BlackHorse Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) Depp is noteworthy, no doubt, I thought I had seen his full range then he graces the world with Jack Sparrow. He may have another ace up his sleeve yet.I actually like Will Smith just fine. I just think Will Smith is to James West what Brad Pitt would be to Shaft. Of course, put a gun in Bruce Willis' hands and I am gleefully entertained for the better part of two hours. You know, I don't know why, but I forgot about Bruce Willis. He probably would be a good match for a new Bullit movie. I mean how many "tough moody cop" roles has he done already right? I didn't say so but with respect to Will Smith I did disagree about Richards opinion that he doesn't do angry well. I thought he did angry quite well in the I Robot scene where they tried to kill him in his car in the tunnel. But that's me. Also, frankly I thought he did pretty damned good in Hitch. He's no Denzel Washington, but he's a good actor. By the way all, a movie that I saw recently and highly recommend is "We Are Marshall" with Matthew McConaughey.

Should never have been done. Also, that scene in I Robot, just didn't have me. Of course the whole movie was terrible anyway, maybe it would be a better scene in a different movie entirely. We Are Marshall is on my list. I didn't think it was worth seeing in the theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHorse Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 We Are Marshall is on my list. I didn't think it was worth seeing in the theater. I didn't see it at the theater either, rented it, then went and bought a copy I liked it so much. It's a true story as I'm sure you know. Basically if it wasn't for a young man named Nate Ruffin, there probably wouldn't be football at Marshall University today. Great movie, very emotional, check it out.

jpd80 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) Yeah, but Willy Wonka is a bizarre character. I mean even Gene Wilder managed to make him creepy. Jack Sparrow was the first well rounded character he played. That's why I say he's almost a character actor. From What's eating Gilbert Grape to Benny and Joon, his first big hits apart from Edward Scissorhands, he was the 'weird' kid, and man he has taken that to the bank over and over and over. I liked him in "Nick of Time". http://www.deppimpact.com/nick.htmlThe clock is ticking for Johnny Depp in Nick of Time, a twist-filled, race-against-time thriller directed by John Badham. And indeed it is a race, filmed in "real time" so that onscreen events unfold minute by nail-biting minute as they would in real life. No sooner does accountant Gene Watson (Depp) arrive at L.A.'s Union station with his six-year-old daughter than he's plunged into a nightmare. Two shadowy strangers (Christopher Walken, Roma Maffia) separate Watson from his little girl, slap a gun into his hand and present a devil's bargain: kill a top government official before she leaves a nearby political rally... or never again see his beloved child. Director: John Badham Cast: Johnny Depp, Courtney Chase, Charles Dutton, Christopher Walken, Marsha Mason, Peter Strauss, Gloria Reuben, G.D.

Edstock Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yeah, but Willy Wonka is a bizarre character. I mean even Gene Wilder managed to make him creepy. Ah, the Wonderful World of Wonka. They should have put Willy Wonka in the Wild, Wild West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Ah, the Wonderful World of Wonka. They should have put Willy Wonka in the Wild, Wild West. I read a lot of Roald Dahl's stuff as a kid, and it amused me to no end. Don't know that I'd buy any of it for my nephews, though... I think the whole thing about turning his books into movies is that they're so much better in your imagination, I mean so much of that stuff can't be depicted even on a movie screen with special effects as well as it appears in your imagination as you're reading the story.... If they put Willy Wonka in the Wild Wild West, he'd have to be played by Clint Eastwood: I'd pay money for that... "Before you buy that Wonka Bar you gotta ask yourself one question, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 A Bullitt remake is coming. The rumor is that Brad Pitt will star. and seeing as they are using a Mustang to replace "KITT" (pardon me while I laugh my ass off ...that show just sucked!!!) I can only assume that the new Bullitt movie will have an '09 Camaro??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Tell me this isn't a serious attempt at a Knight Rider remake. If so, this is horrific. K.I.T.T. cannot be a Mustang. It should've been a black Corvette Z06. Public will not buy this and certainly not the fans of the TV show. The movie studio better keep their investments low, because a movie featuring this car will definitely tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadamaster Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hmmm....if Hollyweird could have waited a little while longer, a new Camaro might have made a more passable KITT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
