I'll be first in the queue to see Barney Ross, Lee Christmas and co in action in Expendables 2.
Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
Anyone know anything about Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim? From the brief snippets I've seen, it looks like it might be Transformers done right - a giant robot movie by a good director!

Resident Evil: Retribution and Dredd are next for me.
Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
Further to my previous post, IO9 describes Pacific Rim thusly: "Guillermo del Toro makes a movie about giant robots fighting giant monsters, with Idris Elba." There is literally nothing about that sentence that I'm not sold on.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
Not exactly looking forward to these but I'm sure somebody is. I might be tempted by New Hope, although a theatrical released would be better.
Before Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace came back to the theaters earlier this year converted for 3D, the plan was to bring the other five movies to theaters one at a time each year, but that has apparently changed. At the Star Wars Celebration VI event in Orlando (where we first found out about the Blu-ray release two years ago) Lucasfilm announced that Episodes II and III in 3D will be released in theaters back to back in fall of 2013, arriving September 20th and October 11th, respectively. Missing so far from the announcement? A reason for the back-to-back release or any word on Blu-ray 3D plans. In lieu of more details, although it means Attack of the Clones will come back later in the year than Phantom Menace did, with any luck this accelerated schedule is a good omen for the original trilogy's return. Of course, we'll have to wait and see what magic can be worked with those older film and special effects elements, however IGN apparently found an early preview of the Episode II 3D footage to be promising.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
Dredd 3D has been getting excellent reviews, like this one from Crave Online. This part stood out for me,
Remind you of anyone?Urban is a modern day Clint Eastwood here. Who else do we have that’s all about the task? All our heroes now are trying so hard to be characters, sometimes becoming even bigger cliches that way. Dredd just wants to get the job done, and he cares about the difference between sentencing, execution and interrogation.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
Typical. You post an approving review calling someone "the new Clint Eastwood" and then Clint turns himself into the butt of a gazillion jokes on Twitter.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
Dredd is sounding better than I thought it would still be on DVD by xmas. Sad because it sounds better than a lot of crap coming out.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
This is a problem across the board. The ever-shortening times between cinema and DVD releases are killing cinema attendance figures. And that forces cinema owners to put up prices to compensate, putting even more people off.Omega wrote:Dredd is sounding better than I thought it would still be on DVD by xmas.

(thinks)
Perhaps we need to start a rumour that Spyfail will be out on DVD 6 weeks after its theatrical release and that it will cost an extra £5/$10 a ticket above the usual price to see in the cinema.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
Sad part is it may be out in 6 weeks. When DAD hit theaters it was May or June the next year, CR & QOS it was much shorter, I want to say it was still winter when they got releases.
When we think of going a debate is in so many months we can buy it and the whole family watch it for the price of a dvd and box of Orville Redenbacher's.

It is. I'd like to take the kids to the original Star Wars trilogy on the big screen.carl stromberg wrote:It's still nice to see the big films in the cinema.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
It's a shame you can't watch the original SW trilogy without the CGI Lucas threw in decades on. He's insane that man.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
Collectors items now. I got a set from wal-mart with comics for each movie. Problem is the unaltered versions are hard to watch on the TV I don't know the proper term but they don't fit the screen.Kristatos wrote:A friend of mine has the original trilogy in 2-DVD sets that include both the theatrical versions and the ones with GGI muppets added.John Drake wrote:It's a shame you can't watch the original SW trilogy without the CGI Lucas threw in decades on.

What they did was take the laser disc copy of the original trilogy and convert it to dvd without doing anything else with it.
Lucas is retiring I'm hoping the next head of Lucasfilm releases the original theatrical trilogy

I was expecting Dredd to rule the US box office but end up #6.

Re: Movies you're looking forwards to
I'm actually interested in seeing The Hobbit. I saw some footage from the film shown on TV the other day, and It looks pretty cool.
