@seinfeldfanatic I love the GDT Hellboy movies, I am thankful to him as that's how I became aware of the character. But the film wasn't released in the UK until September of 2009, rather than the April release in the US. So inbeween discovering the film was being made and it's UK release I had read all available comics and have been a fan for over 20 years.
Those first 2 movies are GDT's Hellboy not Mike Mignola's but they are both fun movies if not exactly like the comics.
The David Harbour Hellboy was all over the place and tried cramming too much stuff in one movie. A highlight for me was Stephen Graham playing Gruagach though so it had it's moments.
The Crooked man does Hellboy right though. If I were to nitpick he's missing the yellow eyes. Lower budget aside I thought it was fantastic.
[quote=seinfeldfanatic] every redneck in the woods area know all about the devil where they its normal to see someone like Hellboy to walkin around in the 1940s after World War II.
This is how it is in the comics he's out there doing his job fighting monsters often referred to as Mr Boy 🤣. Whilst monsters and demons are constantly telling him they know who and what he is. But he rejects and ignores that until he no longer can.
Snow White 2025 movie was total flop even in my country Indonesia.
The movie quickly got scrapped in 2 weeks after the premiere in 19 March 2025, only one cinema in my hometown which still give a chance for the minor schedule (only two times airing after evening). Looks like Snow White 2025 will be totally disappear after 3 - 5 days later from now.
Well, the movie was indeed really bad.
Bad acting, bad changes, bad storyline flow.
I only watched one time and it was indeed really bad like other people's review.
@Anti-Matter Never did see it, as I am not the target audience and really have no interest, but I'm not really surprised that it wasn't any good. Always felt like a cynical cash-grab exploiting children who'll drag their parents to see it.
It premiered here in Norway on March 21st and it's still holding on with quite a few screenings, though only in the smaller theatres. I think it's been moderately successful with the young ones, so I wouldn't be surprised if it will stick around a couple of weeks more. Big chance of it being shunted into a shadowy corner by "A Minecraft Movie", though.
@Zuljaras Yeah and he was great in one of my favourite westerns, Tombstone (which is finally coming to 4K later this year - pre-order is in). He will be missed
@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, that cameo was a bit rough. I'm not sure, but I don't think he worked much after the throat thing.
Got the steelbook pre-ordered through Amazon.co.uk, releases on April 28th. Haven't seen the movie in a long time, so I'm really looking forward to that.
Man, my movie memories of Val Kilmer went straight to Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (pulpy noir always appealed to me) which i'd probably not thought about for years and years. Then gently wandered to the Bad Lieutenant (remake?) which I know split opinions, but it was still a film that was important to me at the time in a way. Not sure how to put it, to be honest.
I do feel it is always good to discuss the things that resonated or at least made some impression on us at these times, though. As a way to remember the influence they may have had on us though their work.
When it seems you're out of luck.
There's just one man who gives a f*************ck

@Ravix He was absolutely terrific in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, which is a somewhat forgotten gem. Also a long time since I've seen. I haven't seen the Bad Lieutenant remake as I absolutely hated the Abel Ferrara original, so that title just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I know I should judge it on its own merits, but I really struggle with that one.
The teaser for the new "Naked Gun" movie has arrived. Ever since I heard they were making a new one with Liam Neeson, I've thought "Do we really need this?"
I'm still not sold, but the final gag in this trailer is pretty darn good
@FuriousMachine I was just about ready to roll my eyes out of my head entirely as initially your words reminded me that they actually made a Marlowe film a few years ago with Liam Neeson, which I very much didn't watch out of respect for the genre.
But fair play, for a purely goofball comedy, which is a whole other kettle of fish, this looks like it is at least funny - in a weird way that you wouldn't think would work, but it kind of does? I think. Maybe??? Might be a case of the funniest parts being in the trailer, in which case 2 jokes doesn't make a movie. But you never know
Will it make up for it reminding me the Marlowe movie exists. Probably not 😅
@AgentCooper Two smaller Kilmer films that I haven't seen in a long while popped in my head the other day: Spartan and The Salton Sea. I remember liking them a lot when seeing them for the first time, so I'll try to track them down and see if they hold up.
I know I don't follow film news anywhere near what I used to but this just caught me by surprise. When I saw the thumbnail I wasn't sure if it was an April's fools joke. I can't say I have high hopes it can recreate the greatness of the originals.
@BearsEatBeets It's funny, we were just discussing this on the previous page of this thread earlier today (hence the other Liam Neeson video shared by @graymamba above)
@GirlVersusGame Hopefully it will lead more people to Mel Brooks and hopefully it will be good, but I'm not overly optimistic. And how horrible it must be to live in a reality where only the 2014 Robocop exists! Good thing you fixed it for them
