I just went and saw it in theaters... The pace really makes the 3 hours fly by as if it was 90 minutes.
Just watched "wolf of wallstreet". Must watch, similar to boiler room and other business related.
I'm downloading Boiler Room now. Not heard of it before, so thanks for the rec.
I was gonna download Wolf of Wall Street but apparently all the nude/orgy scenes are cut out so I'll probably just wait lol.

SNATCH
Just finished Escape Plan... Definitely a fun flick, though it's fairly stupid.
It's nice to see Arnold having fun again.

I just watch Frozen and Last Vegas, Frozen is actually better than I thought, it is like a musical but in cartoon. Last Vegas is like Hangover but with older people. 
There was a few laughs in this. Thought they had great chemistry.

I love it! People tend to forget that he can actually be quite good... Though he also seems to work a lot for the proverbial paycheck.
A friend of mine went to high school with him for a brief period of time (I don't know if they had classes together) but she remembered him as being a goofy kid.

I don't think he's that good of an actor to be honest. He's not totally terrible, but can be. I haven't seen much of his early stuff though. Roger Ebert went on about him as if he deserves to be mentioned along with the greats. Don't know what films that guy was watching.
Leaving Las Vegas is one. Adaptation is another.
He's definitely not one of the "greats", but he can be solid with the right script and right director. You know... When he doesn't just make a film to get a paycheck (which is 90% of his stuff now).
Apparently he was going to be the lead in Aronofsky's The Wrestler but the director asked him to step down when Rourke became available. I can't image the film being that great with him in it though.
No, the material definitely didn't fit him. Rourke was perfect for it.
He might not have fit that script, but he's definitely perfect for other projects. He usually picks characters that can be played by anybody, but his neurosis was perfect for Adaptation, for example.
His being over the top serves other movies perfectly as well. Him being the way he is, he pulled off both parts of Face/Off pretty well. The contrast he brought between the two was, in my opinion, hard to beat.
I think he went way overboard on the overacting in Face/Off.
Rourke was perfect for that role. Couldn't see Cage in it at all. I've only seen Adaption once and it was years ago. I'm not that crazy about Charlie Kaufman / Spike Jonze. I find them both a bit pretentious.

I haven't seen the latest Die Hard and pretty much made an executive decision to skip it after so many people said it was complete and utter shit. Die Hard 4 wasn't horrible, but it pales compared to the first and third (my favorites).
I actually ended up watching Lord of War last night... It's still pretty solid, too.
(Hurray for Nic Cage!)

anyone here has seen escape plan? it's a fairly good movie. it'll be much better if they make it a little bit more "detail" 'cause I feel like it lacks of something 
It's good, reminds me of action movies from the 90's. Which I miss dearly... It also means I'm definitely seeing Escape Plan soon.
Anyone see the last Die Hard? I haven't but I thought the previous one before that was good for what it was, but obviously doesn't compare to the first two.
Wasn't a big fan of either. Looper had a few interesting ideas but was largely a copy of many films that came before bit. I haven't seem Red 2 though yet.
