You know, the BloodRayne games weren't bad but were largely forgettable. I think it's pretty crazy they managed to make three films but I'm sure they're cheap to make.

First one cost $25 million, the next two were $10 million each.

[Phoenix Dark]

how is that possible?

[Great Rumbler]

how is that possible?

How is it possible that Uwe Boll continues to get even that much to make his movies? That is truly one of the great mysteries of our time.

[Great Rumbler]

So wait, did the first make that money back?

Not even close.

[Mupepe]

Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic:     $2,405,420       65.9%
+ Foreign:     $1,244,855       34.1%
= Worldwide:     $3,650,275    

On a budget of $25 million

hahahahahahahaha

[Great Rumbler]

Even DVD sales weren't that good, about $10 million.

Germany fixed the loophole he was using.

[ManaByte]

Five years ago. They changed it in 2005 and the loophole was completely non-existent by 2006.

[Dickie Dee]

That looks like the first Uwe movie I could mildly enjoy, if only for kitsch value and Nazi choppin'. Doubt I'd ever give it a download though.

[Dickie Dee]

So I guess this is the movie he was making when he shot Auschwitz on the side, and was able to use it's sets and props?

The Damned United

I care very little about European soccer so I was rather surprised when a friend who hates soccer recommended me this movie.  I had only the vaguest notion of the story it was loosely based on but I decided to watch it anyway.  Turns out it is pretty fucking amazing.  Michael Sheen gives one of those performances that should wine Oscars if the academy wasn't so hung up on the fact that mental incompetency is a barrier to truly great roles.  It certainly helps that he is playing off actors that great in their right.  Loved it and can't suggest it highly enough.

I was shocked how much I enjoyed this movie. It is not the movie I'd normally like but it was great. The director's next movie is getting some pretty insanely strong buzz too.

[Great Rumbler]

They made a Dead Rising movie???
http://scenereleases.info/2010/11/dead-rising-2010-dvdrip-xvid-ac3-vision.html

It's actually directed by Keiji Inafune. 

I watched the trailer and it looks mind-numbingly awful.

You should check out the author of the original novel, David Peace, if you haven't already.

[Great Rumbler]

So he left Capcom to pursue a life long dream of making shit films.

Looks he made the movie while still at Capcom.

Also, the movie is being released direct to Xbox Live.

That's hurtin'

Uwe's next movie after bloddrayne

\

“The first female fat superhero …
She will kick major ass – with her major ass …

All the BLOODRAYNE fans will love that movie!”

Uwe Boll feels so....2003.

[Enl]

Uwe Boll is like a poor German man's Lloyd Kaufman.

"sounds like you're catching a cold"
"I'll probably catch it too"

seems like no matter how old I get, Winnie the Pooh remains timeless. amazing

[ManaByte]

They did a good job mimicking the rougher animation style from the mid-60's to mid-70's that the original shorts used.

[Robo]

The Hunger outline, review to come never:

Tony Scott's directoral debut/vampires, sort of, but not really/David Bowie/Susan Sarandon's perfect breasts/terrible, incomprehensible editing/Susan Sarandon's horrible acting/BAUHAUS/(Willem Defoe)/nonsensical ending after a series of false endings

Aesthetically, it's exactly how a vampire movie should be.  I can't say I watched it for any other reason, so I was pleased with it overall.

[Cheebs]

Wow they didn't make it modern or fast past or dreamworksy at all. Good work Disney.

[TEEEPO]

i was affected

If there's one rule you have to follow in life, you can't fuck up Winnie the Pooh.

I hate Winnie the Pooh, is a distinguished mentally-challenged bear doing gay ass shit with his gay ass friends, how can people watch his fucking movies?

I hated it as a child too.

Diunx hates everything good, so no surprise there.

[Diunx]

Do you also enjoy the teletubies GR?

Wait, you consider Winnie the Pooh and the Teletubies to be on a similar level? 

[Diunx]

Pretty much.

The Dark Knight Rises villain is Catwoman.

http://www.deadline.com/2010/11/chris-nolan-lines-up-actresses-for-batfilm/

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Nolan is lining up actresses he'll meet for two female lead roles in The Dark Knight Rises, the third installment of the Batfranchise which Warner Bros has dated release on July 20, 2012. I'm told one of the roles is a love interest for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne, and the other is a villain. The actresses are: Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley. Nolan is keeping the roles under wraps, just the way that he did when he drafted his Inception star Tom Hardy to come aboard to likely play a villain. Deadline broke that story October 13. I'm still not sure what the role is and I believe Hardy took the job without knowing or reading a script that's still being tweaked.

Catwoman fits better than Poison Ivy, and they wouldn't do Harley Quinn without the Joker.

[Diunx]

Enjoy hell GR.

Batman has more female villains besides catwoman.

[Robo]

I love Abel Ferrara, but I don't think I've ever seen that one.

edit: huh, it isn't available on Netflix.

Unless there's some word play going on here, it says TWO female roles. A Batman love interest. And a villain.

[Phoenix Dark]

Catwoman 

I just hope she's never called "Catwoman" in the film, at least not officially; maybe someone at the scene of a crime calls her that. Otherwise just call her Selena

[Raban]

Pretty sure it's gonna be Talia Al Ghul. Manabyte's just talking out of his ass again.

[Phoenix Dark]

I'd prefer this

[Cheebs]

Seeing how Nolan says the main appeal of him doing the third film is to have closure and end his series on his own terms something no super hero movie did I would bet he would have it be Talia. It'd be a perfect way to come full circle and end the trilogy.

It makes the most sense in it being the finale film to bring it back to Begins.

[Great Rumbler]

What if it's BOTH?!

[cool breeze]

Talia would be great.  Assuming she had the information and resources of Liam Neeson, that means she has an army of ninja and knows that Bruce is Batman.

It would be awesome if she is just a cocktease for Bruce.  Final minutes of the movie is Bruce thinking he's about to get down, then Tom Hardy walks in and puts on a gimp mask; re-origins of Bane.

I hate Winnie the Pooh, is a distinguished mentally-challenged bear doing gay ass shit with his gay ass friends, how can people watch his fucking movies?

I bet even drew liked Winnie the pooh as a kid. that said the trailer looks meh.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I love Winnie the Pooh but that trailer looked like poorly composited Flash animation at points, seriously

[cool breeze]

the Pooh trailer was nice

Eeyore 

he's like me in real life, only less of an ass.

Silly old bear. 

[BlueTsunami]

As far as vampire flicks go, anyone ever watch Near Dark? I'm intrigued by its premise and setting.

Monsters
Fucking shit this is a misleading trailer.  I saw some others like this movie, I hated it.  What the fuck was

  ugh.  I couldn't hold my laughter in the theater for a good minute afterwards.  There is a little to no action in this movie.  Be warned.  Oh and

WHY IS THERE ONLY A FUCKING SQUID??? THAT'S THE BEST IDEA THEY HAD??

and what the fuck is with

the alien love making at the end??

[close]

  Fuck this movie.  Seriously.  Trash.  Crap.  The story is distinguished mentally-challenged and has so many stupid loose ends that I don't give a shit about anything regarding the characters.  The love story is so unbelievable that it's insulting.  The reason for going through the infected zone is so contrived and could have been avoided easily.  Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy fucking writing.  And fuck you and your illegal immigration finger wagging.

When we leave, we'll forget all about this like it doesn't exist.

Fuck yes we will.  that's why I leave Mexico! Oh and I'll leave you with

  .5/10  Severely disappointed.  Craptacular movie.
FUCK MONSTERS

Loved the movie. Especially hearing how it was made.

It was shot all on location right?  with a bunch of people who didn't even know they were in a movie?  either way, I hated it.  Probably had more to do with the misrepresentation of the movie in the trailers, but I hated it.  To each his own.

[Robo]

We should have a Bore movie night. Choose a netflix movie and watch it in party mode.

Rumplestiltskin, and I'm in.

[Mupepe]

that's pretty cool.  didn't know about the special effects part or the US filming part.

BTW, I'm all for Bore movie night.

[Mr. Gundam]

A bunch of my buddies came over on Wednesday night (a Veteran's Day Eve party) and we watched Predator. It was an absolute blast, but we discovered that one of our friends had never seen it before and we probably ruined it for him by blurting everything out right before it was gonna happen.

[Mupepe]

$15k?  That's impressive.  Still pissed me off though.  Damn my stupid expectations.

Anyone going to see Skyline?  I think it looks terribad.  I'll end up seeing it but I get douche chills seeing the trailer.

[Mupepe]

Yeah, that one looks way better.  I'm all for alien disaster movies but skyline just looks so generic.

[Mupepe]

didn't they just do the effects for both?  and from what I could tell, both look generic story wise, but from the trailers battle seems to have bigger and more interesting set pieces.
