Steve9347 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 08:54 AM) The Avengers is a constantly changing set of characters, adding Spiderman to one of the movies would be pretty awesome. It isnt needed, per se, but it would be a lot of fun Same with Wolverine - but OH PLEASE FIND SOMEONE NEW OTHER THAN HUGH JACKMAN - even if he does nail it on the head, the character has been too bastardized with him as the poster boy.

If this next X Men movie knocks it out of the park, I think Jackman will be wolverine until he says he isnt. If it sucks(which, im kind of getting a bad feeling about after seeing some trailers), I think they may reboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 While it was far from one my favorites in terms of entertainment, Frozen was an impressive production. It was more of a Broadway production than it was a Disney movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started over with First Class, they didnt need to make it one continuous storyline. Also, seeing some of the scenes from the dystopian future in the trailers.....ehhhhh. I thought Bryan Singer would be better than "overcast world with lightning all over and everyone looking worried". But, I saw Jack the Giant Killer, so I know Singer has the capability of BAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 09:59 AM) There could also be an overload of too many big names. I would rather they keep the big names they have and add lesser known characters around them. Like Black Widow and Hawkeye. The next movie is going to have Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Well, by the time Avengers 6 or 7 rolls around I'm sure there will be a whole new roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Im really not a fan of both X Men and Avengers going up against Apocalypse in seperate movies, if that is what that tweet means.

I've never read the comics, just watched the old tv shows and played the video games. Are Apocalypse and Thanos related somehow? Why does this mean the Avengers will also be going up against him?

Rumor is Spidey vs Sinister 6 culminating into the Venom/Carnage storyline.

caulfield12 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Two top 10 movies of 2013 lists from Entertainment Weekly.com 10. Inside Llewelyn Davis 9. Prisoners 8. World War Z 7. The Past 6. Blue Jasmine 5. Gravity 4. Fruitvale Station 3. Before Midnight 2. American Hustle 1. 12 Years a Slave That was from Owen Gleiberman, their #1 critic. 10. The Conjuring 9. All is Lost 8. Out of the Furnace 7. Deceptive Practices: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay 6. Enough Said 5. Captain Phillips 4. Fruitvale Station 3. 12 Years a Slave 2. Gravity 1. Before Midnight I think it's pretty safe to say that Fruitvale Station, 12 Years a Slave and Gravity will be the Top 3 Oscar contenders. Before Midnight, Captain Phillips, American Hustle (haven't seen it yet) and All is Lost would be my second tier list for the Best Film. FWIW, I really liked Rush and Prisoners a lot. Not sold on Before Midnight, compared to the previous two films in that trilogy, but it's definitely the darkest and some would say most realistic movie of the bunch. It's a little bit like "This is 40" for the Academy crowd. Edited December 8, 2013 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see 12 Years a Slave and Blue Jasmine and American Hustle and maybe Out of the Furnace. The Los Angeles Film Critics Association named ties in three major categories Sunday. Gravity tied with Her for Best Picture, James Franco and Jared Leto tied for Best Supporting Actor for their performances in Spring Breakers and Dallas Buyers Club, and Cate Blanchett and Adèle Exarchopoulos tied for Best Actress for their work in Blue Jasmine and Blue is the Warmest Color. Related American Hustle' wins best picture from New York Film Critics Circle 'Her' named Best Film by National Board of Review The LAFCA did choose distinct winners in the other major acting categories. Bruce Dern was named Best Actor for his portrayal of Woody Grant in Nebraska, and Lupita Nyong’o picked up a supporting actress win for playing the tragic Patsey in 12 Years a Slave. Gravity was the big winner beyond its Best Picture tie with Spike Jonze’s Her, walking away with nods for Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography. Also of note, Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell — recently selected as one of the 15 docs on the Academy’s shortlist — won Best Documentary. Noticeably absent from any recognition was David O. Russell’s American Hustle, which the New York Film Critics Circle named Best Picture; Sundance favorite and recent Gotham Awards-winner Fruitvale Station; and the Robert Redford survival pic All Is Lost. www.ew.com Out of the Furnace has the Crazy Heart director, and the Bale/Affleck/Harrelson (especially with Hunger Games) brand names going for it, but just didn't take off this weekend at all. Frozen and Hunger Games are still dominating all the conversation. It was supposed to make at least $9 million this weekend and it might end up closer to $5, which is a pretty woeful start. rottentomatoes score around the 50% mark. Also want to see another "BLUE" movie, haha....Blue is the Warmest Color. Not just for NC-17 lesbian scenes with Leah Seydoux...of course.

Steve9347 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 We saw Out of the Furnace over the weekend. It was decent and incredibly well-acted. Just needed something to bridge us to American Hustle next weekend. Then it's full-on Wolf of Wall Street waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Didn't someone here see The Wolf of Wall Street already and they panned it a little bit? Or maybe I'm getting it confused with Dallas Buyers Club or The Counselor... For what it's worth, Blackfish, the documentary about Sea World and other seaparks working with killer whales/orcas is definitely going to be on the final list for the Academy. It's excellent. I recall someone here mentioning it a few pages back. Right now, they're down to the final 15.

Brian Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yeah, Blackfish was great. Very informative and really well done. That and Sound City are my two favorite documentaries this year. Haven't seen Act of Killing yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Actually got to catch a flick - saw Gravity with my wife. Definitely recommend it. The general plot line is pretty simple, and there were a couple "you just had to do that, didn't you?" moments... but it was one of the most end-to-end intense movies I've ever seen, very tightly constructed and produced. It gets intense like 2 minutes in, and stays there basically the entire time, which is hard to pull off. Truly edge of your seat stuff. And Sandra Bullock was pretty great.
