Goon on Big Surprise: Top Grossing Movies of the Decade Are Basically All Franchise Films
it was only Sorcerer's Stone in the US, Hayley. Funny though for the movie at any mention of 'philosopher' they also did a second take saying 'sorcerer' which they used for the US release only.

sorcerer's stone....not philosophers
Jamal on Tony Scott's Remake of The Warriors Still Happening
why make a remake? In 1979 the Warriors walked away victorious...now lets see what their up too now. The plot should be about kids of today living the warriors legacy and is about to see what its like to be chased by almost every gang...and in order to survive they must seek the help of the real Warriors. When you remake a movie, all its showing is the same thing we saw before...only with different characters. If we was to see the remake, we should just dust off the original and start watching that. Come on hollywood use your heads, remakes are dumb and nothing but a waste of time.
Sean on Film Junk Poll: What is the Best Nicolas Cage Movie?
I was debating whether to include Bringing Out the Dead vs The Weather Man... in the end I just thought more people would have seen The Weather Man. But I agree, it is a great flick.
Paul K UK on Film Junk Poll: What is the Best Nicolas Cage Movie?
Where's Rumble Fish ? Thats my favorite
Jersey Jason on Film Junk Poll: What is the Best Nicolas Cage Movie?
The best Nic Cage movie isn't on the list. Bringing out the Dead. You may disagree with me that it's the best, but it's a lot better than half of the films listed.

lmao. 3D or not, I'm all in! about time we get some new Jackass!
Sean on Steven Spielberg Teaming with Stephen King for Under The Dome TV Series
I thought the same thing, but apparently it's a story he had started writing back in the '70s, and just came back to recently. Or so he claims!
Anthony on Top 10 Lamest G.I. Joe Action Figures
I remember when the little joes first came out and they were cool. Every year the new ones got cooler up until about 87. There were always a couple of them that were sweet but the lame ones started out numbering the keepers. At my house the lame ones were the ones that got blown up, shot with a pellet or .22, attached to model rockets to be launched into the neighborhood onto a rooftop, and the stupid ones also were burned. I think my favorite 3 3/4 joe was Blizzard. I had a fridge but I painted him camo and he was then cool, but I would never own a raptor even to blow up. I still like the big joes better. Anthony

No it is true because they use coconut oil and that has a ton of fat. You should see it when it is cold!!! Gross!!!

Captain N: Lol took the words right outta my mouth. it might still be interesting though, with Spielberg's engagement. plus HBO series always have something good to offer.
Chris on Steven Spielberg Teaming with Stephen King for Under The Dome TV Series
Actually I think Stephen King hasn't come up with an original story since Needful Things.

Goon on Good Hair Review
Thanks. One area I think I neglected to cover though is through all of these segments, there are underlying questions raised about one's racial identity, and if its empowering to now be able to make your hair whatever way you want, or if running away from natural black hair is a bad thing. I've been looking at some other reviews since writing this and would recommend anyone intrigued to scroll through some other reviews, such as this one: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/steven_rea/20091023_Chris_Rock_s_twist_on_a_cultural_craving.html

I agree. Very well written and I would not have even thought to watch this film without reading this.

Mahotoe on Anvil! The Story of Anvil Among Academy Award Documentary Snubs
While it has been historically true that the Academy has made some very bad decisions when it comes to documentaries, in the past few years they have adapted the rules to allow for a wider variety of styles and themes in the documentary categories. Just look at last year - Man on Wire won and it was far from the typical "important" Oscar-bait winners of the past. It also happened to be as character-based as anything by Errol Morris. The previous year's winner was Taxi to the Dark Side, which was also terrific. You aren't likely to find a film more character-driven than The Cove, which, like Man on Wire, is structured and paced more like a thriller than a documentary. I love American Movie - in my opinion it should have been nominated for and won Best Picture of 2000. It may be the best film of the decade. And if Chris Smith's 2009 release was as good as American Movie it likely would be on this year's Oscar short list. It wasn't, so it isn't.

About as fresh and original as what's under the couch ---in your mother's house -where you and Tarrentino are STILL living.
imawesomeurgay on Adult Swim's Tim and Eric Love Shrek The Third! (Not Really Though)
wow idiot it's not a tribute to youtube it's making fun of public access television, and making fun of comedy in general.
Marcus on The Orphanage Remake Loses Its Director
This film, in its original state, has absolutely nothing wrong with it. The Orphanage reawakened my interest in ghost story films. I am very disappointed that there are those out there who feel that The Orphanage should be remade, or restructured for an American audience. We, as members of the viewing community, must learn to appreciate a film for all of its inherent glory. I saw this film in a theater in New Mexico when it was first released, and the fact that it is a foreign-language film does not detriment its ability to relay story. In fact, I found myself caught up in the visuals that the subtitles became more of a nuisance than anything else.

Goon on Jackass 3 Confirmed for 2010... in 3-D!seems like more of a smellovision release
Goon on Anvil! The Story of Anvil Among Academy Award Documentary Snubs
I havent seen many of those documentaries so I'm not sure, but I think the track record of the Oscars in regards to documentaries speaks for itself, they lean too heavily towards a specific style and don't take a lot of other important documentaries seriously simply by nature of the subject matter. They want everything to be 'important' first and well crafted or character based far second. The only way they'll take it seriously is if it makes some serious bank. So something like American Movie doesn't get nominated. It's a shame.
Fatbologna on Kevin McKidd Confirms Involvement in Call of Duty Movie
It'll definitely be based off of the MW franchise as that's the one that's keeping people interested. It's also a pretty weak idea as the 2 MW games are so based around generic action film tropes presented from a first person perspective that to put it to film is redundant.
The Admirable on Jason Statham to Star in The Equalizer Movie?
Greetings fellow "Equalizers"... My choice would be Lewis Collins, of "The Professionals" and most notably the movie "Who Dares Wins" (US: The Final Option). At 63, he's the right age, is physically fit, and is a very good actor.

Mahotoe on Anvil! The Story of Anvil Among Academy Award Documentary Snubs
I've seen 8 of the movies on this list and I wouldn't want to argue that Anvil, as fun as it was, was better than any of them. I would argue that Burma VJ, The Cove and The Most Dangerous Man in America are each better than any of the films you last as possible snubs. The Cove and Burma VJ are as good as or better than anything else I've seen this year, doc or narrative.
MJS on Anvil! The Story of Anvil Among Academy Award Documentary Snubs
This is worse than usual. I could live without an Anvil nod, but the sheer number of popular documentaries that are being overlooked in favor of obscurities is pretty rediculous.
Brendan on Now Anne Hathaway Being Considered for Spider-Man 4?
@Morpheus: I don't know about recently, but the Black Cat used to be quite prominent in the Spider-Man comics. She and Spider-Man/Peter had been romantically involved for a good period of time, back in the 80s and 90s when I collected comics. She wasn't a villain at that time either, as she and Spider-Man would also fight crime together. OK, I feel like a huge nerd. Anyway, it seems like they're just tossing around any actress at this point. I'll wait until there's some concrete word on casting.

Erin on Top 10 Chick Flicks That Men Secretly Love
Here's one that hasn't been mentioned- Stardust. Guys really seem to like that movie. It's the only chickflick besides Moulin Rouge my husband has ever allowed himself to watch. I could see Mean Girls, Moulin Rouge, and Ghost (only because of Swayze). The rest, no. Especially Titanic. I have never met a guy that will admit to liking it. Were they forced to watch it? Yes. Did they like it? No.
Erin on Top 10 Movies That Could Have Kick Ass Sequels
No on Serenity 2. It just won't be the same without Wash. He brought a lot to that movie and it simply can't be replaced. And have you seen what Inara did to her gorgeous locks?! She is Anna on that new V show. Not the same.
Goon on Anvil! The Story of Anvil Among Academy Award Documentary Snubs
pretty big snub if you ask me, as Anvil is not only one of the best pictures of the year, but also one of the best reviewed and most unique.
