I quite enjoyed Stolen Identity III, if we're talking MadTV skits. Sasso really was the best part of that show.

I'm rewatching the recent American Godzilla from my local library, and man it still has one of my favorite little shots from any recent film: the Muto under attack at the airport as helicopters and planes start exploding, people screaming as the explosions chain react as the shot pans right, and then a giant foot comes down obscuring the Muto and explosions and silence.

Remember how the Divergent series just kind of petered out after the last one flopped? Well the previously announced TV series finally has a network with Starz developing it. Also unclear is who exactly is going to star in it as I seriously doubt any of the movie people would be willing to continue.

Shailene Woodley did not even know about the Divergent TV series plans, although her character is apparently not in most of the final book. She's in a HBO series now, anyway. I feel Divergent is a better set up for a video game.

Ammanas posted:This scene gave me goosebumps in the theater, it's when I thought 'finally, this goddamn movie is about to start' After giving you the first full, proper look at Big G himself, though. I still like 2014 Godzilla, personally. Generic Soldier Protagonist dude was boring, but I think it was a good call to use Big G sparingly. Keeps it impressive when he is on screen, especially in full view fighting the Mutos. What the movie desperately needed was making the human parts, when Big G isn't on screen, more interesting. Another subtle thing I picked up on this viewing was how Godzilla was quietly portrayed as intelligent. He kills both Mutos after clearly learning their attack pattern (male) or that they're too armored to just atomic breath (female), smartly turning the tables on both of them in turn.

This easily could have been achieved if Bryan Cranston's much more interesting character was not killed off to give Motivation Fuel for the god awful protagonist. The reverse would be a lot better imo, because Cranston could've carried the film even if that was the only change.

Funny that it seems like they're remaking Death Wish 4 more than anything in terms of tone, though. The first flick is a fairly grim reflection on street violence. The fourth has Charles Bronson firing a rocket launcher in front of the American flag. Just a, uh, little bit of separation there.

Honestly I don't hate the first Death Wish, it's grim but compellingly made. Those sequels are each beyond disgusting though in their own ways. Cannon Films. MAYBE they're going to do a thing where Bruce Willis is the villain of the movie but I mean, it's Bruce Willis, they're not. Detective No. 27 posted:Wasn't Death Sentence another adaptation of the book Death Wish was based on? No but this is an interesting tale. The Death Wish novel was written and was very popular, and so the Death Wish film was made and of course was very popular as well, as a one and done kind of thing. Death Wish's author, Brian Garfield, was always of the opinion that Paul Kersey (Benjamin in the books) was a disturbed person, and not a hero, so Garfield was disgusted with the general direction the first Death Wish film went in. He was so disgusted he wrote an entire sequel novel to Death Wish that went in a completely different direction, that novel was Death Sentence, which Cannon Films (who at this point was pumping out Death Wish sequels from 1982 on) actually was at one point going to adapt as a not-Death Wish-related film anyway with....MICHAEL DUDIKOFF AS THE LEAD (you can see him mention this a bit in some promo stuff of the time). The more recent Kevin Bacon film, Death Sentence, is an actual official adaptation of that second book, but like the original Death Wish it again differs significantly to the point where it's weird they even bothered "adapting" anything instead of just doing their own thing.

It's very different from the movie, let alone the sequels. Also I really love how the Finnish translation of the the series is somehow called "(An) Enemy of Violence". That's some "every criminal killed by Dredd is a cycle of violence ended" level poo poo right there.

It's esp bad since Cannon's thing was B level schlock like The Happy Hooker and The Happy Hooker Goes to Hollywood so they knew they were crud (outside of completely WTF rando poo poo like The Dream). This has a pretty well known actor and decent prod values from the trailer. What the hell were they thinking? Gonna be interesting to measure the gross (lol) on this versus something like Detriot.

That reminds me of another one and done vigilante flick that Cannon picked up to do a sequel to, The Exterminator. That one's crap but has some notoriety because it's very Cannon Films crap but there's also a lost work print cut of it. From what people have pieced together it's significantly different and even just knowing some of the alterations Cannon made, was probably pretty decent (still b movie schlock but still). Anyway it's funny because they re-edited the film late enough in the game that most of the shots and events in the trailer don't actually happen in the movie.

Death Wish III is a classic for all the wrong reasons, and while I've been on the fence about Bruce Willis for years now, this has finally pushed me over the edge. gently caress him. And gently caress Eli Roth for insisting that he's some sort of progressive feminist filmmaker. One only has to look at the difference between the first and second Hostel to see that he's completely full of poo poo. Want to know why? Only men get tortured and killed in the first one, and they're all clothed. Mostly women get tortured and killed in the second one, and they're mostly naked. So gently caress him, I wish that flesh-eating virus that inspired Cabin Fever had chewed his dick off.

Death Wish 3 also has the benefit of very clearly being a cartoon. Yes, it has a lot - a LOOOOOT - of problems with how minorities are portrayed, but having the villains be made up of Road Warrior understudies defangs it a bit. Having a white dude dress up as Trayvon Martin to gun down minorities in their front yard in broad daylight while "Back In Black" blares is something else entirely.

AV Club did a great survey of all five Death Wish movies and all of the massive problems inherent with the Cannon Films touch that pretty much read my mind about them. http://www.avclub.com/article/even-funny-death-wish-films-are-repugnantly-fascis-219675 They're right about Death Wish IV too. It still sucks but it's the most well-made of them, and actually has a pretty good idiotic twist towards the end that, in the hands of creators that gave more of a poo poo could have made it pretty interesting.
