American Gangster - 4Right now I am downloading American Gangster and 30 Days of Night. Looking forward to seeing them, and I will tell what I think about them when they are done and I have watched them.
(Line probably doesnt like either movie, he seems to not like any of the movies I watch )
American Gangster - 4
30 Days of Night - 2
George A Romero's new movie? Is it out? Details please.Has anyone seen Diary of the Dead besides me yet?

It's out of 10. 30 Days of Night is one of the worst films of last year. David Slade is absolutely talentless.Is this out of 5? And I hear from Flex and others that 30 Days of Night is good...
You have to understand the critical community a bit better to understand why it got the reviews it did for how bad of a film it was. When these type of projects are announced the backing behind them from the film community is extensive and unyielding. Such films are actually thought of as contenders for major awards before anyone has even seen them and thus critics, for fear of being wrong, comply. Critics, in a way, are not really speaking their mind but rather commenting on minor technical aspects of a film through a filter based upon their publishers' overlying bravado. As any "opinion" journalist, they're on staff not for their knowledge but because people like to read them and they are rarely progressive in their criticism of film.Braaq said:American Gangster has gotten nothing but amazing reviews so far, it just finished dl.. gonna watch it and rate it myself
Thanks, big guy. My schedule as of now is actually permissive of me doing write ups so this along with what I had mentioned at the start of the post will probably cause this thread to start moving a bit quicker.Don't hijack Line's thread though
Line, I've thoroughly enjoyed this thread; I've been on IMDB more in the past few days than I ever have before in my life. Thank you for motivating me to expand my film education, and thank you for all the work you've put into this
I would say add write-ups if you have the time for it. I know how crappy your schedule can be, and it'd be easy to stretch yourself pretty thin with an addition like that.
Eh, it doesn't really have much to do with my not liking Scott as much as it wasn't a good film. It's weird, he's made some very good films over the years but he seems to receive more praise for the meandering garbage he puts out instead. He was a very relevant director at one time but now he's just rehashing Hollywood idioms that weren't any good to begin with.Paulie said:Hi-Jack nation up in here.
Line doesn't like Ridley Scott, that's probably why he did not enjoy American Gangster.
Can't wait for the other write ups and more additions to the list.
Indeed.Skeptic said:30 days of night = epic failure.
