I could honestly say I would prefer to watch a Michael Bay film to a Tony Scott film. Seriously. True Romance was awesome, but that consistent over-lit style of photography coupled with his incessant, frenetic editing at the expense of his screenplay and characters he's been pursuing since the late nineties do my head…

Up.

Alien? Aliens? And with no connection whatsoever: Pathfinder!

mbs I love In the Company of Men and Your Friends and Neighbours as much as the next guy, but La Bute bulldozed all credibility he had built up with Wicker Man (and salted the earth so it could never find purchase again with that Sam Jackson racist cop movie…).

Spot on!

Martin Donovan should be in more films. dammit! Hell, so should Robert John Burke (other than ill-advised Robocop sequels).

I still have Trust and Simple Men on VHS and pop them in occasionally. I'm still more moved by those films than anything Wes Anderson has ever made (and not to be hatin' there, I do like Anderson!!).
I'm amazed there's been no DVD release though. Maybe there's some copyright issues??

I would recommend to anyone to sit down and watch Hartleys' Long Island Trilogy (The Unbelievable Truth/Trust/Simple Men) in one long marathon. The style he possesses, as Tobias mentioned, does wear a bit in his later films but those three are just magic…

I'm so angry at this I almost refused to post and vent my anger…

Who knows what surprises the director of Van Helsing has in store for us???

Which makes the films suckitude all the more despairing…

Freddy Vs Jason has a shelf life of exactly one viewing, but that viewing was pretty entertaining.

Yeah all the so-called "faults" with the movie I've gleaned from reviews have actually made me want to see it, when the trailer did anything but….

Since when was Aliens Vs Predator an "entertaining pop-culture fight"???
Everything about that movie was a fucking ordeal…

@mbs - Burke wasn't a bomb throwing football player; his father was a bomb throwing baseball player who Burke and his brother go looking for.

There is no such thing love and adventure, there is only trouble and desire…

My heart broke ever so slightly when I found out Bruce Campbell was not playing Darkman in the sequel, despite the end of the original hinting otherwise…

Now THAT was a movie that should have been ten times more fun than it actually was. I mean, Dragons V Helicopters? Come on!!

Spanglish is a movie that feels like it had the guts cut out of it by studio hackery, because if it didn't then it takes "slight" to a whole new level…

Given the talent involved…
… I'm amazed they fucked up as hard as they did. Shame.
