Fall Movie TSL

This goes without saying..

Looking forward to Bond and Star Wars.
I'm a little concerned about SW with Disney being involved. I would have much rathered see George Lucas finish the run himself. He's listed as a creative consultant.

Daniel Craig may be my favorite Bond. I liked the dark edginess he brought to the character...But that trailer looks like Chrisopher Nolan directed the movie. I hope they don't take it too far. Bond films still need to be at least a little campy.
I'm excited about Christoph Waltz as the villain. He was impressive in both Inglorious Basterds and Django. I think he'll ad a flair to the Spectre Villain.
I'm disappointed in the Bond girls. Perhaps they can bring something a little different in the character department that will change my mind.
My favorite Bond girls:
Jane Seymour and Halle Berry
The hottest ones in the Craig era were definitely Eva Greene and Caterina Murino in Casino Royale. Originally Posted by boardman

And as far as BOND, sweet Tebow man, Monica Belluci is FINALLY gonna play a Bond girl...that is a wet dream come true for me. I've adored her since Malena an Italian movie she did back in 2000. But I am with ya on Eva Green tho.

<<<--- Offers Chick & a Flick dates. (Shameless plug. You can plug ME after the movie.)

I have been in the sin-ema a lot this year, and am looking forward to fall, as well. Okay, call me a sentimental, juvenile fool, but I really want to see "The Peanuts Movie." I'm a Snoopy gal. (Shhhhhh! Don't tell the chihuahuas.) But sci fi, fantasy, and action flicks are usually my favs.

Halloween month (my favorite time of year, as it's my birthday month, too, and the beginning of the Texas Renaissance Festival) will be bringing us Matt Damon as "The Martian," Vin Diesel as "The Last Witch Hunter," and the comical horror of a "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse."

"San Andreas" was the biggest dud of the summer for me. No heart. Didn't care who lived or got squashed by collapsing skyscrapers or the Golden Gate Bridge. Even jaded by the special effects. Heavy sigh.

I post this link on my movie date ads. Constantly updates with upcoming releases: http://www.movieinsider.com/movies/-/2015 Originally Posted by Fancyinheels

I'm so glad I checked the sandbox today! (I usually don't!)

I saw a preview for this film- while I usually don't like most Action-Comedy flicks, I freakin adore the lead male, the same guy who did "Zombie-Land" (with Woody Harrelson)


and a personal bonus for me, that the lead female is (a very beat-up, tee-hee) Kirsten Stewart, "Twilight."

Oh did I mention what I can't mention? lol Just watch the preview. Heh.


The film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Connie Britton, Topher Grace, Walton Goggins, John Leguizamo, Bill Pullman, and Tony Hale.
Release date: August 21, 2015

Went movie jumpin with the nephew this weekend saw the gallows minions and the terminator.

The Gallows (spoiler) was a shit movie made for high school kids. Kid gets hung in a school play 20 years ago, his spirit comes back to kill the son of the guy that was out sick the day he died.


Minions was cute and fun as expected.

Terminator. Best terminator since the first one, (don't take much to get there). I loved Terminator as a kid one of my all time favs, but the subsequent editions ain't been that good but as a fan I've seen them all a couple times at least. Now this one is better it don't beat #1 at all but it was a fun watch. Lots of stuff in there for true fans. Still you have to let something's go from what you know of the series.

(Spoiler) correct me if you saw movie and saw where this was explained. They even mention it twice but never answered some basic questions. Like I said spoiler. Sara somehow had a terminator sent to her at 9 and he was a good terminator. How or who sent him we don't know. Good terminator raised the girl, so when Resse finds her she's all trained up. If you got how this happened let me know.

I'm ready to return to childhood once more as Vacation comes out.

But you are right, it was still fun to watch!


San Andreas was a dud!
but that opening scene where The Rock put the helicopter inside the canyon to save the girl was pretty awesome though!

Belluci is about to turn 51 and it's starting to show IMO. Like I said, hopefully she can turn that maturity into some kind of sexy we haven't seen before in a Bond flick.
She could have been a top 5 Bond girl 20 years ago. She still may be but the trailers I've seen with her haven't been that promising to me. I think there were probably better choices out there.
That other gal does nothing for me.

I though he said he wasn't gonna do Bond anymore. But I really liked him as bond so glad it's coming. And I will be looking for the new Star Wars. I'm more into games I can't wait for the next rainbow six and call of duty black ops. To bad they pushed back uncharted, hopefully it's worth the wait. Originally Posted by Trey

I think they had to make him more Jason Bourne like... All other Bonds, especially Moore, were too soft in comparison.

Craig is probably closest to author Ian Fleming's concept of Bond.

Break his heart, Monica! (Says another member of the mature seductress club. )

Seemed to me from reading a few of the novels long ago that Craig was a better personification (not necessarily physically, but emotionally) of the fictional character than some who have played him. If memory serves me right, Fleming's protagonist was more "human" and conflicted than the callous, mechanical, one-dimensional womanizer that Hollywood has often given us.

I've had a soft spot for Roger Moore since "The Saint," but thought he was the most pretentious, least Bond-like of all. Pierce Brosnan was a wee bit too suave, too good-looking. Some imperfections and rough edges are required.

Sean Connery, right or wrong, will always be the penultimate Bond. He can shake AND stir me.

I only ever saw the one James Bond movie that had Oddjob in it...no others that I can remember...just don't enjoy watching ridiculously unrealistic fantasies...except for surrealistic nightmares like El Topo.

However, if Gary Oldman were to ever be given the role, I'd watch that one. For the surrealism he would bring to it.

I was pretty down on these summer movie, with the exception of Mad Max: Fury Road, and now Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. I was impressed. the story was garbage, but the action and locations were well done. And the cherry on top was getting to watch Rebecca Ferguson kick ass and look stunning.

Just had to mention one being released not during the fall. This group formed part of the soundtrack of my young adulthood.

Better than any Bond movie, I think. I damn near didn't watch it because I figured it might butcher the book....Hard to believe, but it was better than the book. Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace were outstanding in this, as they were also in The Drop, and anything with Gary Oldman in it will be good. It's intense.

Probably the main reason I did watch it was the critics hated it....I usually like stuff those cocksuckers hate and vice versa. I guess they got their panties in a wad because it transgressed the party line (Putin banned it), and made Stalin era Soviet life look nightmarish. Hell, it was nightmarish.

The serial killings that are central to the movie actually occurred later, from Brezhnev through Gorbachev....and quickly solved almost immediately after dissolution of Soviet Union...the party line held that serial killing was a symptom of capitalism and it would be impossible in workers paradise. Andrei Chikatilo was even worse than his fictional counterpart in Citizen 44.
