2005. And yet, Smith hasn't made a straight-up comedy since that megahit, unless you're willing to count last year's sci-fi sequel Men in Black 3, which also happened to top out at $179 million (but cost way more than Hitch, obviously). Why is one of our most naturally charismatic stars determined to hide his light under a bushel by starring in drab dramas like After Earth and Seven Pounds? Smith would be well-advised to take a cue from Cruise, who rebounded from his mid-aughts image imbroglio with an unexpected comic comeback in 2008's Tropic Thunder. Make an audience laugh, and they'll forgive you almost anything.

Ease up on the family stuff.
Here's a lesson Tom Cruise learned the hard way: When you push your child into the spotlight, you're not doing the kid — or your own reputation — any favors. Stage parenting is not a good look, and Smith seems to desire fame for his children more than they do for themselves. In his recent cover-story interview for New York, Smith is asked whether he would have ever allowed Jaden to become a dentist, and he replies, "It may seem like we have pushed our kids into the business, but that is absolutely insane ... It’s less scary to me than if he wanted to be a dentist in that I couldn’t help with what he’d chosen."* It's pertinent to note that 14-year-olds can't actually be dentists, though they can become movie stars, if certain people have been putting them in movies since they were in grade school. In fact, most 14-year-olds don't have careers at all, and that's actually kind of fine! Maybe Smith should listen more to his own daughter, Willow, who turned down his offer to star in a remake of Annie with the simple reply, "Daddy, I got a better idea. How about I just be 12?"

Work with major auteurs.
Say what you will about Tom Cruise, but over the course of his career, the man has had an unerring knack for working with high-class helmers: Scorsese! Kubrick! Spielberg! Crowe! Stone! Will Smith has worked with a lot of big action-movie veterans like Michael Bay, but he's conspicuously avoided projects made by A-list auteurs, save for his 2001 performance in Michael Mann's Ali. Recently, Smith took a lot of heat for turning down Quentin Tarantino's entreaties to star in Django Unchained, and while we actually do understand his reluctance on some level (did you come out of that movie buzzing about Jamie Foxx's mostly passive character, or were you instead raving about Christoph Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio?), Smith clearly needs to be making more movies with the Tarantinos of the world and fewer with the Shyamalans and the Sonnenfelds.

Stop meddling with scripts.
Then again, if Smith truly wants some sort of exciting, career-reinventing role from Quentin Tarantino or David O. Russell or Christopher Nolan, he needs to be willing to submit to those helmers' exacting visions ... and recently, it seems that Smith prefers directors whom he can steamroll. The production of Men in Black 3 famously fell apart when Smith insisted on mid-movie script changes from his own personal writer, and Smith also gets a prominent "story by" title card in the credits for After Earth, which isn't exactly going to sweep the WGA awards. If Smith fancies himself a filmmaker, that's one thing — he'd hardly be the first actor to move behind the camera — but real auteurs aren't going to let him rewrite their movies. Instead of always tailoring scripts to read the way he wants them to, Smith would do well to emulate Cruise, who's done his best work in the service of visionary directors who push the A-lister out of his comfort zone.

Work consistently.
What was Will Smith thinking when he took a four-year sabbatical from the big screen after the 2008 dud Seven Pounds? Ostensibly, he spent that time working as a hands-on producer for Jaden's remake of The Karate Kid, but four years is an eternity to spend away from the movies. When you take that much time off — as problematic performers like Mike Myers and Chris Tucker have in the past — it invites the sort of skepticism that can be hard to recover from. More to the point, audiences are fickle: If they haven't seen you in something lately, it becomes harder to convince them that they should see you at all. Cruise knows as much as any A-lister that consistency is the name of the game, and he's starred in a movie nearly every year since he first began working in Hollywood. It makes it easier to recover from the flops, after all, if there's a potential comeback vehicle coming down the pike next year.

Lighten up.
Will Smith, you're supposed to be fun! Why, then, have you recently come across as a numbers-obsessed autodidact who's willing to watch hours of TED Talks back-to-back and can't stop talking about patterns? We didn't like it when Tom Cruise spouted off about psychiatry and postpartum depression, and we don't love it now, either. It's no surprise that the best-received thing Will Smith has done all year is his utterly delightful Fresh Prince reunion on British television: As we watched Smith perform the classic Fresh Prince theme song — with D.J. Jazzy Jeff and a dancing Carlton in attendance! — we caught a glimpse of the charming star he used to be, and can hopefully be again.

[servechilled81]

gonna watch this tonight:

Amber Heard 

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I have no doubt Will will bounce back. That movie was garbage though.

 

[duba169]

soo i watched "2001: a space odyssy" last night for the first time all the way through.. saw bits and pieces, but never the whole thing..



ummmmmmmmmm.. i didnt get it.. or if i did, it was just weird to me

it's one of the most subjective movies made. Without reading the book it's difficult to grasp on the first viewing.


The 16 minute mark to 21:30 is a perfect explanation of what happened. No analysis or breaking it down. Just explains what you watched. Then he starts talking about viewing the movie as a myth, as the human race going on an Odyssey...

i have watched it half a dozen or so times. you find something new each one




it also seems to be one of those movies that seems to mean different things as you age. that's just my opinion. It's prob my favorite movie made though so i can be biased about this film

 

[Hahahaha]

Now You See Me was good, I enjoyed it.


I love Amber Heard

 

[venom lyrix]

They should just leave the original alone...

read about the Prophet remake this morning, stupid.

Leave it alone, great film.

 

[venom lyrix]

Anyone seen Now You See Me?

Going to see it tonight with the girl. Don't know what to expect... Zuckerberg talking down to cops instead of lawyers, Woody being Woody, getting to look at the stunning girl who played Vince Vaughn's girlfriend in Wedding Crashers, maybe one or two cool moments.

But a less-than-average movie when it's concluded.

saw it last week, enjoyed the film until the end which ruined it for me. Hated the way they brought it to a close. The magic aspect and story was good though

 

[big j 33]

Syrup will fall under the category of "Don't even care if it's good, I like the lead actress so it's a must watch"
