FlaSoxxJim Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 07:28 AM) If you think about it, its kind of surprising that Hollywood didnt go after Oz earlier than this. There was the one(bad) sequel, the books and theatre production of Wicked, and thats it. Given the characters in Oz and the fantastic dreamworld that Oz is, its interesting that it hasnt been tried before. Some of the television adaptations have been pretty bad, but on the whole I agree. And I thought the Wicked novel was brilliant, though McGuire (sp?) sort of kept going back to the same well after that with the Ugly Stepsisters, Son of a Witch, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storyline was great, and the acting was well, broadway-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 03:43 AM) It's just the whole "I lost the love of my life and now I am broken" has been done so many times that i am not that interested to be honest. If its a short film, I would probably check it out though. okay, my internet isnt good enough to see the trailer. BUt yeah, i saw an awesome short film called the tin man last year that i really loved. edit: okay saw it. It appears its the same movie...um, but i think he remade the short film i saw last year? i need to do some research, this looked a lot shinier.

I agree, thats why I thought if they could have found a way to somehow twist it back the other way in the very end it would have been great.

I haven't even see it yet and I'm pretty sure I know how it is going to end, I hate movies that show too much in the previews. Greenzone for example, Matt Damon is searching for someone and the stupid previews shows who it is, do they not understand we like a little suspense?

Milkman delivers Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I recently watched Inherit The Wind. I'm really getting into these older movies, and I'd have to say that Spencer Tracy is my favorite non-current actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even say that they showed too much in the previews for Shutter Island, you could just literally see the preview and conclude for yourself the probable ending.. it was just predictable But I agree with you that they do show way too much in the previews, like Quarantine where the ending for the movie was EXACTLY the same as the cut for the trailer..

Quarantine had to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen, ended when it was starting to get good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it was that bad but then again I had zero expectations like every other horror film. And I never saw any trailers for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Alice in Wonderland was very cool, I took my daughter and neices and saw it in Imax 3d. At this moment though, all I can think about was how badass the trailer for Tron Legacy was. I can not wait for that movie Edited March 7, 2010 by KyYlE23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
