Some great movies lie in wait for us in 2006

I'm interested in seeing this mutha: 'HOSTEL' (or judging by the trailer 'Hostile' would be a more apt title) I was not a fan of Eli Roth's previous film 'Cabin Fever', it went over my head and didn't affect me either way (a certain orger was dating Eli at the time of filming this movie too - little known fact!)

'Hostel' sounds more than a little homoerotic to me - It's a horror film about a bunch of American college studs who head for Slovakia (home of Bel Ami and Lukas Ridgeston, note!!!) and end up in a youth hostel (which looks strangely like the set from 1999's "The House on Haunted Hill"!) where they are stripped naked, tied down and tortured. Sounds like my kinda film I'm waiting for the gay porn version: "The Brothel." (The Aussie horror flick "Wolf Creek" looks much like more the same, only with a couple women to get out of the way before the maniac with the chainsaw forces the boys to 'do it' with one another before dying).

Anyhoom, view the scurryfying trailer by clicking HERE

There's also X-Men III which looks absolutely incendiary, not to mention apocalyptic - Sir Ian McKellan AND Patrick Stewart in the same film?
It gets my vote!

Oh, and let's not forget Pirates of The Caribbean II - Dead Man's Chest! TRAILER HERE

So...what are YOU excited about seeing on the big screen in 2006?

'HOSTEL' FUCK that!!!

No dude I'm serious I can't do many horror films. And 'HOSTEL'

CynthiasSocks said:

Come see Xmen III with me - we can ogle the man bulges

BananaCologne said:

Now THAT we can do! But don't try and trick me into 'HOSTEL' ...unless it's the gay version you were talking about!

Volver, the new Almodovar

Y'all are nuts!

1) The Fountain, by Darren Aronofsky

"...an odyssey about one man¹s thousand-year struggle to save the woman he loves. As a 16th century Conquistador, a modern-day scientist, and a 26th century astronaut, he searches for the secret to eternal life."

Trailer


2) Inland Empire, by David Lynch

"It's about a woman in trouble, and it's a mystery, and that's about all I want to say about it," he comments diffidently.

The title refers to the bleak residential area on the edge of the desert near L.A. -- the antithesis of the tony locale of his last movie "Mulholland Drive."

Info


3) Southland Tales, by Richard Kelly

"Set in the futuristic landscape of LA on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster. Boxer Santaros, an action star stricken with amnesia's life intertwines with Krysta Now, an adult film star developing her own reality television project, and David Clark, a Hermosa Beach police officer who holds the key to a vast conspiracy."

DynamicSavior said:

Evidently, Mel Gibson is making a summer release about the Mayan civilization and the end of days.

Sounds kinda interesting.

Byron said:

Oh wow - I forgot about Aronofsky's 'The Fountain'! That's gonna be awesome. Never knew about the new Lynch movie - i'm drooling in anticipation already.

Curious George...starring Will Ferrell!!!!!

Posted this list somewhere else last month, but I'm kind of curious to these ones:

Inland Empire
Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny
Munich
La Mujer De Mi Hermano
The Libertine
Goya's Ghosts
Nacho Libre
Zwartboek (mainly because some of it was shot near my home and the leading girl is a friend of my girl...)
Hostel
Paris, Je t'aime
The Children Of Men
Apocalypto
El Laberinto Del Fauno
Why We Fight
Tsotsi
The Science Of Sleep
V For Vendetta
The Fountain
Hoodwinked
Quelques Jours En Septembre
Lady In The Water
Stoned
X3
Pathfinder
Flushed Away
Southland Tales
Freedomland
Miami Vice
The Good Shepherd

And these just for the (unintentional) comedy and pretentiousness and to see if they're even worse than I expect them to be:

The Da Vinci Code
Flight 93
Mission: Impossible III
Find Me Guilty (It's Vin Diesel; a great source for unintentional comedy...)
The Beast
Sin City 2
Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction
A Scanner Darkly
Silent Hill
The Omen 666
Saw 3

Now I just gotta wait until it opens in this fucking backwater country.

Neversin said:

These all interest me to varying degrees - I really wanted to see 'The Libertine' but it seemed to come and go here in England with not so much as a whisper, which was a shame as it looked great.

Hostel you already know my thoughts about, The Science of Sleep' sounds interesting, Gondry being a plus. 'TheDaVinci Code' I know absolutely nothing about, so I want to see what all the fuss is about - besides, I'll watch anything with Sir Ian McKellan in.

Sin City II is a must, (I heard they were making 2 and 3 back to back?)

'A Scanner Darkly' i've been waiting forever and a day to come out... I'm dying to see that. 'Silent Hill' - well, I loved the game, but like every other game tie-in, it'll suck (although saying that, I really enjoyed the Tomb Raider movies) Looking forward to Hal() - that should be pretty awesome now Peter Jackson's on board.

'The Omen 666'

'Saw III' - yes please. Haven't seen Saw II yet, but loved the first one to uh...death.



HNY Sin.

This already played in the UK?! I loved the teaser/trailer for it and really want to see this...


Ian McKellan is too good for crap like this...
I finally caved in and read that piece of shit book after everyone around me (and even on here) praised it and said I had to read it cos it tackled topics that were in the same vein as "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and "Focault's Pendulum" (two books that are well researched and thoroughly interesting... I should have known better though after reading that "Angels & Demons" crap from the same bullshit writer...) but FUCK man, I felt fucking cheated of precious time reading that bullshit, amateuristic, non-researched melting pot of half theories presented as 1 sound theory and people are actually falling for the crap that guy writes... (And when this movie comes out a whole new breed of retards will be born who will try to act like scholars (with this book as their source, hilarious I know...) on the topics raised in the book/movie and will try to convince people that all the bullshit in that book/movie is real without reading/researching further into it...)
I say stay away from it and if you want well researched material on the topic start out with "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and work from there (Freemasons, societies of disinformation, Merovingians, Spear Of Destiny, Mayan prophecies, Vida's, the crusades and knights templars etc...) Or just watch the movie but don't get fooled by simple, bullshit explanations of various theories...
To me the writer of that book has some agenda against the whole christian system and tries to attack them with sloppy research and to me that makes him as detestable and ignorant as the ones he blames for all their conspiracies...
If you want to fuck with them beat them on their own ground instead of making up shit and connecting dots that aren't there and present them as facts and in the process fool people into believing "new" teachings that's as BS as what religious people teach...
So much for this rant...


As much as I love the graphic novel I just thought it just didn't translate well on screen and was just too campy and too boring...


I have given up hope on a decent adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story and those animated visuals don't help either...


I love the Silent Hill games but this is the same as last year's "DooM" this is just gonna suck ass... And well, HALO could very well become the first decent videogame movie...


Pathetically hilarious, isn't it? Why fuck with a classic?
As if they're ever going to find a freakier Damien...


The first one was pretty funny but, without spoiling the second one for ya, this one can only disappoint... (When you've seen Saw II you'll understand why...)


HNY to you to man, make it a good one!

if for no other reason....because parker posey's in it!

PANDURITO said:

Great! Any Almodóvar film is a big event to me.

BananaCologne said:

'The Libertine' received a limited release here in the U.S. and got mostly bad reviews. Entertainment Weekly actually gave it an 'F'.

Neversin said:

I kinda have to agree with you. Loved the 'Sin City' book and had really high expectations for the film, but when I actually saw it, the dialogue didn't sound right being spoken out loud by the actors. Like you said, it came off sounding campy. I thought the film looked great though.
