Looks good.  Looks like it could have been a good book series.

Mila Kunis = good. 

Channing Tatum = not so good. 


Hmm.

How on Earth did the Wachowskis get another studio to hand them a major budget again? Ugh.

Also, I think we can safely say now that Sean Bean will inevitably betray Channing Tatum and be killed by him.

Would it be so much to ask to make a damn movie where the bad guy actually wins?

Wait, they did that with the Matrix trilogy, didn't they. Carry on.

To be fair, V for Vendetta was well-done.  Still one of my favorite flicks.

Ooh, nice catch AB!  I hadn't thought about that til you pointed it out, but you're absolutely right.  The only way it would be a plot twist is if his character doesn't turn out to be evil *and* he lives through the entire thing.

And since that time, they've released two massive budget bombs.

Cloud Atlas covered its costs and Speed Racer lost 26 million.  in the Hollywood game theyre still pretty far ahead.

I liked Cloud Atlas.  To be fair, I saw it on HBO, but, it doesn't change the fact that I liked it.

I thought it was pretty cool as well.  I dont remember what was out at the same time that killed it at the box office.

Every time I see Mila Kunis in anything, I think of That 70s Show and can't take her seriously at all.

I remember seeing The Book of Eli in the theater. At the end, when she walks out of the compound wearing swords and supposedly looking all badass, the entire theater burst into laughter. Horrible, horrible casting.

New trailer released;

The scene where Tatum rescues Kunis looked 100% corny.  Like a spoof of a trailer.

Per IMD, release date is Feb 6th.

Probably hoping to build buzz for a Valentine date movie. Its release this time of year isn't necessarily a signal of no confidence (or not anymore).

You need to be observant when you Watch the movie. Pretty much what killed the film for alot of people, used to mindless rollercoaster movies
