Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

The more unconventional one first:
V for Vendetta [ trailer ]
Set in "near future" facist Britain, and produced by both Wachowski's (The Matrix). Hmm, different - will be fun to see how that turns out. Note the reference to a certain firework related event too...

And the other one:
The Sentinel [ trailer ]
Not much info about this one yet. It looks to be fairly standard action "omgs conspiracy!" stuff, but Kiefer Sutherland is in a leading role (and not as the obvious good guy either) which has my interest. This does mean I'll have to fight thinking of him as Jack Bauer though.

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

I wouldn't call V For Vendetta an action movie, or rather the source material is an extremely wordy without stupid crap like slow motion knives.

I don't think the Wachowskis really know what's going on, if what Moore said about their adaptation is to be believed.

It was ****ing awful. It ranks at the moment as the worst film that I have ever seen and I saw the Hulk.
The plot was absurd at best irreconcilably irrational at worst. the acting made my eyes bleed. the dialogue had a similar effect.

kate b in leather was it's only redeeming feature but i could have looked at pictures for that.

I too hold out hope for X3

The original was a really good film that i've watched numerous times and always enjoyed.

I don't envision myself ever watching the sequel again unless my entire family are held at gunpoint by the crazed script writer who wrote that utter piece of shit.

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

Speaking of Jack Bauer.... megla you cock


I used to watch Phone booth to fall asleep too. Not because its a particularly good film or because i love any of the charachters just that id seen it so many times it wasnt intrusive on my conciounceness.

You told me when you saw it you couldnt get Jack Bauer out your head. I had not seen 24 so thought 'haha you = lose'. His voice in phone booth is immense (Athlough his voice is ace anyways).

I tried watching it last night.


I hate you for ever introducing me to 24 as ive lost 48 hours of my life (so far) and now i cant watch phone booth because it just sounds plain wrong.

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

Maybe try thinking of him as Jack's evil identical twin brother, who was so nasty he inspired Jack to be the indestructable force of angry righteousness that he is!
Or something.

Youre saying that any movie featuring Kate B in the most amazing outfits known to man is ... poor?

Of course its a bit Hokum, Bill Nighy was never the most convincing evil vampire lord in the world, and a cast which was all a bit luvvy wasnt going to convince anyone the world was being stalked by evil groups of vampires and werewolves.

However, it was well acted and a modern, gothic reinterpretation of Romeo and Juliet. The sequel was always going to struggle as they had to write their own script from scratch, and as we all know, Hollywood struggles a lot nowadays when they dont have a historic template to work from.

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

Talking about vampire flicks; I recommend Night Watch 1 and Night Watch.. russian movies.

In fact, I really recommend mos the russian action flicks (with subtitles), as they're kinda polished, but still really raw, gritty and semi-realistic.

Nighy is absoloutely woeful as a bad guy, he doesnt come off well at all in this.

He wasnt all that menacing in the first one.

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

V for Vendetta has Stephen Fry in it...

You say taught action thriller...you don't think Stephen Fry really do you?

What exactly is he going to do? Boggle the evil opressors with some clever play on words, then mince up and slap them to death?

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

I just got back from watching V for vendetta, I have to say it was a cracking film and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although the girl I was with did start crying, im not sure why though.

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

Clint Eastwood is directing two seperate war movies, both about the Battle for Iwo Jima, Pacific theatre, WWII. One is a tale of the Americans invading Iwo Jima, the second is a take of the Japanese defending Iwo Jima.

How freakin' cool is that?

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

I saw V last weekend. The permise was not well explained and was wildly improbable. How he was able to pull off his shit was never properly explained. Guy fu**ing Fawlkes? Who gives a shit. The only positive thing I can say for the film is that I got in for "senior citizen" prices. I lied about my age, though only slightly.

That does sound pretty ace. Though I am completely ignorant of the battle in the first place.

is it a sort of twinned movie (i.e. you might see characters running around and shooting or whatever in one movie, and playinga more main role in the other) or are they totally separate? There was a play/two plays in london if I recall written by Alan Ayckbourn, that worked on this principle. one theatre was the house, and the other the garden (they were back to back), and the actors used to wander between the two sets acting out their parts.

I notice Paul Haggis wrote the screenplays to both so that makes it possible, although flags is based on a book..... so I am not too sure.

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

One of the men who used to work here but has since retired, was a 16-year old Marine who took part in the invasion of Iwo Jima. He didn't find it a very entertaining segment of his life.

Re: Action buffs: two interesting looking movies out in the UK this year

Just got around to seeing V for Vendetta.
I don't care about the improbabilities of what V can do, as it's based on a comic etc. What does piss me off is the way, right near the end of the film, they suddenly realised "oh shit we haven't had a snog yet - quick, let's ruin the integrity of the film by shoving in a quick scene between the leads which serves no purpose".
That, and that a guy who is supposedly British said "levver". It's lever fs!

Other than that it was quite cool.

Because at the end the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben were blown up! I didn't like watching that at all

I saw it last night.

The american influences were inescapable I suppose, from the little "Oh here's a reminder about what the 5 November means we'll just tell you the brief story of Guy Fawkes" right up to the way all the English people seemed to say "bollocks!" as their second word. Apparently it's what we all do. Nathalie Portman's accent was a bit laughable too.

I was pleasantly impressed with this film. When I saw the Wachowskis were doing it a little bit of me died inside, as I thought they'd butcher the comic.

They did a very nice transition though. The original V for Vendetta comic was based around Thatcher-era (V for Victory etc) and was a dark extrapolation into what might become. The Wachowskis took the base ideas (terrorism, lack of personal identity) and updated them to our time. It still maintained some of the dated ideas, but kept modern technology also.

Having Stephen Fry in it is too.

Either your friend lied or the stupid idiot deserved what he got for faking his age.
