Re: Good films..
So, apparently iron sky is getting decent reviews. It's campy and over-the-top, but supposedly a pretty good movie.
But I'm here because of Prometheus. this is Ridley Scott's Alien prequel. OMG.
of the two, the first I think is the better trailer. Makes me moist.

It's shit. Even for a chick flick. Pattinson can't act.

Re: Good films..
Haha! I see a distinct difference in movies being judged by Derf since +- a year. I feel for you man (but then I don't for the other perks).

Re: Good films..
I thought that move was ok, though not amazing. Also one of the actors died in the middle of that movie...err, Heath Ledger.
BTW, we watched Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (US version). It wasn't bad, actually. I prefer the original version, though.

Re: Good films..
Remaking foreign films into a US version is an interesting phenomenon. I don't think that really used to happen much* in the past, but the last 5 years it's been increasingly common. They did a remake of "Let the right one in" (called "let me in") which did ok at the box office, but I've seen both and I have to say the remake is inferior to the original even with the extra budget and gloss. It lacks the eeriness of the original, basically.
I wonder what the idea behind these remakes is. Wouldn't it be easier to just release the originals in the US cinemas and offer subtitles? Or would interest in a non-English spoken horror film with a distinctly European vibe be too low to make it a viable box office success?
* I'm not a film historian so you can correct me

Re: Good films..
most Americans are not interested in reading subtitles in a movie. And voice-overs are distracting/disconcerting since they don't match the lips of the actors. So, for non-English-language movies, a remake I think is the only way to have a chance in the box-office. For English language movies, though... by all means, they should work.

Re: Good films..
Trailer for Wreck-It Ralph, about a video character 'bad guy' who wants something new from his life. Looks fun.

Re: Good films..
hrmm... I prefer the Pretty Lights version of that song.
Anyway, looks potentially interesting (the movie). I may catch it.
I did end up watching Prometheus on opening day weekend. I thought it was pretty good. There were some Hollywood problems, but over all I thought it was pretty good, and a great set-up for the original Alien movie.

Re: Good films..
Good to hear. It's supposed to be fail according to the internet rage machine, but I think I trust your opinion a little more than the narrow 0/10 and 10/10 spectrum of internet voters.
