Title: Who is looking forward to xXx with Vin Diesel???
Post by: THX on June 07, 2002, 10:40:50 PM
Yea me neither.  After the 2 big May blockbusters the only movie I have on my mind is Signs (http://bventertainment.go.com/movies/signs/index.html).  That looks so freaking cool.

And it\'s pronounced M. Night Shah-mah-lon

When I saw the name THX asking about XXX I thought you started smoking crack.  Who in the heck would watch this piece of crap by another bad actor.  Yawn.

Well I guess I shouldn\'t say he is bad since I only saw himn in about 15 minutes of F&F, but it was a very crappy 15 minutes.

I saw a preview for this, and thought it looked like complete and total ****.  However, it wasn\'t even the worst movie I saw a preview for in the 5 minute span of previews I saw it in.  It was followed by a preview for the movie "Like Mike" :rolleyes:

Not me.

Minority Report looks much better than those both.

Signs, is also a must see.

Ron Epstein (http://www.hometheaterforum.com/sneak/minority.html) says Minority Report is average.  Yea I know only your review matters but don\'t go in with extremely high hopes.

Pitch Black was a nice break from your shoot em up actions but the acting and writing made the movie fall short of being great.  Plus the antagonist seemed very B-movie.

Lol mm, Pitch Black might have been a decent movie, but  I wouldn\'t go as far as calling it good cinema. ;)

Signs
Minority Report
MIB II
Windtalkers
Sum of All Fears
Star Wars EP. II
Matrix Reloaded

All movies that I will watch this summer and I recommend others to watch (already saw Ep. II three times and I watched Sum of All Fears yesterday). XxX isnt on my list. Quite frankly Van Diesel can go shine his head in a bowling alley for all I care.  :cool:

Oh Spiderman is a great movie too :)

Not sure about the release dates on some of those movies but I will watch them opening day regardless.,

When was the last time you saw an action movie rated PG-13 that was good.

If we go solely by action, then here\'s a few:

Every James Bond movie is PG-13.
Independance Day is PG-13.
Mission Impossible 2 is PG-13

That\'s like over 15 movies right there.  ;)

Matrix Reloaded

All movies that I will watch this summer


Unless it\'s summer 2003, I don\'t think you\'ll be seeing this one. ;)

The bond movies tend to be alright and Mission Impossible was good.

Oh, wait, I found your problem.  You actually thought Independance Day was good.;)

But really thats only two series.  You can\'t count every one individual

As I said, if we went SOLELY BY ACTION, Independance Day was a good movie.  When the cities got wiped out, when they counter-attacked with that massive air battle, the flight into space and the detonation of the nuke inside the alien space ship.  Those are some very cool action sequences.

Besides, you asked when was the last time we saw a good PG-13 action movie, well, you didn\'t ask for how many, I just started naming off what I could remember off the top of my head.  Spiderman and LotR, which has already been mentioned, qualify as well. :)

A guy from Texas talking about Debbie Does Dallas... The irony is overwhelming.

Windtalkers...don\'t think I\'ll be seeing that.  Cage has done like 3 good movies in his entire career.  I want to see Austin Powers Gold Member.  Thats gonna be great.
