[Ickabod]

Makes me long for summer 2012

 

[vxicepickxv]

That was enlightening, amusing, and also informative. Good job Movie Bob. Keep up the good work.

 

[Draconalis]

I'm going to sleep for the rest of the year

So many remakes recently... actually, maybe that's just a normal thing, but I sort of shut it out because I never see any of them.

 

[Nikolaz72]

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was made perfectly and does not need to be remade before 10 years has gone by at least. Sure its a nice story but if at best this is a dub with different actors. At worst it changes the story completely. And you stated somebody who made films you like. You didnt state someone who's made good remakes in the past (As far as im concerned, I mean I dont know the guy)

 

[Casual Shinji]

You didn't just use Benjamin Button as a positive example of David Fincher's work, right?!

Anyway, nice to see that Tarsem Singh is making another crazy visuals movie.

 

[TWEWER]

That's all well and good but...still no American release date for Redline.

"The grimmest, darkest, most depraved movie that everyone in your mom's book club goes to see."

This is the best thing I've heard come out of Bob's mouth. And yeah, it's also probably the most I've agreed with him. This movie is almost certain to be fantastic.

I do wish he'd said a tiny bit more about some of the other films, especially Straw Dogs, because I always get antsy when something like that, especially something starring one of my favorite actors, gets remade... Does he have some insight I don't? I don't know... he wouldn't tell me We'll see.

 

[Harveypot]

Will see Sherlock Holmes and the Muppets and probably Puss in Boots and Happy Feet. Good preview, Bob!

 

[dex-dex]

well this will get me to got to a theatre at least more then twice before the year is up.
and I like Brad Bird. The Incredibles was so awesome!

 

[Marter]

No mention of Dream House or Contagion is disappointing.

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Yo Bob, you forgot "The Game".

Just saying...

 

[guise709]

Heh liked the David Fincher bit, but no review of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark? Damn...

 

[PsychedelicDiamond]

Silly MovieBob, Fincher didn't direct Case Closed.

But seriously: Not really any movies i'm particulary looking forward to. Rum Diaries could be nice, i never read the novel but i like Hunter S. Thompson. Sherlock Holmes 2 will probably be pretty okay. I mean, the first one had really nice visuals. Girl With The Dragon Tattoo... well, i never read the book but apparently it's a pretty big deal so i'm probably going to watch it.

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

When you list them like that it sure does seem to be a lot of sequels/prequels/spin-offs

 

[Gxas]

My buddy was ecstatic about Sherlock Holmes 2. I'm not thrilled. He asked me if I didn't like it, and, really, I agree, Bob. That movie had absolutely zero memorable moments in it, from where I stand.

I don't see how a sequel will do any differently. Especially since I know I won't be seeing it.

 

[Stall]

Wait... John Carpenter's The Thing isn't the "first one". It's technically a remake of the 1951 film The Thing from Another World.

 

[Ellen of Kitten]

Much love Bob, much love.

Also, I'm a fan of the Underworld movies... probably has everything to do with Kate Beckensale and skin tight cat suits.
