I watched Red Dawn last night
It is an aces film.

What good films have you watched or rewatched recently?
(I helped save b3ta! Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 11:43, archived)
One with your mum and some Turks in it.

(I helped save b3ta! Bud Muhnquai Update your profile or fuck off, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 11:44, archived)
I watch it a lot.

(I helped save b3ta! Bud Muhnquai Update your profile or fuck off, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 11:44, archived)
The one where his mum opens a drama school in Turkey
and how they become the best performers in six months of training, montages, and high-fiveing?

I'm incredibly disappointed that you took me off ignore.

(I helped save b3ta! Bud Muhnquai Update your profile or fuck off, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 11:49, archived)
Putting people on ignore means you're taking the internet too seriously.
Plus you don't see entire threads, sometimes.

It's a good story, well executed.
I've only seen it a couple of times and I wouldn't mind seeing it again, but I get what Bud's saying here. It just doesn't have the same raw entertainment factor of technically much worse films like Raiders of the Lost Ark or Ghostbusters. I could watch those every year.

Brazil is silly. The first time I saw it I thought it was really good. The second time I saw it, I sat cringing throughout it.

It has a certain BBC productions look to it,
and yes, it is a bit silly. Well that's Terry Gilliam for you, Monty Python's darker side. I was torn between that and Twelve Monkeys, which is certainly more professionally produced but lacks the quirky visualisation element that I quite enjoy.

I thought No Country for Old Men was an excellent story. I was particularly taken by the unexpected plot twist towards the end. It made a refreshing change from following the formula that most films of that nature follow.

To the majority of the audience it's all European
Or at least non-American, so it makes little difference.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 12:18, archived)
either English or German/Austrian

he looked and sounded more mediterranean to me
but I don't think he's supposed to be from anywhere

edit: oh right, you're talking about generic hollywood baddies

I haven't seen it,
I'm just commenting on the general trend of Hollywood bad guys.
Russians as well, obviously.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 12:31, archived)
My guess would be that he's supposed to be Mexican
However I don't remember his nationality ever being explicitly stated in the film.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 12:32, archived)
yeah you do get a few Hispanic bad guys as well,
usually with enormous Spanish villa style mansions, featuring a swimming pool and drugged up prostitutes.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 12:38, archived)
The plot of the film basically involves a drug deal gone terribly wrong
It was organised by Mexican gangsters, a lot of the action takes place in Mexico and the character is definitely not American. The actor is Spanish too, so that's what I'm basing my guess on.

A bog standard Hollywood ending
Would have seen it with the same ending as Jackie Brown. As for stories lacking much substance, all I have to say is this.

Well, I'm sure a man of your influence can convince all the people that thought it was worthy of an Oscar to reconsider.

Once were warriors
I decided my life was going too well and I needed to be more fucking depressed.

Hannibal
I do like Lecter, I do.

That and Contact because I adore Jodie Foster and nerdy scifi.

Contact was an odd one

I liked Contact.

I re-watched Ghost Dog t'other day.
It wasn't quite as good as I remembered it, which made me do a sad.

I've watched lots of samurai films recently, for "research". Most of them have been fairly decent.

Walk the line.
Thought it would be shit but I quite enjoyed it.

'Broken Flowers', 'This is Spinal Tap'
and 'You and me and everyone we know'.

Oh, and hellboy (not rewatched).

Hellboy 2 was ok
If you just saw a few stills of it. Because then you could think "ooh that's pretty" and not have to waste your time watching the shit.
(I helped save b3ta! Stoopiduk is the waterboatman., Wed 27 Aug 2008, 12:01, archived)
I dare say I will watch it, as as you say, I'm sure it will be aesthetically pleasing.
I'm not expecting much from the dialogue/plot.
(I helped save b3ta! RR I love you ... in a way, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 12:04, archived)
Then you are set.
Might I suggest using the mute button.

I quite enjoyed Hellboy2
visually very appealing, even if it was a touch simplistic in it's plot mechanisims

I really enjoyed this practically-unheard-off film.

It's called London and is set in New York?
NONSENSE.
(I helped save b3ta! Bud Muhnquai Update your profile or fuck off, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 12:11, archived)
Because the film is set around Jason Statham in a toilet?
