So they finally made a movie out of that fast food restaurant prank call. I remember seeing the actual security cam footage in my sociology class a long time ago. I think that was enough for me.

Kind of a boring month, to be honest.

[krameriffic]

Bourne has the most boring actor of the last 100 years as the lead. There is no fun in that.

Taylor Kitsch isn't the lead of Bourne. It only has the third most boring actor of the last 100 years, behind Kitsch and Sam Worthington.

[Aselith]

Renner is one of the worst actors around. His monologue in Ghost Protocol about how he relates to Hunt is one of the most terrible bits of acting that I've seen in a Hollywood movie in years.

Can't imagine him being good in the Bourne movie.

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

More biased bullshit from Plainview.
No Expendables 2 I understand.

No Red Hook Summer. Inexcusable. (I want someone to tell me how a new Spike Lee movie doesn't belong in the top 10..but 2 Days in New York does.)

[boinx]

Cosmopolis, Samsara and Lawless for me

[elkayes]

Cosmopolis is people talking to each other. It´s definitly worth seeing, but as a movie it´s flawed. Dont expect too much, the trailer is misleading.
Still I really like Cronenbergs movies.

Oh and please take count of how many people walk out when you see it. For me it was 7 out of about 25.

[twinturbo2]

yes

I'm not sure if I want to see The Master, I'm just a little paranoid that Xenu will strike me down with his fists of vengeance or something.

[BattleMonkey]

Expendables 2 should be #1

[Expendable.]

More biased bullshit from Plainview. No Expendables 2 I understand. No Red Hook Summer. Inexcusable. (I want someone to tell me how a new Spike Lee movie doesn't belong in the top 10..but 2 Days in New York does.)

Wait until you see it. I'll give you a refund myself if you genuinely can put into words why you loved it.

Note: Spike Lee has also made some of favorite films, so not biased on this one.

[Arment]

Bourne and Total Recall this month.

Not even a matinee nod to TR? Dayum.

[CREMSteve]

Everyone should watch this music video for Expendable if they haven't.

Outstanding.

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

CHALLENGE FUCKING ACCEPTED. I will return to this thread Sunday to report.

[JeTmAn81]

No good wife is given by this list.

[kruis]

- The Bourne Legacy
- Cosmopolis
- Lawless
- Samsara
- ParaNorman
- Chicken with Plums
- Total Recall

Not a bad month!

[twinturbo2]

Oh, forgot about The Campaign. Will Ferrell punches a baby. I'm so there.

[Expendable.]

Bourne and Total Recall this month. Not even a matinee nod to TR? Dayum.

Uh, it's directed by Len Wiseman and written by the worst screenwriter in Hollywood. So, no.

CHALLENGE FUCKING ACCEPTED. I will return to this thread Sunday to report.

It doesn't open until later in the month. But I look forward to it :)

[Sunflower]

Expendables 2 baby! All the rest of these look good, but I like having broad horizons and I can appreciate EX2.

[Eidan]

I saw Hit & Run at Bonnaroo.

It was terrible. Dax Shepard isn't funny, and seeing the movie flail around in attempts to make the audience laugh are often times embarrassing.

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

It doesn't open until later in the month. But I look forward to it :)

I got my Spike's mixed up...seeing his Tyson show this weekend. Next weekend for Red Hook.

#SummerofSpike

[Canis lupus]

Samsare looks good.

[Dan]

Nothing excites me on the movie front between now and when Wreck-It Ralph comes out. Is there something wrong with me?

Yes.

Skipping over the August stuff already mentioned, you'd be missing:

The Master
Dredd
Looper
Argo
Killing Them Softly
Cloud Atlas

[Phoenician_Viking]

Expandable 2

Not sure about about Total Recall. Was the original any good?

[elkayes]

Expandable 2 Not sure about about Total Recall. Was the original any good?

no

[Speevy]

Expandable 2 Not sure about about Total Recall. Was the original any good?

[Surface of Me]

Seeing The Campaign and The Expendables 2, maybe Total Recall.

[Count Dookkake]

Expandable 2 Not sure about about Total Recall. Was the original any good?

Any good?

It's one of the best action films of all time and at the same time the best deconstruction of them as well.

no

lol

[Expendable.]

Expandable 2 Not sure about about Total Recall. Was the original any good?

Nope, one of the most overrated movies of the 90s.

I saw Hit & Run at Bonnaroo. It was terrible. Dax Shepard isn't funny, and seeing the movie flail around in attempts to make the audience laugh are often times embarrassing.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. Everything felt so forced and it was super plain.

[Solo]

Probably just Bourne, and if it opens around here, Samsara.

[Scullibundo]

Plainview, have you seen 2 Days in Paris? How does New York compare? I'm worried because Adam Goldberg was the best part of Paris and so his absence coupled with the fact that the trailer looks to take the jokes of the first and recycle them here is making me think I should avoid this.

[BFA]

Only just Bourne Legacy for me.

[ViewtifulJC]

90s Total Recall hate

fuck ya'll

[Derrick01]

I've never even heard of most of these movies. I'll just see Expendables 2 if I heal up enough from my surgery. I still haven't had a chance to see Batman yet.

[UrbanRats]

Kinda interested in that Samsara, though from the trailer, pretty images aside, i fear it may lack some humanity or sincerity (something that for example Herzog usually nails down), because it looks very much like a long commercial.
Still, it could be amazing to see in a Tarsem kind of way, for the spectacle.

[Doffen]

KON-TIKI is the only one that I’m seriously excited to watch. It will only be screened in Norway this August, I'm not sure about international releases.



Trailer 1 - Trailer 2

[jett]

Nothing.

[Expendable.]

Yeah, I saw it and linked to my review! It's good, but the act is very scattered and feels like its from a different movie. The best parts are the family interactions. Rock is good, too so no worries there.

[gooey kablooie]

Paranorman and maybe Lawless.

[King of the Potato People]

I might see Brave since it's out in England, the reception seems a bit mixed.

[linsivvi]

Chicken with Plums is really good. Go watch it people!

[Cousteau]

I think August is a good Drive-In month.
Not sure which of or if any of these will be playing though.

[Dan]

KON-TIKI is the only one that I’m seriously excited to watch. It will only be screened in Norway this August, I'm not sure about international releases. Trailer 1 - Trailer 2

2nd trailer makes it look interesting. First trailer is so full of dumb melodrama set before the expedition though, I would hope that's a very small portion of the movie. Otherwise I'd just rewatch the actual documentary that the expedition produced.

[elry09]

Ive been a lurker on the board for years, but just now have become a member, thanks for doing these lists Expendable, ive discovered a lot of cool movies because of what you have posted about here!

[T Dollarz]

Eh, nothing worth running to the theater for imo. A few I'd like to see eventually, though.

[TheKaeptain]

Nope, one of the most overrated movies of the 90s

... what?

[Expendable.]

... what?

Re-watched it and it has some fun elements but it's mostly a drag. RoboCop is Verhoeven's pulpy masterpiece.

[-Stranger-]

Cosmopolis
2 Days in New York
The Bourne Legacy (Need to see the previous films)
Samsara
Compliance

I think I'll start by watching these.

[Aselith]

Re-watched it and it has some fun elements but it's mostly a drag. RoboCop is Verhoeven's pulpy masterpiece.

Sorry to hear you thought that. :( I rewatched it a few months ago and thought it was still excellent. Great action and still a really fun and thoroughly enjoyable movie.

[T Dollarz]

Cosmopolis 2 Days in New York The Bourne Legacy (Need to see the previous films) Samsara Compliance I think I'll start by watching these.

Your August mission.

[I Push Fat Kids]

I pushed Celeste and Jesse two years ago at my old job. I didn't love the script but it was decent and had total 'produce-ability' about it.

Fucking executives.
