CowgirlsFan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Great information!! I can now plan my movies for this month. "The Master" is a can't miss with Philip Seymour Hoffman. "Trouble with the Curve" sounds fun. "Won't Back Down" sounds Oscar worthy. It has a message like "The Help". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britbillsfan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Dredd is a comic book movie. Seeing it this weekend, reviews I've seen have been very positive - far superior to the Stallone version in the 90s. Very violent, no-nonsense action flick.

And as for this month, it looks like this is the month of Bruce Willis and Amy Adams. I always get a kick out of seeing someone mentioned multiple times in these movie posts.

Britbillsfan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) As long as there is no Rob Schneider. I think this Dredd would have just shot him in order to put him out of everybody's misery. Tickets booked for Sunday.

Britbillsfan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Sunday? That's Game Day! Sadly I am away from my PC (or any PC) that will allow me to follow the game this week. Shocking, I know, but I plan to watch the other 15 regular season victories of the Bills this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglukes Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 So I take it you will also see "The Master"? I hadn't heard of that one until this thread, but it's apparently supposed to be good. 8.7 rating on IMDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I hadn't heard of that one until this thread, but it's apparently supposed to be good. 8.7 rating on IMDB. Paul Thomas Anderson is not for everybody. Most people have great things to say about "Boogie Nights" & "There Will Be Blood", but there is a very divided group when it comes to "Magnolia". I will definitely see "The Master". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Wow, I forgot The Master comes out this month....I will definitely get out to the theaters for that one...what a fantastic cast and one of my favorite directors. Fairport's own, and my pick for top character actor of his generation, Phillip Seymour Hoffman rarely gives a less than stellar performance. He also makes very interesting choices in terms of the scripts he likes...some of his indy films have been among my favorites (e.g. Love Liza; Jack Goes Boating). And even though I won't likely see it at the theater, Looper is right up my alley...can't wait to see that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britbillsfan Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Well Dredd was a pretty good movie. Could have done with a larger budget but it certainly was true to the original material. Good to see an action movie not even try for a PG13 rating as well, the bad guys were suitably brutal. And an awful lot better entertainment than the season's opener. Edited September 14, 2012 by Britbillsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I might see Trouble With The Curve. If for no other reason than I'm in love with Amy Adams. Among the three greatest things in the world are baseball, Clint Eastwood and hot redheads. I'll be there for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
