Favorite Movies

Hey lettyinreno,

First and foremost, welcome to the forums. Still a newbie myself, but it's great to see others getting involved in here.

Secondly, I have ABSOLUTELY no clue what you said in the last 3 posts.

It's got my attention and I would love to know what you mean. Some more clarification for the slower members (AKA. myself) would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, has no one said The Outlaw Josey Wales? One of my top favorites.

Dawn of the Dead (original and remake)
The Kingdom
Blackhawk Down (Can't wait for the Killing Pablo movie)
Saving Private Ryan
Shooter
The new Star Trek
Cloverfield
Dodgeball
I can't believe nobody has mentioned  TREMORS all 4
Punisher and Punisher: War Zone
Max Payne

Lettyinreno, to be honest, except for people in the business I don't think any of as we are watching give a crap if unemployed loggers in BC are getting paid below scale to portray people somewhere else, the scenery is awesome. I will agree with your complaint about action or "message" taking precedence over historical accuracy,but I'm in to history, most people aren't so much and probably don't give a crap about that either.

Andy Warhol's  Frankenstein  is a must see movie.

Uh, Tom...

That didn't help either. Still confused. I think it may be time to turn off the lights and pull up the covers.

The reason so many "American" movies are being made in Canada is because Bush clamped down on lumber imports so OUR loggers would keep their jobs. However it put most of British Columbia out of work so the only work available now is either growing pot (supposed to be THE BEST in the world) or catering to American film makers looking for locations with beautiful scenery. But ,since they are otherwise unemployed they work for wages lower than the US Screen actors guild scale.

Garand4life, Are they making a MOVIE of "Killing Pablo" ?  I'm still trying to find the book.
For the rest of you who may not know, it's another Mark Bowden book, about how they took down the Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar.

OK some scripts are great, but HOW they put "action" into how some "backround actors were treated" and have seen & done with "tudes"

This previous post is what I was working from.

Its a great read. I taught the relative of the Colombian presidential candidate he killed (Escobar, not Bowden). I apologize that I'm spacing on the name, it'll come to me when I'm done typing . Anyway, outside of being very vindictive for a good Christian person (shocking for a Colombian, I know), they provided a bit of back story as to how he got actually got killed. If they are to be believed, it was not the marksmanship of the Colombian police, but rather a "Somali Pirate Special" courtesy of Delta. Its a geat book. Try used on Amazon, you won't regret it.

PS Anyone who read the unedited version of the post, please don't quote it. I would say I am being paranoid, but this is Colombia, and I fucked up by posting what I did.

They are. Not a lot of information about it out now but I know Chris Pine who played Kirk in the new Star Trek movie is in it. Should be good just like Blackhawk Down since Bowden will be in the mix again.
