commentary on youtube: "cool an action packed Schliender List, with James Bond"
:lol:
Someone needs to stop Edward Zwick.
The man should just focus on silly action movies, instead of trying to make "important" movies. That way it'll be less embarrassing when he fails.
And hooray for German accents.

What was wrong with The Last Samurai?Quoting Morris Schæffer (view post)
I thought it lacked authenticity and a feel for the period. Everything looks too clean rather than lived-in, battle scenes are unimpressive, boring and unmoving, Cruise bothered me and two, albeit short, scenes featuring him were embarassingly awful. There is a superficiality to it that I could not see past. So hurrah for the Watanabe character who at least spiced some things up. I even thought John Toll's lensing, which I loved in Braveheart, was mediocre at best. There isn't a single memorable shot to be found from what I remember. Everything looked like it was bathed in perpetual sunlight period.

I just hope they remember to empty what is full... fill what is empty... and scratch what itches.

Trailer for the new Edward Zwick film can be seen here.
Looks like it may be typical "compassion born in the heat of conflict" wartime stuff, but the clips of Schreiber and Craig look promising.
I'd see it.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Sure why not?

Sorry - I must have skimmed over it.

This film looks so painful.
