Member Discussion of 2013 LIST...

Goddammit -- I wanted to do the Forum for The Last Stand!

Okay, looking over the 2013 releases, including some that do not have release dates yet, here are the films to look out for, starting this week. First, films that have limited or no set release date:
The Canyons, InAPPropriate Comedy, Plan 9, Man of Tai Chi, Latino Paranormal Activity, Machete Kills, and Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie.

Now on to set releases: The Last Stand comes first, though Broken City and Mama could have Razzie potential.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. No doubt that's one, but maybe Movie 43 and/or Parker can push it off.

Bullet to the Head is one, but there's the possibility of Stand Up Guys, or maybe, dare I say it, Warm Bodies.

Identity Thief doesn't seem like the funniest movie, and then there's Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charlie Swan III.

A Good Day to Die Hard is my personal pick, Beautiful Creatures is also possible, and Safe Haven is definitely up there on the Razzie scale.

Dark Skies is from the man that made Legion and Priest, and Snitch is the first of a number of The Rock action movies coming this year. Snitch also has Susan Sarandon.

Jack the Giant Slayer seems just "meh", so Last Exorcism Part II might be the better choice. Stoker is also a possibility.

Oz the Great and Powerful has potential to go either way. Admission and/or Dead Man Down seem like safer bets.

The Cal looks pretty horrible, but maybe we want to go with Burt Wonderstone?

Yeah, Olympus Has Fallen is ours.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation is probably the most likely, but then there is The Host, from the author of Twilight, and Marriage Counselor, another Tyler Perry film, but this one features KIM KARDASHIAN. I gotta say that even though she doesn't seem like she'll be in the film too much, she still looks like a Barbie doll on camera (That's a bad thing, if you cannot guess.)

The Heat doesn't look all too impressive.

42... Only things I could see it nominated for are Worst Supporting Actor for Ford and Worst Remake. Evil Dead is strong possibility, and Scary Movie 5 is undeniable. Oblivion is a little less likely.

Pain & Gain and The Big Wedding are on the s*** list.

Great Gatsby is possible.

Fast and Furious 6 and Hangover Part III seem especially likely.

After Earth is almost a no brainer, though there is also The Internship and Now You See Me.

Man of Steel has stronger possibilities, but Seth Rogen is not having the greatest tract record at the moment, so maybe This is the End?

World War Z looks generic.

White House Down vs. Olympus Has Fallen... both lose.

The Lone Ranger looks like a potential train wreck that has an actual train wreck.

Grown Ups 2... Just, Grown Ups 2. Do I need to explain? Though, Pacific Rim could be a disappointment.

The Conjuring is likely. R.I.P.D., interesting but possibly not good.

The Wolverine might be a let down like the last Wolverine movie.

The Smurfs 2, of course.

300: Rise of an Empire and RED 2, both sequels that may, or may not, be necessary.

We're the Millers could be "ugh", but Elysium could disappoint.

2 Guns and The To Do List are maybes, but is anyone asking for Percy Jackson 2?

Mortal Instruments is another maybe.

Getaway has Selena Gomez, 'nuff said, but then there is Insidious Chapter 2.

Riddick, possibly.

Battle of the Year just for Chris Brown ALONE. I' Frankenstein... I don't know.

Runner Runner is possible, but then The Tomb is has more going for, or should I say against, it.

The Delivery Man, yawn. Paranoia, maybe.

Haunts could have Razzie potential,and so does the Oldboy remake.

Carrie, maybe. Malavita and The Seventh Son, also maybe.

Paranormal Activity 5, YES!

Ender's Game, it's possible.

One Direction Concert Movie 3D. Why not?

A Madea Christmas, 'nuff said.

Anchorman: The Legend Continues. Let me ask you this: How many sequels to successful comedies have actually been good? Then there is Last Vegas, a maybe.

47 Ronin, most likely. Jack Ryan and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, maybe.

That's it, do you guys agree?

Last night, the Golden Globes turned out to be one of the best award ceremonies I've watched in years -- I'm not kidding! I'm saying that because, until the very last minute, we didn't know what was going to win Best Picture/Drama. Like I said days ago, the fact that ZERO DARK THIRTY isn't up for the Best Director Oscar lowered its chances. So I thought that another movie would win at the Golden Globes, revealing the new Oscar front-runner. Throughout last night, each of the Best Motion Picture Drama nominees won some awards, so they all had equal odds. ARGO won Best Picture and also Best Director -- even though it's not even nominated for that category in the Oscars. So there's still no clear Oscar front-runner! The only other televised ceremonies here in Chile are the SAG Awards, but since they only award acting, they can't answer my question. Therefore, for the first time in years, the Oscars are truly going to be "unpredictable." 

In another twist, The Last Stand is now on a 5-0 slide on Rotten T. Breaking Dawn Part 2 got 8 positive reviews before it got 1 negative, and ended in the high 40s in approval rating, so I'm predicting this'll end up in the low 40s. If it keeps the good reviews up, THEN I'll say give it a pass, but definitely don't consider making the forum until it's released! Instead, we should keep the rest of our attention focused on Mama and Broken City for the week. And if they both get good or mixed reviews, I think we should upgrade Texas Chainsaw 3D and A Haunted House to official forums as "Leftover Worst New Movies of the Last 2 Weaks."  

Oh, I'm not saying Jodie doesn't deserve the career award -- I'm just curious because they usually don't give it to people that young.

Looks A Good Day To Die Hard is getting an R rating after all: LINK...

Does the rating really tell you if a movie is going to be any good?

Sounds like Grounder the Critic feared that they'd try to water down A Good Day to Die Hard for a PG-13 rating. Now that we know it's an R, it's most likely uncut.
