Why are we getting all these old films that hardly anyone has heard of being released in steelbooks, it sucks!

Cant we even get proper oldies like the godfather, sat night fever, gone with wind etc, films that are acutal classics, like the scareface steelbook!

Little things about the movie annoy me as well. For example, how does Kinski get into the hotel room. A Texas hotel room door closes and locks automatically. Stanton isn't there, he's in the parking lot below. Hunter doesn't answer the door. For Kinski to enter, Stanton could only have left the door ajar, with an object like a shoe. With Stanton in the parking lot, this leaves the room ripe for robbery or child kidnapping. The scene is cinematic but unlikely.

A must not buy, just rent it, this is an old movie, it not worth to buy rightnow, i will buy it for a buck free shipping lol.

it was a terribly poor reproduction, especially in the beginning. we stopped straining in the middle. very dissatisfied.

Two trucks full of explosives have to be transported. Four fierce men try do the job for the money.

This film is highly overrated. None of the actor stick to its character . If you wanna watch this film and you haven't seen it please don't read any further. Here's what I have to say. M. Jo gives away the pistol to his opponent in a brawl and looks heroic but gets scared on his way to deliver the stuff. Why is the brawl scene required? It is suggested that he kills another man so that he can go for the job (he was not selected) but that is not confirmed until the end. You sit for 2.5 hrs to see a truck finally reaching its destination. There are no twists and turns in the film. The only twists director could imagine were a wooden bridge and a big rock. How imaginative. There is a build up of an hour before the film really starts, I thought that one hour was about characterization but thats not true either. Its a waste of two hrs .

Acting wise its OK. I have a problem with the depth of characters so no point in discussing that. I am giving 4 points for oil leak scene and actors who did that scene. A very boring and senseless film. 4/10.

Wait for the fantastic Special Edition due in June!, February 27, 2012

This review is from: Hugo (Three-disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

Spread over three Blu-ray discs, the Special Edition performs real movie magic by showing where Scorcese stole the idea for every scene in Hugo! Every time Richard Griffiths gets bitten on the shin by a yappy little dog, the Special Edition replays the original Richard Griffiths bitten on the shin by a yappy little dog scene from Harry Potter. One entire Blu-ray disc contains the stolen bits from most of Giuseppe Tornatore's work. After all, if you're going to pretend to love the cinema, why not grab your love from the best? There's even a special feature on "How we make little kid's eyes look like saucers with bits we stole from The Lord of The Rings movies."

If you prefer hard-snorting Hollywood gossip over cinema/enema, there's a roaring interview with Emil Lager, the guitarist, about how "Scores" promised him all the nose candy he could snort in his two day shoot plus he got to keep the antique guitar he played in the film. "He really jobbed me on the guitar," laughs Emil. "Turned out to just be an old beat-up Harmony and they CGI'd in the nice one. But that's OK. I left it there after taking a dump in it and putting a little note on the fretboard, `Please send to Robbie.'"

The Arclight is quite the theater isn't it? Reserved seating, modern set up, huge theaters with huge screens, along with huge prices on pretty much everything. Granted, it's rad not to have to worry about getting a seat and all that, but the price of a ticket here is pretty high. And then you gotta pay for parking as well on the way out, even with a validation. I will give them this though, they do play some good movies that you wouldn't find at a lot of other theaters and do take the time to do some events with Q&A which is always fun. I saw Hesher here with the Q&A and it was pretty rad, except for the part where the girl stood up and told the director how she really related to the movie because she too had lost a loved one. Then she asked her sister to stand up and they both almost started crying. I guess this would be the point when a Q&A goes bad, yeap, that was it. Other than that though it was super awesome. I would def attend another Q&A because the people asking the questions were really interesting and I found what they had to say really interesting, and in no way did I start to laugh at any of the questions or make calls on those people, not at one point. The crying girls didn't make me feel awkward at all either.

So yeah the archlight is awesome, but way overpriced.

So, two stupid humans and one stupid muppet doing stupid things.
This movie is boring even for my 8 years-old nephew.
I mean, who's the target of this movie? Old people who saw the original Muppet's Show 30 years ago or young people who prefer non-puppetish movies?
I liked the Muppet's Show when I was a kid.. but.. Disney turned the Muppets franchise into a musical-stupidity-musical-stupidity endless cycle.
