I might have to check that one out. My general opinion is that every boxing movie that can be made has been made, but I suppose I could be wrong.

The Terminal is about a guy waiting for somethign to happen, and thats exactly how I felt. Im usually not one to criticize movies for being too long or too boring, but Terminal did bore me.

Absolutely everyone should see Hotel Rwanda, fantastic.

FYI-

This movie is NOT about boxing. It is about a boxer.

It is really about assisted suicide.



That is my stand about truth in advertising

Must better that what I saw last night; "House of Flying Daggers"
"Hero" was much better, but still, the best one I've seen is;
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" And I'm not a big fan of these type of movies.

My brother-in-law has been in the boxing industry for over 20 years & he has real-life some stories, you can listen to him for hours talking about the boxing industry.

Well if you put out a movie about one thing then it really is about something else, you would expect some people to be upset.

I am one of those people. If I wanted to see a movie about politics or being able to kill myself I would see Hotel Rwanda or the Jack Kevorkian story.

Hollywood needs to be held responsible for their advertising and not telling people what this movie is about on purpose so they can spew their political ideals at me is unacceptable. Therefore people should be informed of this movies dirty little secret so viewers can be informed about where they are going to spend their $9.50.


Be entertained see "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle"

yah and i should always put spoilers in my movie threads because people like you just can't help but do it.

Really, your whole perspective is skewed, i thought it was fairly impartial one way or the other on that issue. You suspiciously sound like you heard about the movie from another party who has a vested interest against assisted suicide. Have YOU even seen the movie?

Yes, and it sucked. I hate the bait and switch. And that is what it is.

It's not like I told you "She's a He" That's what the movie is about.

yeah. i felt manipulated by it. also decried its lack of cohesion and seemingly random editing choices. (why describe skin ulcers but not even mention retributions to the "evil chick boxer"?)

One more movie added to the must see list...er actually thats the only one on it right now :confused:
Add Cinema Paradiso to that list. Italian film I just saw last night. Amazing film, beautiful cinematography, funny, sad, great story.

The Terminal was good, I definitely like Tom Hanks. Actually I watched some of Forrest Gump today.

I honestly don't know anymore.
"Ong Bak" was the best movie for the martial arts genre I've seen in a long time. The story was terrible, as was the acting, but damn if that guy knows his Muay Thai. And that's what we pay to get into one of those movies for, the actin. I practiced Muay Thai and am starting it up again, so that movie just motivated the hell out of me.
