I did enjoy it but cringed at some of the visual effects, well it was nearly twenty years ago, but what made it interesting for me were the amount of modern day Hollywood actors who were obviously younger, you would not get them all together in todays film as the budget would not be there.

Why?

No one has seen this movie. It waste a good cast like aaron paul and micheal keaton.

Anethor movie based off of a video game. When will hollywood learn that you cant turn a video game into a movie.

All movies based off of video games, have failed. This is one of them.

T Bone Burnett recommended Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb by Laurie Johnson in Music (curated)

"I liked My Fair Lady, though I thought Dr. Strangelove was a much more adventurous, subversive film that year, and should have won the Academy Award — listen to me talking like a Hollywood insider — but I loved that musical. So it beat Dr. Strangelove which is one of the most important films ever to me."

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Killing Floor: (Jack Reacher 1) in Books

Jul 25, 2017

A little bit of Hollywood machismo with flaky plot

As interesting as this story began, the main character turned out to be the usual Hollywood leading man where he does all the work, is invincible and everyone else are either damsels in distress or subservient admirers.

While the most intriguing part was the crux of the motive which was well researched and explained, it was brushed aside too quickly and then the Bond-like action completely took over the plot.

The book was written too much like it was going to be made into a movie - which it did - with a bonehead like Tom Cruise acting as the main man - which he is. Better to watch the film than read the action.

You should try reading all of them. I made that my mission as at the very least they're quick easy reads, but boy was that a mistake. They're all so formulaic and predictable, and instantly forgettable.

You can blame the huge success of Fargo for this. Hollywood, even before that, had been moving more and more to exploiting movie properties on the small screen. But since Fargo married up critical acclaim to a good audience? All bets are off.

Here is a list of movie-to-TV projects currently in differing stages of production...
