Hahahaha I watched Pulp Fiction last night, I've had it sitting in my room for a day or two, what an awesome movie!

It's cool the way a bunch of seemingly unconnected stories (except Travolta is everywhere) the way they all come together at the end.

And then he blows the guys head up in the back seat. Hhah

Still puzzled as to what was in the briefcase though... [addsig]

Well I like Jet Li films (even crap like "Cradle 2 the Grave" was entertaining), and I like Luc Besson films, so chances are I'll enjoy that too. Trailer looked pretty cool, I'll be looking out for this

Does anyone know what the name of this is called;

It's old, and it has some guy going through customs at an airport, and he is chinese (or pretending to be chinese) and he is trying to explain that the thing he has is a 3000 year old egg.

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? My dad keeps talking about how funny it is but nobody knows what he's talking about. [addsig]

Just saw ong-bak. Quite enjoyable. Reminds me of Jackie Chan movies back when he was at the top of his game - very well choreographed and executed fights, chase scenes, and stunts, but yet the martial art style is quite different.

<spoilers>I laughed out loud several times when Tony Jaa did seemingly impossible things like escape a mob by running on their heads, or jump through a tiny loop of barbed wire. And the first fight in the boxing ring... awesome. [addsig]

Argh, please tell me you mean the original French movie by Luc Besson as opposed to the American rip-off?

If any of you want to see a crappy movie, I highly recommend the Perfect Score. It is an utter abomination of a film; one of the most misconstrued interpretations of the word "movie" that I've ever seen.

And that "new" Taxi looks horrible, judging from the casting and the trailer. But I'll reserve judgement until I actually see it, if ever. :

I really want to see Ong-Bak. I haven't seen a good action oriented film in a long time. However, it isn't playing anywhere NEAR where I live (25 mile radius). [addsig]

why do i get the feeling that you people are basing the movie, because it shared the name "Taxi"

as far as i can tell, its only the name that similar. this one is a comedy, where the rest do not seem to be. in fact there appearers to be no less than 3 movies released over the years that share this title.

perhaps its only my weird humor, but i laughed myself silly the whole movie through. won't be the first time i am on the wrong side of a discussion

Anyone seen "Robots"? Its the next big computer animation film. Check out the media tab on windows media player and it'll show you whats coming. Also "Batman Begins" - the prequal to Batman, is coming out soon. Looks very Kung Fu like. Also stars Val Kilmir or however you spell his name as Batman again (he was Batman in Batman 2 - the one with the Penguin). [addsig]

Myrk, its Christian Bale (American Psycho) as Batman isn't it? I'm sure I heard that somewhere anyway.

Orph, it shares a whole lot more than just the title with Taxi, I can tell you. The Taxi series was originally the first in a series of French comedy/action films, featuring a crappy cop who kept screwing up and couldn't drive, and a taxi driver with an incredibly souped up 406 and a penchant for speeding. The American version, judging by the trailer, takes everything and twists it horribly. The Mercedes gang was never a crew of bikini models or whatever for example!

Yeah, Christian Bale (Bale-American Psycho + Bale-Equilibrium = Bruce Wayne). Val Kilmer was in Batman 3 (the first bad one) Michael Keaton was in the first two (the second one being the best so far ... but soon to change).

I'm looking forward to Batman Begins ... oh man. It'll rock. I already know by who is working on it cast and crew. [addsig]

i guess its a simple case of not being tainted by an earlier version. i am not saying the other were bad by any definition, but since i have only seen this one, i loved it.

tastes vary to be sure, but also its the origin of the watching member as well. i heard endless crying about how the movie the patriot ruined the concept of the legend. i heard endless crying about how U541 (or whatever its numerical designation was) was ruined. i heard endless crying about how pearl was ruined. well guess what? it wasn't ruined for this viewer. i loved all those flicks.

on the other hand, i hear people (mostly young) talking about this new song they heard, and how great it is, only to find out its a butchered version of some 80's classic.

so its only a matter of what you see, or hear first in most cases that defines "greatness"

I think most of the ranting over U571 was how it told the story of an American sub crew capturing an Enigma machine - when it was actually a British crew in the real situation.

Pretty low of Hollywood to doctor a story and change historical fact to suit an audience, to be honest.

The same as the god piss awful butchering of "Ring" (Japanese version) into screaming blondes and all action horror flick. Completely ruined the whole idea of the movie. [addsig]
