I did not even realize that Mars Attacks! was a product of Tim Burton. How disappointing. I always thought that Tim was a decent man.

I think the movie being astronomically bad was the point, BC.
It was a 'tip of the hat' to Ed Wood Jr.

And don't even act like Burton hasn't done other pieces of crap (Planet of the Apes). [addsig]

Instead of working on my comp map, I saw four movies today.

COLLATERAL: Pretty good. Fox, Cruise, and Smith all did excellent jobs in their roles, and the movie had no dull moments. There are some really tense and cool sequences, especially near the end.

THE TRANSPORTER: A stupid and pointless story backed up by stupid and pointless action. Much of it makes little sense and isn't all that cool. The oil fight was one of the most retarded things I've seen in a while.

BLADE II: This was more entertaining than I remember, but just like the first one it began to fall apart near the end. The beginning is cool, the middle is cool, but the end just becomes dumb. The love interest added an interesting angle, but she was wasted given the outcome. This movie is a shining example of a wasted opportunity to make something great, just like the original.

RESERVOIR DOGS: Pretty cool. It's interesting, moving, funny, gruesome, saddening, and certainly worth watching.

I quite enjoyed the Transporter, but perhaps it was just because it had Shu Qi in it, who used to be a Chinese soft porn star I actually bought the DVD, but then it was in a deal. [addsig]

I watched Freddy Vs. Jason last night. It was awful. I have nothing more to say on the matter. I'm going to continue living pretending that I didn't voluntarily subject myself to that crapfest. [addsig]

True, just like friday the 13th part 5, it had no plot

Collateral was bad ass. I love you, Michael Mann (go watch Heat before I kill you all) [addsig]

Cool.

Its the one movie that you CAN'T say Val Kilmer is a pansy in ... unless by pansy you mean lunatic. (That also goes for Tombstone and Ghost And The Darkness) [addsig]

I think Val Kilmer looks so damn cool when he is covering Robert Deniro while he gets paid for a job, very stylish shooting [addsig]

That reminds me of another film, "Ronin", which was pretty damn cool. Robert De Niro, Sean Bean, and Jean Reno, all in the same movie. Such class. [addsig]

I really enjoyed Ronin as well, but our feelings aren't agreed with by a few of our forum members.

I thought Ronin was at best ordinary. It was spoiled for me when De Niro was allowed to get away with pronouncing Hereford "Heerford" when denouncing Sean Bean.Any self-respecting Englishman would have booted him in the nuts and told him to f**k off.

That apart, De Niro was, as always, brilliant.

Ronin rocks. nuff said. The only problem I have is deciding which car chase I like the best...
