Saw 4 was already made and released.

It's coming out on video soon.

Meet The Spartans
In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

The One Missed Call remake looks pretty standard in terms of J-Horror remakes but I'd still prefer Hollywood left Miike's work alone, even if it's not his best.

Oh, and did I mention Meet The Spartans?

Meet the Spartans
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale
The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon Emperor
The Happening (big fan of Shyamalan's early stuff, but come on, this movie is about killer trees and wind.)

Anything that has the number 4, 5 or 6 in the title.
Anything that is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer
Anything that is directed by Michael Bay.
Anything that stars Orlando Bland, Ikea Knightley and/or Ben Stiller.

That would have the makings of a good year in film!

Mama Mia!

Anything that has an exclamation point int the title and isn't being facetious should not be made.

Hey,

I for one do actually have a taste for bad movies(as long as it doesn't ruin an intellectual property dear to my heart). What can I say? I enjoy ogling car wreaks. I'm actually looking forward to Dungeon Siege and Mama Mia(ABBA rocks my socks).

However, I just saw the trailer for Meet the Spartan. I do have to admit it looks painful.

Quoted from Death Monkey
Diary of the Dead.


George Romero is done. I saw Day of The Dead and it was decent but I don't see how those films made him a legend. Maybe he was the only one doing that kinda stuff at the time but he made his money kind of like what they did with TCM.

Why isn't anyone mentioning Postal or Bloodrayne 3?

Let them make movies at will that have no lasting power because eventually they will figure out how to make a good film and just restart the franchise. (Like Batman and Superman and so on and so forth.)

They give the money back by hiring locals so it's all good.

Mine as well actually.  Nothing like a swedish pop super group to bring a smile to your face.  Fernando was my ringtone for a while.

I wouldn't say ANY musical.  I've heard absolutely great things about Sweeney Todd, and Hairspray was fun in its own way, as was Grease.

I am still however, fully against Mama Mia!

Exactly. The most frustrating thing about Romero is that he's hailed as some kind of master of horror, even by critics. He's a very mediocre director at best and as for his skills as a writer, I direct you to his Resident Evil script on this site. This is truly a case of The Emperor's New Clothes. People will go on and on about his shallow "social commentary", as if having on one scene where characters liken the zombies to consumers suddenly makes the whole movie "insightful" or "important". And look at Land of the dead. Critics rejoiced that he was making a "comment" on the Iraq war, which, even at that time, EVERY movie (including Revenge of the Sith) and Battlestar Galactica had done, and done better.

George Romero is the single most overrated filmmaker in the history of time, and someone needs to point out he's naked.

Sorry. I go into rant-mode when I talk about Romero.

As for Bloodrayne and Postal, I'm ignoring them and hoping they'll go away on their own.
