Dark Blue and The Life Of David Gale

I can't believe you liked HPD and Foreigner, yet disliked XXX. Opinions vary, but XXX had tons of action, and wasn't that implausible. HPD was a pale imitation of Under Siege. There wasn't one thing I liked about it.... plus they used wires throughout. I'm surprised you didn't comment on that. LOL Tears of the Sun looks good. Willis is always a dependable actor. His success comes because he can play a wide range of roles. If Seagal could do that, then he'd still be making movies that debut in theatres. Oh well, that's the past. Now it's off to STV land with Van Damme.

BTW... I saw "Q&A" before. It wasn't bad, nothing too memorable. The acting was good, but the ending was lame, with Nick Nolte shooting it out in the precicnt. That made no sense. Armand Assante was the main reason I watched it. He's an under-rated actor who's been doing supporting roles for years.

I said that I thought the Seagal movies were better than they were given credit for and ok. The critics are more concerned about destroying Seagals career right now and a lot of them dont even watch the movie itself..I did'nt like XXX at all-I guess it was more for the teenage crowd and did'nt impress me at all..Someone gave me the dvd and when i watched it I told them that they could have it back and give it to someone else because i wont be watching it again..
Ya boy Denzel just signed on to make a pretty good movie though-"Man On Fire" and it is being directed by Tony Scott(Ridley's brother and one of my favourite directors). This looks like a pretty good upcoming movie..

I hated XXX as well.

I bet you $100 that either The Yakuza,The Rescue or both will end up in theatres.I have heard there's gonna be a $40m budget for The Rescue and a $60m budget for The Yakuza.If done right, with a good cast,director & advertising,I see no reason why it shouldn't do well.I'm sure Out For A Kill & BOTH will go straight to dvd...so what?Lots of actors have some films going straight to dvd and on the big screen as well.I believe all Van Damme flicks now debut on dvd.

I hope you are right about The Rescue and The Yakuza Leon. 60 Mil does sound pretty steep right now though for a new Seagal film..

I'm really looking forward to seeing these two movies and both will be out this week..Dark Blue with Kurt Russell has the look of Training Day and Kurt looks like he is back in form for this outing-my type of action flick here..
The Life of David Gale looks to be a seriously engrossing drama with Kevin Spacey the star here..
Enough of the kid stuff and these two gets my attention.
Cradle to the Grave will be out the following week but I think these two are the better films. Jet Li looks like spiderman in Cradle with the tremendous amount of wirework used in most of his scenes..I'll probably give it a look though in a few weeks..Next week it will be coming out all by itself with no competition and so it should do very well nonetheless..
seen dark blue and loved it

Isnt this forum suppose to be fr Seagal films only?
Yes, it is. :) This thread is over a year-and-a-half old--way before my moderating days :D--and was just revived. It's now in Entertainment, where it belongs. ;)
