How James Cameron Put Down a Mutiny on the Set of Aliens
haha
...Seriously, that is nooot a healthy relationship... it's just plain creepy. And the books are full of purple prose; the writing's almost laughable. Then there's the fact that Bella's almost certainly a self-insert--Meyer herself mentioned that Bella listens to the same music as her or some shit like that. Even guy who plays Edward in the movie thinks it's weird--he read the book(s) and described them as being like Meyer's "wet dream". I USED to like Twilight... then I got disillusioned.
ure funni loool
awwww no u've ruined it for me lol
GAY!
I have never read the books and i saw the movie some time ago... I liked it, it was as you say decent. And it had some good effects in it like the running and stuff.
Some parts of the movie i thought were funny. And i got them after i read the book. They interpreted well.
Everybody has their own vision of a character in a book.
I didn't like Harry Potter at all. Because i don't like daniel radcliffe. But that doesn't mean it sucks....
So freaking horrible. You are ridiculously clueless to what a good film is.
twilight was GREAT at sucking ass
Harry Potter wasn't released late based on not being able to meet the original premiere.
Maybe Twilight should have done that however, maybe the movie wouldn't have came out so shityt.
the books were good, don't push it to far.
And all the wemos suddenly found a love for it anyway
Spiderwick Chronicles, Jumper, 10,000BC, Wanted, Harold and Kumar 2... and so on at least another 10 on this list that are actually shit. Indiana Jones crystal skull was a HUGE disappointment... incredibly boring
I'll be downloading them off of PlentyofTorrents.com the BitTorrent search site. :D
Us brits ROCK lmao joke
I LOVE AMERICANS there accents are cool
but can become annoying wen the whine alot...... wait thats jus everyone
I also feel bad for you little guy. Nothing better to do than troll this thread. You poor thing. You must be tired. How about some milk and cookies? A nice warm blanket? Does that sound nice? Well too bad. Go back to your country if you want food and shelter.
I grew up on COPS, so the jerky camera angles don't create a feeling of drama or suspense in me, like they do in some people. Neither does screaming. I find myself annoyed by the people in the trailer rather than interested in them or their situation. There's nothing to grab onto...wait, what is their situation?
I think people are just jumping at the idea of screaming, things blowing up and lots of ambiguity. Reminds me of 9/11, which I'm sick of hearing about as well.
Are you American? You "grew up on COPS", so must be. You should act like it.
Maybe if YOUR mom, dad, husband, wife, etc. were in one of those buildings, you would feel differently.
Either way, stick to the movies, kid. You obviously enjoy living in TV's Fantasy Land, where life turns out OK.
And AJ - that comes out December 14th. It's not a 2008 movie at all...
By the way, awesome site you're running, i'm checking it out about 5-10 times a day!
indiana jones for one..shia labeouf. =]
harry potter...and i cant wait for cloverfield.
i do agree it was the best damn teaser trailer ever!!
Great cast too (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Samantha Morton). But maybe that's only exciting to me.
Dylan & Alex: Soderbergh’s recent efforts have been lackluster
"All the Boys love Mandy Lane" didnt make the list?
That movie looks amazing!
And that's another thing. People that tend to agree with a topic don't tend to post because "I agree" is a boring viewpoint. Conflict is interesting. :)
Jessica: I only listed GOOD MOVIES :) I'm actually surprised you didn't attack me over my Paris Hilton comment.
now regarding the article... seems that theres a lot going on next year. Hope that its not as disappointing as this one so far.
- Vantage Point
- Burn After Reading (Coen bros, Clooney, Pitt)
- Frost/Nixon (Ron Howard's post-Watergate)
- Jurassic Park IV
- Factor X (Ridley Scott's BTK serial killer movie)
And it looks like Old School 2 got pushed?
I was surprised that it wasn't on the list.
Batman Begins
Indy 4
Jumper
Wanted and
Iron Man (definitely!)
Another smaller film I'm looking forward to is The Sweeney, based on the UK TV series starring Ray Winstone as Regan (spot-on casting if there ever was) ...
Please, please please - let there be lots of high-speed chases with the Sweeney driving around in MKI Ford Granada's unnecessarily handbrake-turning around every corner and Regan shouting the classic "Put your trousers on, you're nicked!" or "Shut up you slag, this is my manor ..." etc. etc.
:)
Is there a release date for JP4 yet?
-Looks like "I am Legend" with Will smith comes out THIS year, I was worried at first until I did some research.....
Well done.
Thanks Muckraker, I actually spent way too much time writing this thing, probably 15-20 hours over the course of three days
Zack, JP4 is not officially greenlit yet, and isn't likely to go into production nefpre the strike, so if it happens: Summer 2009 at earliest.
Jessica: Paris Hilton won't ever be great, you'll see... :)
shame.
:)
lol but hopefully this means i'll have my jurrassic park tattoo by the time it comes out
Thats not very informative.... well i guess it is a little bit, if i wanted a roster of 2008's line up.. but to attach "Must See" to "55 Movies" is kind of borked.
Nice article, keep on bloggin,,,
I worked with John Schneider (Bo Duke) on a film call "Conjurer" filmed in Georgia last March. He was talking about this movie that he and Tom Wopat (Luke Duke) were going to be working on a movie called Trailer Trash next year.
I'm assuming that this is the same flick. Everything he told me about the movie sounded great. I just thought it was funny that he and Tom would be working together again.
MY GIRLFRIEND HAS ALREADY PLANNED OUR WEEKENDS.
and does anyone know anything new about the Halo movie?
Titanic 2
Its coming out Summer 2008.
I Really want to see this movie.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
1. Sakal Sakali Saklolo - 68.3m
2. Enteng Kabisote 4 - 66.6m
3. Shake Rattle & Roll 9 - 41.6m
Gosling was alledgely quite pissed at the decision, since he had already started gaining weight, letting his beard grow and cleared his schedule.
thank god you didn't mention rambo sylvester RETIRE ALREADY (but i'm probably gonna end up seeing it anyway to see if it's as bad as the rocky sequels).
indiana jones... are they making a fifth and sixth???
2008 should be a good year for movies (hopefully...)
Yes, and we all remember M. Night Shyamalan's recent efforts...
like harry potter 6 and narnia.... thanks to this site!!
But not as complete as this one.
My top 10:
1. Cloverfield
2. Jumper
3. Hellboy II - The Golden Army
4. National Treasure 2 - The Book of Secrets (Comes in 3 days)
5. Harry Potter 6
6. Rendition
7. Iron Man
8. Vantage Point
9. Batman - The Dark Knight
10.Spiderman 4 (If it comes out in 2008)
Can't wait to see all of the movies!!
Ciao! (Patrick from Holland)
LoL
give me some scary!!!!!
i wanna see it !!!!!
Right no more debate. I swear, my lips are sealed, Tongue tied, mouth shut, zip, nada, finito! love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Email me film buffs for chat and ideas, you must be over 18 as i curse all the f***ing time. The conversation must be film related. No funny stuff......unless your an6ft+ attractive blonde 21+. And in case i don't see you again.......good after.......a f*** it! lol
Used with accuracy, the composition delivers a powerful intensity that suits that particular film. It is used at sporadic parts in the film to intensify the specified imagery. If i say indiana jones you could hum the music it's so well known. Exciting music that enhances the feel of the film.
Take away the music to Jaws or any good film and you will find it has less impact. Score can carry the audience, engage them emotionally along with the film dialogue and visual imagery. I'm not talking about big emotional tear jerking music trying to exaggerate the feel of a film. I'm talking specific music for specific imagery enhancing the scene and impact of the film.
The fact is we will listen to types of music depending on our feeling at that moment. We won't listen to music if we don't feel like it (feel). It depends on our moods (mood). Right i'm off to listen to my ipod and in case i don't see you again...good afternoon good evening and i'm right!

That´s all folks. BYE!
Watch for 'Geert Wilders' on the internet
That guy (who is gonna be killed soon, I think,
because he thinks the Koran should be forbidden)
is nuts! He's gonna make an Anti-Moslim movie,
but no tv-station dares to show the movie, so he
has no other option to put it on the internet...
I wouldn't be surprised if he is dead tomorrow!
Ciao! (Patrick from Holland)
2:I agree with Dano even tho wat he sed is making my head dissy he has a point even tho some of u may try to disagree and i dont blame you you lyk the movie and lyk i sed for no.1 we shud keep it to ourselves...and finaly 3:Y arnt there Naruto movies out here in NZ?!?! i mean i think we may of had some DBZ but y not Naruto im a huge fan of it and im sure ther are others out here in NZ that agree with me its kinda sad -.- iv had to watch them all on youtube well thats all i have to say sory 4 making it so long its now 11:05 and im going to bed goodnight and sleep tight everyone CYA XOXO

"National Treasure 2" was alsome too.

And in case i dont.....shit i already done that part
:-)......................................................................................................................:-) lol
as for me, im shocked you left off burn after reading. after the AMAZING no country for old men, im excited for anything the coen brothers do. although i guess when you first posted this, no country hadnt even come out....soooo....
I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on ...............
Titanic 2 looks rubbish, so unrealistic, and no story behind it at all.
Leo done a poor film
Jurassic Park IV-2009
Cant wait till The Hobbit comes out, that will be awesome and needs to go on the 2009 list.
There will be an Indy Jones 5, he tries to find the tomb of Genghis Khan and also searches for the Holy Cross, of which Jesus died on.
Should be really good, im glad all these old films are having sequels, they seen Star Wars and think they can do it.... Rambo rules, Sly is an awesome actor
Anyway saw cloverfield 2day!
Its amazing!
A bit of a slow starting but wen it starts its great!
Hope theres will be a next 1 XD

'Fanboys' release date is uncertain, 'The Lovely Bones' is now coming out March 2009, 'Star Trek' had been moved to May 2009, but this was written in October 2007, so it isn't anyone's falt.
It's gonna be a good year for movies!

They changed its release date. Now it will come out April 3, 2009

I SAW THE MOVIE.
FOR THE TRIVIA SECTION, THERE IS AN ERROR. HAROLD AND KUMAR DO END UP IN AMSTERDAM. HAROLD FINDS HIS 'ELEVATOR GIRLFRIEND' MODELING AND THEY HOOK UP, AFTER KUMAR GETS HIS GIRL BACK.
In Bruges was brilliant too.
Can't wait for Harry Potter, even if The Deathly Hallows is going to be split into 2 films.
And The Dark Knight - Heath =[
And I´m about to see many many more. I must see Star Trek!
I hope it comes out this year, but I don't think so. I think it's gonna be 2009.
Greetings from Rotterdam
Movie Watcher ;)
and im probably going to see iron man narnia today:D:D:D:D
the ones that ive seened were very good
good job whit the list
its gonna be HUGE
it comes out December 12th
that should be like NUMBER 1!! its going to be awesome!
im like obsessed with the series lol
And in case i don't see you again, im out of the country! Feel free to email me short scripts or ideas you may have so i can steal your ideas, thanx
Any prosecution will be subjected to bouts of laughter in the courts and thrown out!
Kind Regards
Dan :-)
its ok but the monsters are kinda lyk some of the ones out of evolution bad but ok.
the ending was REALLY annoying!!
But some of u may think diferent
The story is constantly moving forward at a pace and the whole idea of mercenaries becoming the hunted is brilliant. The marching music theme throughout the film ads to the pace and along with the punchy dialogue and presence of the alien keeps the audience engaged and focused.
Your directed to believe that this group of people cannot fail with their first encounter against the local malisha. Only when the alien is fully viewed in action and takes out big jessie ventura do you feel their fuc*** lol
And dont even get me started on Aliens......Amazingly crafted right throughout. Stunning!
Check out a film called The Circle on DVD Sam. I have been told it's tops. You can find it on the World Cinema shelf in all good film stores and some bad ones too lol
Is the title, 'Elferly goes to film school?
:) :) :)
Right i'm off, and in case i dont see you again......good afternoon good evening and.............................shake shake shake.............shake shake shake.........shake that booty.............shake that booty!!
Oh, okay...
I had a movie day today:D I was really bored, so I watched Indiana Jones, which came out much better than I expected, 10000BC, which is really good. I had that bad feeling I should expect something like Gibson's Apocalypto..ewwwh
I watched Jumper a week ago and it's...it's not that bad. And 21's waiting to be watched...hmm
I really want to see Wall-E, it's coming out in few days, The Fighter, because Aronofsky is genius and I'm curious about Depp in Shantarah...And of course Harry potter:D
and go see film in making it called Gilted Generation it look good
Michael Moore has another interesting film out. Might want to check that out, its based on a true story :-)
I'm sure he puts most money into his franchises at this stage. The advertising tried to hype the film with the backing of the Sixth Sense and Signs, but left out the bad bad follow ups (The Village, Lady in the Water etc etc)
The film was so bad it was comical! There isn't enough room to detail why so i won't. Ego's would suffer.
Feel free to write me about your opinions of this film!
TWILIGHT.
and as far as i can see many agree.
so a movie similar to that whole "a character holding the camera throughout the whole movie"thing,
i reccomend the all time classic the blair witch project.
and what bout TWILIGHT?that's the most talked about movie right now and it doesn't even come out till december 12.
like P.S. I love you,it wasn't an all time greatest,but i haven't come across a movie like it.
Jumper was good,it could have left things a little bit more resolved though,
juno,was one of a kind,
harry potter is way better read than seen,
they're ok i guess,but they recieve so much crap,and it's kind of hard not to when it's put into a film like that.
but the books r just better.
and how come TWILIGHT isn't on here????
p.s. i wasent expecting another harry potter movie lol
.. thank goodness, ,now i cud watch this in ActioN!!!
ITS AS MUCH A MUST SEE AS HARRY POTTER IS!
twilight.
my friend has the whole series so she got me reading the series! :)
the new harrry potter books you should really read em!!!!!!!!!!
eh i almost forgot cloverfeild is such a good movie you should watch but if you hate nauseating rides then you probably should just watch some HAPPY ELF MOVIE.
n how bout cloverfield 2 i cant wait for that i luved the first one n cannot wait for da second! n how bout inkheart i herd its preety goood n i am reedin the book noww!!!

It seems like people don't get that this list was created in 2007 to let people know that out of the hundred+ movies that had been announced for release in 2008, the author(s)/administrator and his/their sources had identified 55 that (based on write-ups and possibly trailers that were available at that point) seemed like they would be the top movies.
It seems like he/they were careful to select movies from different genres, so not every movie on the list is likely to appeal to everyone, but there should definitely be SOMETHING for everyone. If you have really broad interests perhaps you would like them all.
The fact that not every movie of 2008 was on the list should come as no surprise as this list was specifically designed to be the 2007 PREDICTION OF THE MUST SEE MOVIES FOR 2008.
Maybe last fall he/they didn't know about your favorite movie yet. Maybe he/they didn't think your movie seemed like it should be on the list of the TOP 55 MUST-SEES.
Give 'em a little credit for taking the time to put this together. It was very helpful in my quest to think of my own favorite movies for the year so far. All of your comments regarding movies you would have liked to see on the list were helpful as well, but it seems so rude and aggressive to attack the administrator who did us all a favor by compiling a list to begin with!
I suggest that we all quit asking 'em to change the darn list and instead just tell him what would have been on our personal list . If they change the list now, it would no longer be a representation of their 2007 movie predictions! How about comments like...like "I don't know what trailers you watched last year, but I saw movie A and I thought it sucked..." or "Wow you missed it by a mile when you left Movie B off your list because it rocked! Better luck next year..." Get the drift?
Obviously, scads of people think Twilight should've been on the list, but it wasn't--get over it. Recommend it to the other posters, instead of chastising the administrator for not doing it in the first place! I don't want to be rude and bossy, but after reading this entire thread it seemed like a huge number of people didn't understand the original topic.
I also noticed that there has been a lot of cursing and maybe you would, maybe you would say the same thing with your 10 year old daughter/niece/neighbor sitting next to you, but keep in mind that they are just as likely to be on here reading about movies as you and show a little courtesy. Obviously, some posters have identified themselves as early - mid teens. I'm no prude and my inner tuck-driver (no offense truck drivers) comes out at times, but this just seems like a place where I need to keep that in check--save it for your porn chat rooms and singles venues, etc.
Maybe, I should have named myself Bossy-gal, but I would love to come back and find this awesomely informational site a little more enjoyable to read. I thought that maybe if everyone understood the concept and intention of the site, it might diffuse some of the angry comments and uninformed remarks.
(Note to Administrator: Please edit my comments if necessary and/or, post a correction if I have misrepresented your intentions)
not out in 208 but still a sav movie
and i would recomment it 2 everybody
peace ou!!!!
wah wah wah wah
great list
Knowing i wouldn't get my money back i ended up sneaking into another film to make back my money. However the film i snuck into was another viewing of 10,000BC, at which point i gave up! 'Let the right one in' looks seriously good.
Release Date: Fall 2008 (estimated)
Trivia: The Weinstein Company greenlit the project based solely on the title."
Of course they did. They're Jews. They'll do anything that is vulgar and offensive to Christian sensibilities. Nevermind that Smith is probably a lapsed Catholic.
Awsome films non the less, Batman Dark Knight ftw !!
Ooooh-Rahhh.
BATMAN DARK KNIGHT BIG RESPECT!
Chief out
but alot of people watch it.
I've already put my name down on the ticket list for Twilight 2!

7. Twilight
8. Twilight
9. Twilight
10. Twilight
I hear the DVD release will have loads of deleted scenes that didn't make the cut. Im buying two copies in case i lose one!
I suggest watching the entire list! It is on the tenth film you realize your brain has receded in evolution compounded by the inverted swinging from the ceiling throwing bananas at the television!
Such was my decline in cerebral independence i could of sworn i witnessed space and time being warped in my room as a vampire had it away with my HD screen!
I was however calmed by the constant bombardment of focused media thereafter and aligned myself once more to the sociological movement.
I have called my friend in the states who has guaranteed the first copy of it's release.
Chief Out :-)
Sorry just had to get my anger out on all you people who obviously wouldnt know reality if it came up and hit you in the back of the head.
Let the right one in, now there's a Vampire movie that works on many levels.
2012? Can we trust Roland Emmerich again after 10,000BC - (Biblically Crap).
I dunno, he did direct Independence Day. We know his genre by now. I will check it out on it's release. If i see two separate films on the one screen again with failed graphic real time footage being a mile from seamless i will punch whoever is sitting beside me!
Who wants to go with me to see it?
LOL
Note: The writer of this piece has never punched another innocent bystander without good reason!

"TWILIGHT" ITS THE BEST MOVIE EVER
I think NEW MOON will be better cause it is directed by someone else
calm down hotties ;)
But they'll probly put it up here sooner or later :|
and omgsh new moon november 20 2009 CantWait.!! =]
Prom Night- wasnt that good =//
Chronicles of Narnia prince caspian- was forced by school field trip lol wasnt that bad though
Get smart- REALLY GOOD i loved it
Iron Man- it was good
twilight- I was in love with the twilight series the movie was pretty good to not a fraction as good as the book though
the dark knight- saw it on dvd it was good too
Go see "Let the Right One In" if you want a good vampire film people, trust me
i am the Chief after all!
The wrestler is as good, if not better than all the movies on that list. 55 chances, and you couldn't get it right.
"THE DARK KNIGHT"
The brilliant score never over or under scored but aided the movement and the rhythm of the cuts. It was well edited scored shot and acted. The score maintained a drive in the film, almost a push. It was a well used undertone including the demonic internal combustion ensemble used to articulate the jokers internal mindscape.
I haven't given this film analyses in depth. I wont. I will leave it as it is, an epic where all the components were coherently pulled/crafted together creating a film that courts grandeur and surely best film of the year.
It should not be viewed in the context of another commercial flick even though it's purpose has this residue greasing it's roots and why not, business is business.
There has been too much invested and well executed material to relegate this film as a commercial hit only.
Therefore it should be accompanied by that solidified globe oscar for best film and best director.
Chief Out
What we have here is something that needs to be addressed. This is for all directors who have lost the plot and are looking for words of comfort...... "ALL STEPHEN KING NOVELS DO NOT MAKE GOOD MOVIES"!
The specialist horror writer himself must of laughed his ass off at this diabolically inept tacky cheap tragic attempt at a novel to film transition.
I have some sympathy for Darabont (director of SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION), one of the greatest films ever printed on 35mm. So for this reason i will stop here and spare the director anymore inescapable tragic insights into what went wrong. There is simply too much to say. STUDENTS SHOULD BE MADE WATCH THIS FILM AND LEARN HOW WRONG A FILM CAN GO AND WHAT YOU COULD DO TO TRANSFORM A DOWER DISASTER OF A MOVIE INTO A PALATABLE FLICK!
Finally i would like to end this piece on the following.
Why and how did the director (Darabont) not realize what he was filming was shockingly bad and was not what he had planned? Surely he checked out the 3D CGI with the company before the beginning of shooting making sure that this material (which the film heavily relied on) was up to current standards and passable in the context of current CGI.
Alien was made in 1979 and still holds up to anything that is out there. Artistically created directed and acted, a mammoth SCI FI film without all the CGI that works on every filmic level. It brings a thick cloud of shame over this tripe called 'the mist' that robbed people of their money.
It took me a few weeks to get over this and trust my senses again but i got there when i watched Alien and Aliens respectively.
I wonder will their be 'The Mist 2 revenge of the diabolical"
LOL
I know prices have soared over the years but the point i made about the (first alien film) is, no CGI. Just artists using their talent and imaginations. When you don't have this in your locker then you run into trouble and the same regurgitated tripe keeps ripping people off.
Twilight was a strategically well marketed poorly made film aimed at kids and teens, but hey film is a business too for sure.
P.S.: You guys so don't know how to write! Check for mistakes GOD!!!
i for one will not be watching or reading the books or films... the acting omg the acting was so bad , the speacial and graphic effect are so bad like somehting form the 1930 films which i do perfere. i really think they had the budget of so much but went out and got pissed and spent most of it so they must have to of cut back on every thing even acting ..

twilight is the best
The only good thing about the film on the whole is it's well marketed advertising. That my friends is the true winner here.
i no much about film but i no what bad and this it bad for sure
You could have a crew on a transport ship discovering this alien planet. They are shot down and discover this predator alien race. Here the humans discover that the predator allows the aliens to grow allowing for the hunt. The humans need to escape the planet and avoid both races!
This would seem the most natural line to follow. Going back to the start is risky (even for ridley scott. Their could be so much scope if we seen the home of the predator and worked the script from this premise.
Just my humble opinion which happens to incorporate genial qualities.
I thank you
Chief out
The first two brilliant atmospheric installments, and a third that held its own, the alien series took a turn for the worst. This didn't have to be the way even though it is hard to maintain such a high level (compared to the first two) working from the same paradigm.
In essence the rest are easily forgotten and relegated to commercially motivated tripe!
Alas tis time to reboot the franchise with the visual brilliance of the scott brothers.
The Chief out
the movie list cant b complete widout role models
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
xD
i know ppl are tired of hearing about it state your opinion of twilight and leave it alone.don't make people feel bad for really loving the movies/books. and disagree if you want , a lot of guys in my school seem to be jealous of the fact that girls are paying more attention to the books than them, so they tend to diss twilight.
and lastly , im a reader and ive never loved a book/ series more tha ive loved the twilight saga. stephanie meyerbrought me into a completely different wrld and i love that about her writing.i loved twilight and i dont know if the sequel will live up to the first. i think that MAYBE guys should stop thinking about ppl calling them and give their true opion
FUCK TWILIGHT!!!! right in the ass and cum in its ear
They have trained chimps that would draw up a better script than twishite... i mean twilight!
It does nothing for the genre but it is a truly well marketed piece of trash aimed at teens.
And that is the last time i will give this movie any of my time.
you all suck shit
y000hhzzz izzzz @ll s0h $uper kullz
coz youzses @ll $p3ndz y0uzz daizs c0mm3tn!ng on this shizz
love yahs!
the rest.. pretty shitty
The actors, especially the clown are brilliant. Cast was great and the scenes are breathtaking! I hope they will produce another one even though i guess it cant be as good as this one. Is it true the actor for the clown did suicide?
I guess if he did he probably got to much into his role huh?..and drugs..probably.."i am like a dog, i am running for the car, but i cant say what i do if i get it..." great actor...what u guys think?
