Shoot Em Up and the movie where Clive Owen is a badass against Paul Giamati are good, unrealistic action movies as well.

Just watched Righteous Kill. It was average and I saw the "twist" from a mile away.

Taken's trailer seems so corny, though. Especially when he talks about his "skills".

I agree. It's Liam Neeson we're talking about here, he shouldn't even have to tell them.

Once you see why they take his daughter, there are no surprises afterwards. It's an okay movie but you cant help but enjoy watching Liam Neeson beat the **** out of like 100 people.

Just watched The Insider last night. I really enjoyed it. Personally, I thought it was Russell Crowe's best acting performance. Michael Mann did great job as usual and his style really fit the movie.

Crank was great but I liked Shoot em up more and even wanted, they curve ******* bullets and use exploding rats, that and Angelina Jolie's curved bullet through assasins standing in a circle was just epic.

I didn't like smokin aces but Shoot em up is probably my favorite action movie ever. That one shot where he's delivering the baby in the intro and shooting and all you see is the bullet casing falling on the woman's stomache just had me cracking up and it didn't slow down from there.

Shoot Em Up is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Not to mention it had good acting in it because, unlike a lot of the movies we've been talking about, there were good actors in it.

I loved that movie. Went home for the break, made my parents by it and showed it to everyone of my friends and even loves it. From my mom and dad to my degenerate stoner buddies.

Has anyone seen Sour Grapes? I've been watching Curb Your Enthusiasm and an episode mentioned this movie which Larry David did. I was wondering if it was any good.

Go vote for Jesus Christ: Bounty Hunter in the movie competition. Who wouldn't want to see Jesus blast some corrupt Catholic drug traffickers with a sawed of shotgun?

I voted. For some reason I was really drawn to the Ed Norton one.

So, I know video games usually translate in to terrible, terrible movies, but here's a list I stumbled upon that has a bunch that are supposed to come out in the coming years.
http://www.examiner.com/x-578-Video-...will-they-suck
Personally, I am getting my hopes up for God of War (even though the director is from the Rush Hour movies and X3, so it will be butchered), Bioshock, Kane & Lynch, and obviously MGS and Halo. I know, I will be let down horribly.
